We have way more than just Book Groups at the library. We have a group for if you love crafts, a group for if you’re an aspiring writer, or a group for if you like Mah Johnng or Scrabble, or are in your 20s or 30s.
Check them out below. And whether you’ve participated in our Groups before, or not, there is always room for new members. Come to a meeting and see if you like it!
Attention wordsmiths! The Nevins Library Adult Scrabble Club is back for another round of wordplay. Join us for a fun night of scrabble. All competition levels are welcome.
The Adult Scrabble Club meets Every other Wednesday in the Trustees Room from 6:30-8:30pm.
Let the Games begin!
Do you have a story inside you that you’d like to write down? Have you already written something that you’d like others to read? Have you dreamed of writing the Great American Novel, and are looking for like-minded folks? Join other aspiring authors for this writing club.

Formerly known as Sociable Seniors. This is not your average book group!
We are still sociable, but, you don’t have to be a senior to join us. (You do have to be an adult).
Read whatever interest you. Then come to a meeting and share your thoughts with the group. We also talk about any activities, trips, concerts, etc. that we have taken part in or planning to do. Guaranteed laughs at every meeting!
Join us on the last Friday of the month at 1pm. (Barring holidays).

Let’s play Mah Jongg! We’re bringing this popular game back to the library, on the First Tuesday of the month at 1pm.
Not sure how to play? Maybe it has been awhile? Don’t worry! This is a friendly game, and we’ll do out best to match up people with similar skill levels.
The library will provide a few scoring cards, but it would be best if players had their own. They can be purchased HERE from the National Mah Jongg League. Cards usually become available in March for the year.
