October Events at the Conifer Public Library

There's a chill in the air now that October is here! Find a warm stop at the library and check out what's coming up this month. Just a reminder as well, the library will be closed on Monday, Oct. 8 for staff training.


Every Saturday in October- Family Time, 10:45 am - Everyone is invited for stories, singing, rhyming and dancing.

10/3- Conifer Meditation Group, 6:30 pm - Guide your mind to a place of peace, happiness, and bliss. The Conifer/Bailey/Evergreen area meditation group is open to anyone interested in meditating regularly in a group setting. No previous meditation experience is required. We don't focus on a particular meditation format, but instead sample a variety of methods as different group members lead a 20-30 minute group meditation at each gathering. Please bring a cushion, mat or pillow if you don't care to sit on a chair. Anyone present can start the session and awaken the group at the end.
Held on the first and third Wednesday of the month.
