Tech tips
The library offers one on one tech assistance every Tuesday from 1:30pm - 3:00pm at the Mount Vernon Senior Center. These mini sessions are designed to address a single issue and last about 15 minutes. Please note that we are unable to assist with in-depth technology issues, hardware repairs, specialized software instruction, online applications, banking or financial transactions, or anything we are not qualified to give advice about.
Join a book club
The library offers three different book clubs you can join! The READ Harder Book Club is meant to encourage readers to explore settings, characters, formats, genres, and perspectives that might be outside of their reading norms. Each month members select a reading challenge to complete. The Riverwalk Book Club is a themed book discussion group that meets at the library and walks along the beautiful Skagit River. Café con libros es nuestro nuevo club de lectura en español. Compartimos nuestros pensamientos sobre el libro de mes y disfrutamos de café, pan dulce y comunidad!
Adult Lego Club
Drop in on the second Saturday of each month from 1-2:30pm to build and create with LEGOS in the Reference Room of the library! This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Mount Vernon City Library.
