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:Kids' Chess Club
DESCRIPTION:May 19 is the last meeting of the school year. We’ll reconvene in the fall. Stay tuned… \nLooking for other kids who share your excitement for playing chess? Is everyone at home getting tired of being asked to play?! NWPL has a solution for you: Chess Club! \nChallenge yourself while practicing your strategies against an opponent. Whether you come with some friends or make some new ones here\, it will be a fun time spent with like-minded kids. \nWe’ll set up the chessboards in the Room of Requirement\, away from noise and distractions. Bring your own set if you have a favorite. \nThis series\, geared toward students in grades 3-6\, will run through the school year\, with the possible exception of school vacation weeks. \nDon’t hesitate to get in touch with the Children’s librarians for more information or to sign up. \n“Chess helps you to concentrate\, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions\, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment.” – Garry Kasparov

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:Memorial Day | NWPL Closed
DESCRIPTION:Memorial Day\, originally known as Decoration Day\,  is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday of May to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. \nFirst observed in 1868\, the national observance followed many local observances that began at the end of the Civil War. Following World War I\, Memorial Day became a day of remembrance for all members of the U.S. Military who fought and died in service. Observance moved to the last Monday in May\, and it became universally known as Memorial Day in 1971. \n*** \nWhen the library is closed\, patrons can use our online catalog to renew books\, and place books on hold in addition to accessing eBooks\, eAudiobooks\, and movies to download and stream.
