Do you knit, crochet, or sew for fun? Do you like to listen to audiobooks (or would you like to try)? Then this event is for you!

Bring your work-in-progress* to our craft circle, and we'll enjoy each other's company and get some inches done while we preview a new or upcoming audiobook from our partners at Libro.fm!

If you like the book, you can purchase the audiobook or hard copy from Midtown Reader and keep going on your own!

Questions about this event can be directed to jess@midtownreader.com.

*This is not a knitting class and craft materials will not be provided at this event. It's really just a chance to chill and vibe out with other knitters (or crocheters, or sewers, or macrame, or heck if you want to make friendship bracelets the whole time that works too!)

Join us for the “Join or Die” film screening. What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it? The answers are surprising, and not as agonizing as you might have imagined.

Since way back before there really was an official country with all that country-ish activity going on, Americans have been a nation of joiners. Famously, Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville wrote all about our unique proclivity to join and start all sorts of clubby stuff—compared to the European masses he was used to, made powerless by all those insufferable kings (he wrote a book about it that a few people read). All that joining continued right up until the 1960s when, according to renowned Harvard political scientist Dr. Robert Putnam, it all just sort of stopped.

“Join or Die,” a feature documentary, follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Join Bob — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country — as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it? The answers are surprising, and not-at-all-agonizing as you might have imagined.

Learn more about Bob and his movie, and watch the trailer. Join or start a club (goshdarnit) too!

Join The Grove Museum for a guided walking tour of the site, focusing on the intersection of nature, culture, and history.

In honor of Black History Month, February’s program will focus on what is known about the enslaved craftspeople who built the Call-Collins House and other antebellum structures in Tallahassee. The program will also touch on how African Americans shaped the natural and built environment of historical landscapes such as The Grove.

This is an informal program and guests can join or leave the walk at any time. Please wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to stand or walk for the majority of the tour.

Visit the museum before or after the walk to enjoy exhibits from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This program is free and open to the public. Parking for The Grove Museum is located at 902 N. Monroe St.
