Bricks for Better Brains© (18+) – Oak Lodge Library

Bricks for Better Brains© is an innovative cultural arts and heritage program serving older people through small-group, community-based workshops. Participants explore quilting traditions through accessible, hands-on creative experiences that expand later-life creativity, foster social connection, and support sustainable wellness practices. Participants will attend a weekly workshop for 6 consecutive weeks on the following dates: 3/7, 3/14, 3/21, 3/28, 4/4 and 4/11. Call to learn more and get registered!

Community Room Registration

The Community Room is available for meetings, presentations, or other non-commercial events. For groups of eight (8) or more, a reservation is required to use the room. Complete the online Community Room Registration form below, and library staff will contact you. Approved Community Room Registrations are valid for one year, and are renewable. When the Person Responsible in the group changes, a new form must be completed. The Person Responsible (or “a representative of the group”) must check in before each reserved use of the room.
