SUMMARY:Poetry Group
DESCRIPTION:Writing poetry is a solitary endeavor. Are you looking for feedback on your poems? You are invited to join the Poetry Group at NWPL for sharing and critique. We meet weekly on Mondays 4 pm for about an hour and a half.* \nWhat does it mean to critique something? According to the Oxford Dictionary\, “noun: critique: a detailed analysis and assessment of something\, especially a literary\, philosophical\, or political theory.” \nSince “critique” has negative connotations\, we operate in workshop format. How? Billy Collins suggested “5 Things to Consider When Analyzing Poetry in an online ‘MasterClass.’” \n“Poetry involves different elements like language\, rhythm\, and structure. Together\, they tell a story and create a complexity that is unique to poetic verse. When studying poems in-depth\, look at these individual elements: \n\nTheme: Poetry often conveys a message through figurative language. The central idea and the subject matter can reveal the underlying theme of a poem.\nLanguage: From word choice to imagery\, language creates the mood and tone of a poem. The way language is arranged also impacts the rhythm of a poem.\nSound and rhythm: The syllabic patterns and stresses create the metrical pattern of a poem.\nStructure: The framework of a poem’s structure affects how it is meant to be read. A poet sculpts their story around stanzas\, line breaks\, rhyme patterns\, punctuation\, and pauses.\nContext: The who\, what\, where\, when\, and why of a poem can help explain its purpose. Look at these elements to discover the context of a poem.”\n\nThis group is open to all; RSVP is appreciated. Please email Programs@NormanWilliams.org. \n* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.

SUMMARY:Time to Talk Books | Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:NWPL’s “What’s On Your Nightstand” Book Discussion Group on Tuesday mornings is so popular\, we are forming a second group that will meet monthly in the early evening. \nLike WOYN\, “Time to Talk Books” has no assigned reading! We invite you to join us to learn what others are excited about reading\, recommend authors and titles\, talk about audio narrators\, explore book jacket designs\, and discuss other reading-related topics. \nWe will meet in person at NWPL and offer a hybrid Zoom option for anyone interested. Please register so we can send the link and – more importantly – contact you if the meeting needs to be changed for any reason. To sign up\, fill out the online form or email Programs@NormanWilliams.org.

SUMMARY:Literary Pairs | Book Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Intrigued by how books relate to each other? A single topic can be explored from different viewpoints; a literary trope – such as retelling a classic story – can result in different endings; a shared plot might highlight divergent experiences. \nBecause there are two books to read for each meeting\, this group usually meets quarterly on the 1st Wednesday of February\, May\, August\, and November\, at 1 pm.* Dessert will be provided! \nLibrarians Kathy Beaird and Lori Mitchell have teamed up to host this discussion of book pairings. Kathy has been in the book business all her adult life and loved every minute of it. Lori has been connecting readers and books for many years\, including a decade here at NWPL. \nEveryone is welcome! If the chosen topic or the titles pique your curiosity\, please join us. Email Programs@NormanWilliams.org if you wish to join remotely. You can view the current theme and title selection on our Book Discussion Group page. \n* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.

SUMMARY:What’s On Your Nightstand? | Book Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Meeting moved to 11/18 because the library is closed on Veterans Day. \nThis is NOT your usual Book Club! There is no assigned reading…. We chat about books you’re currently reading\, books you’ve loved\, and the books you’ve always wanted to read. \nAlong with great recommendations\, our discussions have ranged from the design and appeal of book jackets\, the ebook revolution\, listening to audiobooks\, which books we reread and why\, and the craft of writing. \nLibrarian Kathy Beaird has led this monthly gathering for over a decade. Everyone comes away energized and eager for more. Drop-ins welcome! \nFor annotated lists of participants’ past book recommendations\, please visit the Book Discussion Group page. \nEmail Programs@NormanWilliams.org with questions or the link to join via Zoom if you can’t make it in person.

SUMMARY:Read\, Cook\, Eat! | Cookbook Club
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to read about cooking\, experiment with recipes\, share stories about food with others\, and eat good food? If so\, we invite you to join Read\, Cook\, Eat!\, a cookbook discussion group. We meet at the library monthly on the 3rd Tuesday at 6 pm to share our creations.* \nNewcomers are always welcome; you don’t need kitchen credentials to join! Please email Programs@NormanWilliams.org to register – not required but it helps us figure out how to set up the tables and chairs. And we’ll keep you updated on the books selected\, or visit the Book Discussion Group page for current and past book or topic selections. \nImportant Details \n\nCookbooks & Recipes – We will hold a copy of the cookbook at the circulation desk for you to browse and pick out recipes you might wish to try. We’ll copy them at no charge (or you can take a photo with your phone). A second copy of the cookbook will be available to borrow for 3 days during the month leading up to the meeting.\nQuantity & Balance – This is a true potluck affair! There may be 3 desserts and 4 vegetable dishes or an appetizer and 5 different main dishes… Since recipe yields vary widely\, there is no set amount of food to bring. The goal is to discover new combinations of ingredients and flavors.\nEquipment & Utensils – While the library has a microwave and stove for reheating\, the kitchen is very small so preparation and cooking should be done before the meeting. For sustainability reasons\, we encourage everyone to bring their own place settings and utensils\, including serving spoons. We have a supply of disposable plates and utensils on hand.\nIngredients & Allergens – The food will be cooked in home kitchens; food may contain or come into contact with common allergens. The library cannot guarantee the ingredients or preparation of any dish served at this program. We encourage everyone to bring the recipe they used noting any ingredient substitution\, especially if it is a common allergen.\n\n* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.

SUMMARY:Poetry Group
DESCRIPTION:Writing poetry is a solitary endeavor. Are you looking for feedback on your poems? You are invited to join the Poetry Group at NWPL for sharing and critique. We meet weekly on Mondays 4 pm for about an hour and a half.* \nWhat does it mean to critique something? According to the Oxford Dictionary\, “noun: critique: a detailed analysis and assessment of something\, especially a literary\, philosophical\, or political theory.” \nSince “critique” has negative connotations\, we operate in workshop format. How? Billy Collins suggested “5 Things to Consider When Analyzing Poetry in an online ‘MasterClass.’” \n“Poetry involves different elements like language\, rhythm\, and structure. Together\, they tell a story and create a complexity that is unique to poetic verse. When studying poems in-depth\, look at these individual elements: \n\nTheme: Poetry often conveys a message through figurative language. The central idea and the subject matter can reveal the underlying theme of a poem.\nLanguage: From word choice to imagery\, language creates the mood and tone of a poem. The way language is arranged also impacts the rhythm of a poem.\nSound and rhythm: The syllabic patterns and stresses create the metrical pattern of a poem.\nStructure: The framework of a poem’s structure affects how it is meant to be read. A poet sculpts their story around stanzas\, line breaks\, rhyme patterns\, punctuation\, and pauses.\nContext: The who\, what\, where\, when\, and why of a poem can help explain its purpose. Look at these elements to discover the context of a poem.”\n\nThis group is open to all; RSVP is appreciated. Please email Programs@NormanWilliams.org. \n* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.
