Join Our “Coral Crochet Circle”
Starting June 6 at 2:00 p.m., in partnership with Williams College's Berkshires Satellite Reef project, we will be hosting weekly "Coral Crochet Circles" for our patrons to contribute to the reef!
The Berkshires Satellite Reef — part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef by artists Christine and Margaret Wertheim and the Institute for Figuring — is a communal art project entailing the crowd-sourced creation of a life-size coral reef made entirely out of crochet.
No prior skills in crochet necessary – beginners welcome!
The reef will be exhibited at Williams College in the ’62 Center for Theatre & Dance as an immersive installation in the spring of 2026. All ages and members of all Berkshires communities (and beyond) are welcome to participate by making a coral crochet piece!
Additionally, we have a basket in the library where you can donate yarn that will be used for the satellite reef.
Borrow and enjoy audiobooks, eBooks, comics, movies, TV, magazines, or music everywhere you have a screen - your computer, your phone, your car, even your TV. All you need is a library card.
