Join this group of friendly fiber artists as they work on their projects, help others, and visit on a weekly basis. It is a great place to get help, begin a new craft and get ideas for new projects. Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Study Room.

When?

Tuesdays and Thursdays: Sessions begin at 9am, 10am, and 11am

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.

Slow Motion is both a heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary friendship and an awakening to disability rights and advocacy. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, these stories reveal how Marcel has navigated prejudice, medical dismissal, and an ableist culture with grace and determination— and how Jen learned to see the world through entirely new eyes.

“I felt not so much inspired by this story as welcomed into it.”

–Monica Wood, author of “How to Read a Book” and “When We Were the Kennedys”

We’re celebrating the library’s 125th anniversary and recognizing our amazing volunteers. Come join us for cake, games, gifts, memories, and gratitude! Everyone is welcome!

All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group.  Our September selection is George Saunders’s award-winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo (2017) Experimental in form, the novel is set in the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s tragic loss of his beloved son Willie, but it engages a large cast of characters who are hovering between life and death to explore deep questions about love, loss, and reconciliation. 

 In October we will begin a literary exploration of Russian literature through some short readings by nineteenth-century writers in the age of Pushkin and Lermontov.  Our selection for November and December will be Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (1878).  If you are joining us to discuss this magnificent novel, the translation by Rosamund Bartlett is an ideal choice.

 Page Turners welcomes new members maintains a discussion list through which members receive background information and discussion questions for each book.  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.  With occasional exceptions, we meet on the second Monday of each month.

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!

Bio:

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.

The CHML Board meeting takes place every 3rd Tuesday of the month. We welcome and encourage members of the community to attend as a way to voice your concerns, ideas, opportunities or comments.

Every Wednesday morning, library volunteers can help with your basic questions: “How do I use Zoom?” or “How do I log on to my library account on the library website?” or “How do I forward photos from my phone?” 9-10:30am or by appointment. Please call 925-3177 FMI or to schedule an appointment.

Join this group of friendly fiber artists as they work on their projects, help others, and visit on a weekly basis. It is a great place to get help, begin a new craft and get ideas for new projects. Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Study Room.

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.
