Crochet Club at Centralia Regional Library District is a friendly, social meetup for anyone who loves to stitch.

Extra yarn and hooks are available for those who need them. This is not a formal class, so participants work at their own pace with informal help from fellow crafters. All ages are welcome, and no registration or library card is required. The club meets once a month on the second Monday, except during holidays or other closures.
