Bring your current project and hang out among the stacks at Hook & Book! This casual fiber-arts social—our own local take on a classic stitch 'n' bitch—will take place on Monday, December 7th, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Marion Public Library. The event is completely free and open to adults (ages 18+). There is no assigned reading, but feel free to pass along your recommendations -- one hooker to another.😜  Whether you knit, crochet, embroider, or spin, bring your current work-in-progress and enjoy some dedicated crafting time with fellow makers.

Know how to play American-style Mahjongg?  Join us at 6pm on Wednesdays at the Marion Public Library for an evening of this a fascinating rummy-like game, that combines skill and luck –played with tiles rather than cards. Table space is limited to 8-12 players, so be sure to email rachelg@scplva.net to let us know you are interested.   We will provide the tile games and annual Mahjongg cards for use at the library (cannot be taken home) and even a snack to keep you going.  FREE.  Ages 18+ Don’t know how to play?  We can teach you. Be sure to email us rachelg@scplva.net to make sure we are set up to teach.  Players new to the game will need to either come a bit early on Wednesday evening (5:30pm) to learn some basics beforehand and will be paired with another player for the first few times you play.  Can’t play in the evenings?  Check out Mahjongg Mornings, Wednesdays at 10am.
