DESCRIPTION:Surrounded by cobwebs and creepy noises coming out of the dark corners\, you might encounter a lonely witch or hairy goblin waiting for you on Sunday afternoon at the library.

Then it’s down\, down to the dungeon… \n…where you will discover the Halloween Party in the Children’s Room! \nPlease join us for these not-too-scary tricks and lots of treats – fun for the younger set and the less intrepid among us. We’ll have games\, activities\, and seasonal snacks. Costumes are encouraged. Children under 11 must be accompanied by a caregiver 14 or older for everyone’s peace of mind. \nAdrian Tans & skeleton at a SBOOKY Library party \nThe SBOOKY LIBRARY event is free and open to all; donations to support this event are appreciated.

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: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:Veterans Day | NWPL Closed
DESCRIPTION:Veterans Day\, originally known as Armistice Day\, is observed annually on November 11th. It is a holiday honoring the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces. \nThe November date is important because in 1918\, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month\, major hostilities of World War I formally ended when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. \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.
