Come check out our new weekly Monday night Craft Meetup.

Our next crafters' convergence is Monday, Feb. 13th at 5:30pm.

If you like to get together to craft, get inspired, and learn from others who are empowered with a strong DIY ("Do it Yourself") aesthetic, then this group is for you.

All skill levels are welcome and beginners will usually be able to get advice from members with more experience – so the only requirement is your enthusiasm!

Bring a project you're working on and get ready to share, learn, and have fun!

We meet on Monday nights in the comfy, cozy crafting corner at the Curtis Library, located on the second floor overlooking the garden.

• What happens inside our brains when we think about money?
• What kind of relationship does your brain have with your money?
• Would you like to learn to make more rational money choices?

Join us for a casual and informal discussion of Jason Zweig’s Your Money & Your Brain, which hopefully will help us answer these questions and more!

This program is free and open to all, refreshments served. For more information, contact Ellen Hawkins at ehawkins@curtislibrary.com, 725-5242 x.216
