- **Event Name**: Live Book Reading and Discussion: The Age of Homespun
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Starting on February 1st, the Independence 250 Committee and the Bethel Library Association’s Yarn Hub are hosting a monthly long reading of "The Age of Homespun" by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. This book presents a fascinating look at how everyday objects—spinning wheels, cloth, clothing—shaped early American life, especially women’s work and experiences. This book reminds us that history isn’t just made in grand moments, but in the quiet, skillful labor of daily life. In keeping with the theme of the book, please bring any handwork project you have going (knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, embroidery, rug hooking, quilting, hand piecing). And if you don’t have a handwork project going, come anyway. 

You do not need to read the book yourself to attend the reading, but if you want to, there will be a few copies of the book to borrow from the Bethel Library Association.
