Let's make music!
Come and join us for an informal jam session! Bring your voice and/or an instrument (if you play one). Share the songs you know and learn new ones. Everyone is welcome even if you just want to listen, but be ready to have a good time!
Led by local educator and folk musician Dennis Lum.
Join us for an hour of dedicated reading. Socialize after, or not!
How it works: B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Book) or grab something new off the shelf and read alongside other readers! There are no assigned readings. All book genres and formats are welcome.
