• Call before you go to be sure these groups are still active.
• Also, we have started an informal ADOPT-A-LIBRARY program to assist libraries with their after-school and summer programs to teach adults or children how to knit or crochet.  Please contact your neighborhood library and volunteer.

Comment: There is a group of us knitters & crocheters who meet at the South Philly branch library (on Broad @ Morris) on Wednesday from 6 pm to close (8ish).  We will be in the back towards the kid's section by the windows facing Broad Street.  There are only a few of us now but more are definitely welcome. It's quite informal, a just show up and knit vibe.
