Sometimes, the best ideas happen around a table. At Granby Library, that’s exactly what the Senior Lunch & Learn is all about. Running monthly on the first Tuesday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., this community-centered event offers more than just a free lunch—it delivers curiosity, camaraderie, and the chance to learn something new in a warm, welcoming setting.
Hosted by the Grand County Library District at Granby Library, this ongoing event runs through December 2025 and invites seniors throughout the area to step out of the house and into a space of discovery and friendly connection.
Whether you come for the meal, the presentation, the people, or all of the above, one thing’s for sure—Lunch & Learn is quickly becoming one of the most enriching and social hours on the calendar for Grand County seniors.
A Monthly Tradition That Nourishes More Than the Body
Each month’s Lunch & Learn begins with a free lunch, prepared with care and served in the heart of the Granby Library. But the nourishment doesn’t end with the food. After everyone settles in, guests enjoy a 15- to 30-minute presentation on a topic designed to inform, inspire, or simply spark curiosity.
Subjects range from health and wellness, to local history, to useful resources for daily life. Presentations are often led by knowledgeable professionals, local organizations, or community members who bring real insight to the room.
And while the learning is key, so is the connection. This is a chance for Grand County’s senior community to share stories, ask questions, and build friendships that go beyond the event.
Why It’s Worth Your Tuesday
Let’s face it—midweek can feel like a slump. But on the first Tuesday of the month, there’s something to look forward to. Lunch & Learn is about much more than passing time—it’s about making time meaningful.
Here’s why it’s quickly become a favorite local gathering:
- Free, no-stress access to both lunch and learning
- Friendly, welcoming environment perfect for meeting new people
