Many of the engineering challenges facing humans today are similar to difficulties that exist in the natural world. Plants and animals have evolved through generations of successes and failures resulting in remarkable adaptations to overcome these challenges.

Join us as we explore the ways engineers have taken advantage of nature’s bright ideas through biomimicry. And meet some live animals that help us draw comparisons between human-made products and animal adaptations.  As we look for creative solutions to future problems, perhaps we can find inspiration by observing nature in our own backyard! 

Super Slow Flow Yoga with Barefoot Nichole is for all levels of fitness. Drawing from different styles of Yoga, mobility and animal movement, this class tends to be a little bit of everything.

Please email with any questions. Barefoot.nichole@gmail.com No previous yoga experience required. Great for beginners!

Lost on a Mountain in Maine tells the inspiring true story of 12-year-old Donn Fendler, who becomes separated from his family by a fast moving storm atop a treacherous mountain. For nine days Donn fights to stay alive as he attempts to survive the unforgiving wilderness of northern Maine without food, proper clothing, or the knowledge of how bad his situation really is. His disappearance sparks a massive search effort that captures national headlines and attracts hundreds of volunteers, including his own father who fears he may never see his son again.

Join us for Storytime every Monday unless there’s a holiday or snow day. Featuring stories, songs, rhymes, and crafts or other extension activities. Recommended for children aged 5 and under and their grown-up.

All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group. Our August meeting will focus on three short stories by American women: Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour”; (1894), Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s “The Revolt of Mother”; (1890), and Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers”; (1917). These classic stories open up fascinating questions about women and marriage at the turn of the twentieth century, especially in rural America, and about the short story form that dominated the popular press from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s. This will be a hybrid gathering on Zoom and in the library’s community room.

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

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)

My name is Dan Lyons, and I'm a career personal trainer and exercise physiologist. I've been the owner of a personal training business in Boston for the past 15 years, specializing in weight loss and muscle toning. I recently moved to Maine, and am looking to connect with the community and teach people the easiest and best way to lose weight, tone up and improve their energy. 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.

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:

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

Robert W Spencer- a writer wandering in time (written by Robert Spencer)
