SYRACUSE — Adults can find community and relaxation at the Syracuse Public Library.

The library has an active Mahjong group that meets at 10 a.m. on Mondays and 1 p.m. on Wednesdays in the downstairs meeting room. Players of all skill levels, including learners, are welcome at the tables.

The knit and crochet club will meet at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, in the upstairs sitting area. All fiber artists — not only knitters and crocheters — are encouraged to bring their latest projects to the library for an hour of relaxation. Syracuse Public Library also has books about fiber arts and patterns available for checkout.

Friends Of The Library Meeting

The Friends of the Syracuse Public Library will meet at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 1, in the library’s downstairs meeting room. Since this meeting occurs before the library opens, knock on the southernmost North Harrison Street door — near the staff parking lot. The Friends do a lot to support the Syracuse Public Library and its mission of lifelong learning.

Young Adult Video Gaming

Teens can play the library’s Nintendo Switch with fellow gamers from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1, in the Rosalyn Jones Room. The library will provide snacks.

Children’s Programming

Children’s programming is on a break after summer reading. Parents can mark their calendars for the programming return at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 14, with both story time and homeschool class. Additional fall programming will arrive in September.
