In fact\, the opposite is true. You can’t make this stuff up! It’s all in how you tell the story. This workshop will take you through the process of zeroing in on true stories and crafting them with the same tools and techniques that fiction writers use to bring words to life on the page. We’ll explore theme\, structure\, voice\, dialogue and more\, along with exercises for sourcing material from life experience. Read more about Ruth Crocker in her bio\, and her publications on her website. \nWriting Fiction: The Art of Storytelling | Susan Kietzman\nMonday\, July 12 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM\nA writer brings to a story unique perspective\, voice\, and imagination — all of which shape how the story is told. In this workshop\, we’ll explore the creation of fiction\, as well as dive into some key elements: character\, setting\, dialogue\, plot\, and point of view. We’ll talk about style\, discipline\, and what it takes to turn your idea into a novel. Be prepared to write\, discuss\, and learn from one another. Read more about Susan Kietzman in her bio\, and her publications on her website. \nWriting Through Trauma: Steps for Post Traumatic Growth | Regina Bartlett\nMonday\, July 26 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM \nPain.

This workshop will show you steps to take to look inward – in your own time – and discover how to use writing as a healing place and channel past pain points to forge a path for growth. Prompts will gently guide you to excavate your past\, and provide the tools to craft your story into something meaningful for others to read.

Richard Wagner owned two parrots. Other than music and trains\, Antonin Dvorak’s greatest passion was for his flock of pigeons. One pianist lived in a Paris apartment with 121 parrots and cockatoos (as well as two apes!). Gustav Mahler was an exception. He entrusted his wife Alma to find a summer cottage in the woods where there were no birds so he could compose in silence. \nA large number of composers have been inspired by bird song since at least Clemens Non Papa (death around 1556) and his “Reveil des Oiseaux.” During the following centuries\, much music was written about cuckoos\, cockerels\, ducks\, larks\, magpies\, nightingales\, owls\, parrots\, swans\, wood doves and unhatched chicks. \nJeffrey Engel will present several musical works by bird loving composers of the past 400 years in this musical celebration of this year’s Summer Reading theme: Tails & Tales. \nRegistration is required to attend this program. You will receive a Zoom invitation the morning of the program.

If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes\, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection gives you a chance to begin drug therapy\, enroll in clinical studies\, and plan for the future. Attend this workshop training to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. Hear from people who have the disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others. This workshop will be led and instructed by a representative from the Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. \nRegistration is required to attend this program. Unvaccinated people must wear a mask in the building. Fully vaccinated people are not required to wear a mask. Out of respect for many who visit the library\, we ask that you continue to wear a mask while attending in-person programs. Choosing to do so will make a safer environment for all\, especially children and those with compromised or weakened immune systems. Thank you for your consideration.
