Easton Library

The Knitting Circle is now meeting at the library every Monday from 1 – 3 PM.  Beginning and experienced knitters alike are enjoying this fun social time while learning and supporting each other with various knitting projects.  Once each month, Annette Arnold, owner of YARN at 99 Main Street, Greenwich will be present to teach a new project for any who are interested.  Knitters of all skill levels are welcome to attend. 

Mahjong players are meeting at the library on most Wednesdays at 1 p.m. to play this popular Chinese tile game using suits similar to rummy.  If you would like to play or would like to learn the game, please call the library to confirm that they are meeting.  692-2253

If you and some friends would like to meet to play chess, checkers, scrabble or another board game, please speak to library staff.

The director and trustees want everyone to know that Ancestry.com is now available on all of the library’s public access computers.  This service is free for all library customers.  Come in, look for the Ancestry icon on the computer desktops and have fun researching family roots.

Ancestry.com is the world’s largest online resource for family history research.  It has been a leader in the family history market for over 30 years.  It offers an extensive collection of billions of historical records that have been digitized, indexed and put online since 1996.  Ancestry.com is a helpful tool for the most committed family historians as well as those taking their first steps toward satisfying their curiosity about family stories.
