The January meeting has been cancelled
Wednesday, February 10
an 11am Zoom meeting
The book for February is Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life.
This month we are reading Detective Inspector Huss by Helene Tursten. Inspector Irene Huss, stationed in Göteborg, is called through the rain-drenched wintry streets to the scene of an apparent suicide. The dead man landed on the sidewalk in front of his luxurious duplex apartment.
Every Thursday
1:30 – 3pm on Zoom
Join us for an afternoon of poetry with Rosemary Deen.
Please contact Rosemary at rmdeen@gmail.com if you’d like to join the group.
The Knitters are not meeting this winter
The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am – 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.
