Events Calendar / November 12, 2019
McAuliffe Evening Book Discussion: All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung
Join our new monthly evening book group for discussion of the compelling memoir of growing up as an adopted Korean child with white parents in Oregon. Her account is personal and thoughtful as she explores issues about her adoption and the meaning of family.
Led by Linda Goldberg.
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!
