The CHML Writing Group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1 to 2:30pm. It is a friendly group for all styles and types of writing. Some write poetry, some short stories, others memoirs, diaries, novels or plays. Each week a different member leads the group. We begin with a writing quote to get us going, then share what we each are working on. The leader chooses the focus of the day, be it setting, point of view, idioms, etc. We often follow a writing prompt then spend time free writing. Those who wish may share a piece of writing. We inspire and learn from each other as we read what we are working on. Feel free to join this fun and welcoming group in the community room downstairs in the library.

If you would like to attend by Zoom, please email thedesk@hobbslibrary.org in advance so that the Zoom meeting may be launched.

Writing Group members’ blogs:

Tips, Tantrums and Tea- humorous stories, real solutions and moments of joy as I learn about the challenges of dementia (written by Susan Clout)

All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group, which meets at 1:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month. Currently we are meeting on Zoom. At our May meeting, we will be discussing the anonymous novel The Woman of Colour,. published in 1808 and featuring a biracial heroine who travels from Jamaica to England to fulfill the terms of her father’s will by marrying her cousin. A page-turner with Gothic overtones and a frank inquiry into British racial politics, this recently rediscovered work sheds new light both on the abolitionist era and on novels by Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë that also feature Caribbean women in complicated plots. Copies of The Woman of Colour are available for purchase, new or used; the novel can also be read online in a pdf version. In June we will conclude our series on eighteenth-century literature by taking up three short works by Jane Austen: her early novel Lady Susan, the abandoned The Watsons, and the first chapters of Sanditon, left unfinished at Austen's death and also featuring a “woman of colour.”

Page Turners maintains a discussion list for our members, through which you can receive advance background information and preparatory discussion questions. Please contact Sue Lanser (925-6244 or lanser@brandeis.edu) if you would like further information about the group or wish to join our mailing list.

The Charlotte Hobbs Speaker Series is honored to welcome Kirsten Cappy from Portland, Maine. With a team of children’s literature creators and immigrant community members, Kirsten Cappy co-founded I’m Your Neighbor Books, a project that builds welcoming communities for New Arrivals and New Americans—using diverse immigration stories in children's literature.

Kirsten will talk about the Welcoming Libraries project, featuring pop-up display units of Immigrant and New Generation children’s books that are available across the U.S.  The books include discussion questions to help people of all ages and backgrounds have conversations on immigration, welcoming, and belonging. A Welcoming Library will be available at Charlotte Hobbs Library through June.

“CLEANING” WITH THE HOBBS STORY SWAP

Well, it’s spring, and that’s one kind of “cleaning,” and it would fit the Story Swap’s May theme. Think about all the curious and nostalgic discoveries we make when we dig into home maintenance a bit more deeply than usual! But there’s also winning (“cleaning up”), repenting (spiritual cleanup), and just getting unwanted stuff out of our house, our lives, or our minds. Find your own cleaning stories, and come and share them online on Monday, May 20, from 1:00-2:30 pm EDT. Listeners and tellers all welcome. FMI or for the Zoom link, contact Jo Radner (jradner@american.edu).

I've helped 3000+ clients of all ages to see results and reach their goals, and I am excited to connect with new people in Maine. My youngest client is 7 years old, and my oldest client is 97 years old. No matter what your age is, I can help you with your goals! I specialize in metabolism, energy pathways, and balancing hormones through exercise to reach optimal health and fitness no matter what your age is.

Cost :

$150 for a month's worth of sessions. Each sessions is 45-50 minutes each

When?

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am, starting November 1st

Ages:

30-70 years old

Description:

Learn how to exercise properly for weight loss, muscle toning, increased energy and stamina. Weight loss can be difficult to navigate, mainly due to conflicting voices, methods, and opinions in the health industry. In this exercise class, you will learn which exercises to do, to maximize your results while minimizing the risk of injury. 1:1 private training can be expensive, while large classes can be difficult for people to learn. Small group personal training is the best of both worlds, as its less expensive than 1:1 training, while still maintaining the boutique feeling of personal training sessions. Come ready to exercise!

The CHML Writing Group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1 to 2:30pm. It is a friendly group for all styles and types of writing. Some write poetry, some short stories, others memoirs, diaries, novels or plays. Each week a different member leads the group. We begin with a writing quote to get us going, then share what we each are working on. The leader chooses the focus of the day, be it setting, point of view, idioms, etc. We often follow a writing prompt then spend time free writing. Those who wish may share a piece of writing. We inspire and learn from each other as we read what we are working on. Feel free to join this fun and welcoming group in the community room downstairs in the library.

If you would like to attend by Zoom, please email thedesk@hobbslibrary.org in advance so that the Zoom meeting may be launched.

Writing Group members’ blogs:

Join Dr. Brock Libby of Maine Health as well as the parent of two transgender children to learn more about this often misunderstood topic.

Gender-affirming care, as defined by the World Health Organization, encompasses a range of social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions “designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity” when it conflicts with the gender they were assigned at birth. The interventions help transgender people align various aspects of their lives — emotional, interpersonal, and biological — with their gender identity. As noted by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), that identity can run anywhere along a continuum that includes man, woman, a combination of those, neither of those, and fluid.

The interventions fall along a continuum as well, from counseling to changes in social expression to medications (such as hormone therapy). For children in particular, the timing of the interventions is based on several factors, including cognitive and physical development as well as parental consent. Surgery, including to reduce a person’s Adam’s Apple, or to align their chest or genitalia with their gender identity, is rarely provided to people under 18.

“The goal is not treatment, but to listen to the child and build understanding — to create an environment of safety in which emotions, questions, and concerns can be explored,” says Rafferty, lead author of a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) on gender-affirming care.

Small group personal training is the best of both worlds, as its less expensive than 1:1 training, while still maintaining the boutique feeling of personal training sessions. Come ready to exercise!

The CHML Writing Group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1 to 2:30pm. It is a friendly group for all styles and types of writing. Some write poetry, some short stories, others memoirs, diaries, novels or plays. Each week a different member leads the group. We begin with a writing quote to get us going, then share what we each are working on. The leader chooses the focus of the day, be it setting, point of view, idioms, etc. We often follow a writing prompt then spend time free writing. Those who wish may share a piece of writing. We inspire and learn from each other as we read what we are working on. Feel free to join this fun and welcoming group in the community room downstairs in the library.

If you would like to attend by Zoom, please email thedesk@hobbslibrary.org in advance so that the Zoom meeting may be launched.

What could be more fun than a hilarious mother-daughter-grandmother road trip to Elvis’s home?

Join us for a chat with Nancy about her novel, Graceland while you enjoy a few Elvis-inspired snacks and play some Elvis trivia. It promises to be a Hound Dog, Blue-Suede Shoes, Jailhouse Rock kinda’ night!

Nancy Crochiere’s debut novel, Graceland (2023), was an Amazon bestseller and named a top summer read by Parade, Woman’s World, and Deep South Magazines. Graceland was also a PopSugar and Read-with-Raegan book-club pick. Prior to writing fiction, Nancy was a family-humor columnist for local newspapers and collected her essays into the book The Mother Load. With her two daughters now grown, Nancy lives in Amesbury, MA, with her husband and some houseplants that could use more attention. In her spare time, she acts as an extra in TV shows and movies. You can catch her staring unabashedly at Bradley Cooper’s backside in the movie Joy.
