The Fair was a huge success!
Thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this one of the best Library Fairs. And special thanks to all the new and returning volunteers who made the event run so smoothly. In true community spirit, we all came together to celebrate the day! We thank everyone who helped, and all of those in the community who came out to enjoy the festivities.

The show focuses on nature, and in particular, birds. Her archival pigment prints will also be available for purchase.
Artist's Statement: "My art is inspired by the beauty of the natural world. The wondrous creatures we share this planet with leave me in awe and provide me with balance and harmony in a complex and often cruel world.

Want to brush up or improve your French with a conversation hour? Claudine is a native French speaker, born in Paris and raised in Europe; following a 30 year Government career abroad, she chose Stone Ridge to retire in. Culture, medicine, travels, and anything/everything culinary are favorite subjects-which she would love to share and exchange in French. The program is offered on the third Tuesday of each month.

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. Some of us can help toward the repair of knitted or crocheted items too.

The group is sociable and lively, and our conversation and sharing is just as wide-ranging as our projects. We are especially interested in the UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) that members bring in and love the show and tell of projects under way and being finished, new or old, simple or complex. Though knitting is our love and mainstay, we graciously adapt ourselves to stray crocheters and those of us who simply must take to the hook when the spirit moves. We share articles, magazines and books on knitting. Donations of yarn to the Library get made up into items for sale at the Library Fair and during the winter holidays for the benefit of the Library. Some of us also knit things for local hospitals or for the U.S. troops.
