Our month-long passport to skills, creativity, & connection

This year marks a special milestone for the Friends of Storrs Library (FOSL): 30 years of dedicated service and support to the Longmeadow community.  To celebrate this remarkable anniversary, FOSL is excited to present “30 For 30”, a month-long event designed to bring people together and empower them with new and practical skills that enhance everyday life.

Over 30 days, participants will have the opportunity to attend 10 engaging sessions, each featuring three presentations focused on a unique theme.

This unique collaboration truly embodies the spirit of community engagement that has defined the FOSL for three decades.

Each session is designed to be accessible and engaging, making it easy for participants to jump in, learn something new, and walk away with practical skills to enhance their daily lives. Whatever your interests, 30 For 30 has something to offer.  All 30 For 30 events are free to attend, thanks to the generosity of our volunteer presenters.
