Join us at the long table near the children’s section for a relaxed, lively conversation sparked by books we’ve been reading. Let's talk about books! This isn’t a “we all read the same book” book club. Instead, members share insights from a book they’ve read, and we all walk away with new thoughts and inspirations. If numbers are small, we’ll stay as one group and take turns sharing: * the book you read * a brief summary * why it mattered to you * how it shifted your thinking or behaviour From there, the conversation unfolds naturally. Bring yourself, an open and curious mind, and the book if you’d like (it’s not required). You’re welcome to simply listen and join in when it feels right. A list of book titles and authors shared will be posted after the event, so you can stay present in the discussion rather than worrying about taking notes. The library is open from **1–4 pm**. We’ll begin at **1:30 pm**, allowing time to arrive, find the table, and grab a cuppa if you wish. There’s a free drink station in the foyer.

There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones.
