Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the newsletter on the group's site, then come to the next open event, such as the Freedom to Learn fundraiser at The Study on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 6 pm..

What to expect

Open events are for families and children. Past ones have included author meet and greets, a bookmaking activity, and a quiet reflection room. The site does not say how long an event runs or what it costs, so ask by email first.
