Book Group
Thursday, November 12th at 6pm
The Group will be reading The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter by Hazel Gaynor. Please contact the Library for available copies.
Joining a book group has great benefits. You will be encouraged to read more, explore outside genres you normally read, and make new friends. The Granby Library Book Group covers a wide range of genres which include both fiction and non-fiction titles. Group members vote on titles they want to read a few months in advance. The discussions are always very lively and entertaining. Upcoming book titles are available at the library in different formats – regular print, large print, and audio.
Upcoming Book Group Titles:
- December – This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page
- January – Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs
- February – The Caretaker by Ron Rash
Donations of premade gift baskets and new handcrafted items will be accepted until December 3rd.
All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Granby Free Public Library.
Urban Sketching: Collage the City
Saturday, November 14th at 11am
A hands-on urban sketching workshop with a twist! Begin by playing with watercolors, creating watercolor washes in sunset hues, moody grays, and vibrant city pops. Once your painted papers have dried, you’ll tear and cut them into rooftops, windows, trees, and street silhouettes, then collage them together to build your own unique scene—no drawing skills required.
Space is limited; visit our Calendar of Events to pre-register.
