COLORFUL STORIES FOR OCTOBER

The Hobbs Story Swap theme this month is very flexible – COLOR!

This could take us anywhere. Autumn colors, of course (though muted, this dry year), so, anything related to the fall. But just free-associate! Painting and interior decoration. Opinion (our ideas are colored by…). Joseph’s coat of many colors. Our experiences of race and racism. Colorful characters. Childhood (or adult) coloring books. Colorlessness; seeing in black and white. Coloring within the lines. So many metaphors!

This month we return to our usual Wednesday meeting day: Wednesday, Oct. 15, 1:00-2:30pm EDT.

Bring your stories and memories of COLOR to our online gathering. Can’t wait to hear what comes up! FMI or to receive the Zoom link, contact Jo Radner (jradner@american.edu).

The House at Schumannstrasse 7 is a story about Alice and Heinrch, Jewish-Germans, who were caught between two countries, two world wars and the politics of identity. In 1915, the British imprisoned Heinrich because he was German. In 1938, Nazis sent him to Dachau, where he was tortured and released. He sought sanctuary in England. The British imprisoned him. Alice fled Germany by “sealed train” a short-lived, but live-saving service.

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.

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.

Storytime can be an integral part of early literacy education, introducing young children to books, rhymes, music and other literacy-based activities.

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.
