The Cannon Free Library

The mission of the Cannon Free Library is to provide free resources, services, programs and enrichment in a welcoming environment to meet the informational, educational and entertainment needs of the Delhi community.

Preschool Story Time, Toddler Rhyme Time, Afterschool Fun & more…

The Cannon Free Library hosts multiple children’s programs every week.

November in a Nutshell: The library’s Autumn/Winter Saturday hours begin on November 2, and on that day, we’ll be running the popular TRAIN EVENT. Bring the kids for a morning of track-assembling-train-driving fun while you kick back and find a comfortable chair and a good book. The Train Event begins at 10 and ends at noon.

The library has long hosted a weekly knitting circle, a monthly writers’ group and a weekly mahjong meet. Now we’re eager for card players to join our prospective Bridge Group. Are you up for a Friday afternoon Bridge game? Please contact Susan at the library at di.susan@4cls.org or call 607.746.2662 to express your interest! We’re also trying to kick off an evening knitting group to cater to those who might like to congregate with fellow knitters (or those who crochet.) Tuesday or Thursday evenings? Please contact the library to express your interest, or to make suggestions.

Our first Kids’ Puzzle Contest will be held after school on Wednesday, November 13. Four identical puzzles, 4 teams of puzzle solvers will race to the finish. Mark the date, send the kids on the school bus (or bring them in just before 3:00.) Speediest team will be awarded champion!

The Writers’ Group will meet on Wednesday, November 13 before the puzzle contest.

Please note that the library will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday and Saturday. The library will open again on the morning of Tuesday, December 3 with Storytime, as usual.

Veterans’ Day is November 11

Respect and honor our veterans and service members of the United States Armed Forces on Veterans’ Day and every day.

Our BOOK CLUB meets every month to discuss a previously chosen book or to discuss the books that members have recently read. On Tuesday, November 19th we’ll be discussing Amor Towles Table for Two: Stories. Contact the library if you’d like a copy of the book.

Writers’ Group: If you’re a writer or a Poet–published or otherwise–please consider a sit-down with the Cannon Free Library Writers’ Group. Meetings every second Wednesday of the month at 1pm.

Consider dropping in to the Knitting Circle or the Mahjong Group

Knitters and crocheters gather around the table each Wednesday from 10:00 until noon. Other handicrafters are always welcome, too, for a time of creation and conversation.

Mahjong action takes place every Thursday between noon and 4pm. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert or just curious about Mahjong, you’re welcome to come and play. Bring a friend!
