Adult Programs
Adult D&D
1st Thursday of the Month | 5 – 7 PM | Old Fort Branch Library
Curious about TTRPG games? Used to play D&D and looking to get back into it? Or just looking to hang out and make some adult friends? Join us for our new D&D campaign for adults– the most requested program our branch has had in quite a while!
Beginners and old hands are welcome alike, and we have all the supplies on hand!
Adult Craft: Haunted Paper Houses
Thursday, November 13 | 5-7 PM | Old Fort Branch Library
Come take a stab at some simple rustic crafts from materials you can find lying around in nature– even just in the yard of the library!
You’ll have your choice of three options: walnut shell hedgehogs, a walnut shell owl, or a tiny gnome neighborhood from acorn caps and other bits.
Mountain Stories Book Club
On Hiatus | Mountain Gateway Museum
For the past several months, we have worked with the Mountain Gateway Museum to offer a book club that focuses on stories set in and around local areas! This book club is going on hiatus for the holiday season, but we’ll see you in January for the start of Season 2!
All Ages
Stringed Instrument Learn & Jam
1st & 3rd Saturday of the Month | 1-3 PM | Old Fort Branch Library
Come learn some basics on how to play stringed instruments in a low-pressure environment, or just share and jam with other musicians!
We’re focusing on guitar, but if you have a ukulele, mandolin, or dulcimer, we can help you out!
Some instruments provided, but bring yours if you have one!
Game Night!
Thursday, November 20 | 5-7 PM | Old Fort Branch Library
Come hang out and play some games! We have Magic the Gathering, Catan, Munchkin, and more! Of course, there will also be snacks!
Feel free to bring your favorite games to share, too!
