The Town’s Bike and Pedestrian Committee is excited to host a book discussion series on Thursday evenings 6-7 p.m. through the month of July at the library. We will be reading and discussing Curbing Traffic: The human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives, by Melissa and Chris Bruntlett.
Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Remember the novel that you started writing seven years ago? Is it finished? Maybe you want to write your first screenplay? Pour some poems onto the page? Settle into a daily writing habit? Join a community of writers and artists who just want to write. Come any time. No need to share, no need to critique or be critiqued. Just write in the company of other writers. Show up when you feel like it, write for 90 minutes, hang out afterwards, or not, share your work or listen to others.
