Celebrate Women's History Month with events across the Library District. Take reading on the go with Libby, and tackle your taxes with help at your local library.

Discover Quilting

We are partnering with the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild for the third annual Quilt Trail, featuring more than 200 items including antique quilts and smaller works. Quilts can be viewed at all twelve library locations between Wednesday, March 1, and Friday, March 31.

Be sure to pick up a Quilt Trail Passport from any ACLD location! The Passport also includes a stamp checkoff page. Complete the checkoff by visiting every branch in the district to view the quilts. Get your stamps, sign your checkoff, then return it to any ACLD location before March 31 to be entered to win a unique handmade quilt from Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild quilter Marilyn Wagner.

Quilting newbies and enthusiasts can also learn new skills at special quilting programs all month.
