For the life-long student who really want to learn in a small informal setting... join or organize a Study Group!

If you are a maritime fan, boat owner, or an amateur backyard boat builder, you just might want to meet others who share your passion. Study groups are a great way to learn & to meet others who wish to explore specific topics.  And perhaps, you'll learn something or make a new friend.  Study Groups will meet in the evening at the Anacortes Library or Emerald Marine Carpentry.
