As part of Summer Reading, the library offers this all-ages program!
|
What do Yebba, JRR Tolkein, and Jazz have in common? Come find out as the Greg Loughman trio leads you on a jazz-infused exploration of epic fantasy novels. With this concert, we will highlight a diverse group of epic fantasy fiction writers and describe the works they have written while performing music related to their stories.
|
If you enjoy jazz, you’ll love how Greg Loughman’s trio uses epic fantasy authors and works as inspiration for their jazz compositions and performance.
|
If you’re a fan of epic fantasy, you can celebrate your favorite authors and books and discover new works while being entertained by world-class jazz.
|
Authors celebrated will be Tolkien (LOtR), Tomi Adeyemi (Legends of the Orisha), Liani Taylor (Daughter of Smoke & Bone), Robin Hobb (Farseer Trilogy), George RR Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), and others.
|
This event is generously sponsored by the Library Trustees.

Starting this week! Introverts Unite! Quietly of course.
|
This group starts with a half hour of unstructured social time and light refreshments followed by an hour of uninterrupted silent reading. Bring your own book, and take some time to tackle that TBR pile. The Silent Book Club does not have a preselected reading list.
|
While all ages are welcome at this book club, participants should be able to read quietly without disrupting others.
|
Silent Book Club will meet in the Coolidge Corner Meeting Room on the 1st Thursday of the month from 7 - 8:30 pm.
