Bog Myrtle Book & Art Club

Join MG for a three-week series where she will read aloud Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp while listeners quietly craft. Together, we will discuss the book, celebrate the love of nature, and making art.

Bring your nature treasures (rocks, pine cones, shells, sticks) for show & tell, your knitting/crochet/handiwork/mending to work on while we read, and/or use our art supplies.

Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp
Brief synopsis from Annick Press: From the acclaimed author of The Wolf Suit comes another weirdly hilarious, masterfully thought-provoking, and lushly painted early reader graphic novel.

Two sisters, one stubbornly cheerful (Beatrice) and one relentlessly grumpy (Magnolia), live in a drafty old house with a family of helpful spiders. When Beatrice is gifted magic yarn from a giant forest spider obsessed with sustainability named Bog Myrtle, she and the spiders set to work knitting up a perfectly warm sweater.

But greedy Magnolia sees only the opportunity for profit, and quickly converts the old house into a magic sweater factory. The exhausted spiders are driven to strike, and Bog Myrtle is not pleased . . .

Building Resilient Community

Join us for a continuing conversation about community resilience, both now and for the long haul.

What do you want to learn? Come learn in the company of others! We'll discuss community-led workshop offerings and dive deeper into what we'd like to accomplish together. There will be opportunities for small- and large-group discussion.

Feel free to bring along food for snacking or sharing if you'd like, as well as an offering for our time together (a treasure from the woods, a poem, a song, a story...). Some snacks will be provided too.

The Community Room will be open after 11; meeting will begin at 11:30.

All ages invited to join in. Coloring sheets available :)
