Events Calendar / November 05, 2019
Book Art: Hedgehogs
Create a hedgehog out of recycled books by folding the pages and decorating it. No experience necessary. Children under 8 must have an adult with them.
All ages.
Journal Writer’s Group
Please join the group to explore the many ways to journal for personal growth and enrichment. Starting in February, we will be working through the book Writing Down the Bones, by Natalie Goldberg.
Main Library Book Discussion: Normal People by Sally Rooney
Join us to discuss this celebrated page-turner--a will-they-won't-they love story with sympathetic protagonists whose lives are complicated by economic uncertainty and class differences.
Poetry Workshop
Led by Alan Feldman, Professor Emeritus at Framingham State University
This drop-in class welcomes serious poets of all ages and levels of experience who would like to participate for one or more sessions. We begin with a discussion of a topic in poetry leading to a brief in-class assignment. Poets who wish to have their work discussed should bring copies.
Alan’s collection, Immortality, was awarded the Massachusetts Book Award for Poetry in 2016.
Storywalk (every day through November 15)
Take a self-guided walk around the library to read our fall title, Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds! Start at the bottom of the Pearl St. ramp, continue around the building, up the Lexington St. steps, then halfway down the ramp to the stairs to the Reading Garden and the end of the story.
Write to an Author
In honor of National Author’s Day, stop by the library to write a friendly letter to any author you enjoy! Tell them what book they wrote is your favorite, ask them questions, or just draw them a picture. We’ll mail letters at the end of the month to the authors!
