During the month of April, we will explore the connection between visual art and language. Each week will feature a new prompt that incorporates words, poetry, and text into the creative process. You might transform a poem into an image, layer meaningful words into a collage, create illustrated quotes, or experiment with expressive lettering and storytelling through art.

No artistic experience is required just curiosity and a willingness to create.

Come make something, connect with others, and enjoy the process of art. No registration required.

Discover how to transform nightly struggles into calm connection — and use the powerful minutes before sleep to help your child feel secure, confident, and resilient tomorrow.

Love to read but not into assigned books? Our Library Book Club is the perfect fit! Each month features a fun, flexible theme—and for March, we’re going Eclectic.

That means anything goes: mix up genres, explore something unexpected, revisit an old favorite, or pick up a title you’d never normally choose. From memoirs to mysteries, sci-fi to self-help, poetry to graphic novels. If it sparks your interest, it belongs.

Come ready to share what you read, why you chose it, and what surprised you. This is a relaxed, welcoming space for thoughtful conversation, lively recommendations, and discovering books you might never have found on your own.

No required reading. No pressure. Just great books and great company. New members always welcome, no registration required.
