Adults

Level up your embroidery skills with artist and fiber arts enthusiast Tova Gorman-Baer! There will be two sessions for this program. In Thursday's beginner workshop, participants will learn several basic embroidery stitches, create patterns for their own projects, and learn how to find embroidery supplies on a budget. In the second session on Friday evening, participants will have a chance to learn some more advanced stitches and enjoy dedicated time to work on their projects with guidance from an instructor available.

Participants are encouraged to attend both sessions, but may register for just one if desired. Materials will be provided at the Thursday session. If you plan to attend only on Friday, please bring your own project to work on. Email kmckewin [at] rgpl.org (kmckewin[at]rgpl[dot]org) to register.

Both workshops are open to adults and teens ages 13+.

Come to the library once a month to work on your fiber arts project and chat with fellow crafters! All fiber and fabric arts projects are welcome—knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. This is a drop-in program that anyone is welcome to attend. Bring yourself and whatever your latest project is—we look forward to seeing you!

Join the Carpe Librum Book Club for its July meeting! Note that this discussion will take place one week later than normal due to the 4th of July holiday.

This month, our long-running fiction book club will be reading Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Carrie Soto is a tennis champion—arguably the greatest player in the world. So when a new young tennis star breaks Carrie's Grand Slam record 6 years after her retirement, she decides she needs to attempt one last year of Grand Slam tournaments to hold onto her title. This book tells the story of an athlete making an epic comeback, no matter the cost of greatness.

Copies of the book are available at the circulation desk one month before the posted discussion date. Registration is not required to attend the discussions, but if you would like to be added to the Carpe Librum emailing list, please contact kmckewin [at] rgpl.org.

Join us on the third Thursday of the month for a series of one-shot DnD campaigns! Note that our June 2025 meeting will be held one week earlier due to the library being closed on Juneteenth.

These mini adventures are designed to be played in one sitting and are perfect for both new and experienced players alike. If you're brand new, we'll have everything you need to play available, although players who are already familiar with DnD are welcome to bring a level 1-2 character and dice if they wish. New players should try to arrive to their first session 10 minutes early to prepare.
