We are inviting you to check out “Coffee and Cards” on Wednesday, February 15 from 10am to 12pm, hosted in the library room just inside the front lobby. It will be a time to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and maybe play a board game (some available, or bring your own) with others or just have some conversation. It’s open to folks in the neighbourhood, especially a 65+ population. If you’re unable to make it, don’t worry, we hope to make Coffee and Cards a monthly event (third Wednesday of the month). So invite your neighbors and friends out for some company and your favourite board games. Looking forward to seeing you there!
