You’ve got a friend
Speed-Friending at the library is back by popular demand, and this time, we’ve broken it into two sessions. One on Nov. 6 for ages 18-45 and another on Nov. 13 for ages 45 and up.
Are you new to the area, stuck in a stay-at-home or work-from-home rut, or simply looking for new friends but not sure how or where to start? Why not try the library? Speed-Friending is like speed-dating, but for friendships! In this low-key social event, pairs will get a few minutes to talk (ice breakers are provided) before moving on to the next person. At the end, make a friendship bracelet for someone you vibed with (or yourself, no judgement here) and connect more with the people you enjoyed talking to.
Visit bethlehem.librarycalendar.com to sign up for either session.
