Looking for something different to do on a Thursday evening?

Come play chess at the library. Chess Club meets every Thursday from 4:30–7 PM, and all skill levels are welcome.

A Chess Master will be available for anyone who wants to learn, brush up on the basics, or sharpen their skills. Or just come for a game and see how you do.

Fall is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about those winter projects!

Join us every Wednesday from 2–4 PM for Stitchers Club and spend a couple of hours working on something creative.

Not sure what to make? This is a great time to start something you’ll be glad to have when the snow arrives — a pair of mittens, a warm hat, a scarf, or even a cozy blanket.

Bring your current project or come ready to learn something new. Knitters, crocheters, and all kinds of stitchers are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced makers.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea from the library coffee bar and settle in for an afternoon of stitching and conversation.

An Evening with Local Author Joe Connelly

Have you read Bringing Out the Dead or seen the Hollywood film starring Nicolas Cage? On October 29, join us at the library for a special evening with local author Joe Connelly, whose novel inspired the film.

We’ll watch the film adaptation together and have a chance to connect with Joe and learn more about the story behind the book and its journey to the big screen.

We’ll also have copies of Bringing Out the Dead available for purchase for $20 each, with proceeds going toward supporting the Town of Johnsburg Public Library.

Join us October 29 from 4–7 PM for a movie, a conversation with a local author, and a chance to support your library. We hope to see you there!

Book Club: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

What happens when the picture-perfect life you’ve carefully created suddenly becomes very, very real?

In Yesteryear, Natalie Heller Mills has built an online following around her carefully curated “traditional” life as a wife and mother. But when she unexpectedly wakes up in 1855, the rustic lifestyle she once presented so beautifully looks very different when there’s no electricity, no modern conveniences, and no way to simply turn the camera off. What follows is a darkly funny and unsettling look at tradition, motherhood, faith, fame, and the difference between the life we perform and the life we actually live.

Join us October 8 from 5–7 PM for a conversation about Yesteryear and all the questions it raises. And as always, you’re welcome whether you finished the book, only made it partway through, or didn’t get a chance to start it at all.

Bring a snack, drink, or meal to share if you’d like. 📖☕

Chess Club meets every Thursday from 4:30–7 PM, and everyone is welcome.

Whether you’re brand new to chess, getting back into it, or have been playing for years, come spend some time at the board. We’ll have a Chess Master with us for anyone who wants to learn the game, work through a tricky move, or sharpen their skills.

Come play a game, practice your strategy, and meet some other chess players from the community.

Time to get cozy and start a fall project!

As the temperatures drop and the leaves start to change, it’s the perfect time to pick up those needles or hooks and make something warm and cozy.

Join us every Wednesday from 2–4 PM for Stitchers Club! Bring a project you’re already working on, or get some inspiration and start something new.

Need an idea? 🍁 Try a chunky scarf, cozy cowl, or warm hat — all great projects for the season ahead.

Knitting, crocheting, needlework, and all kinds of stitching are welcome. Whether you’re experienced or just getting started, come stitch, share ideas, and enjoy some good company.
