This month we will be reading Palaver by Bryan Washington. In Tokyo, the son works as an English tutor and drinks his nights away with friends at a gay bar. Heâs entangled in a sexual relationship with a married man, and while he has built a chosen family in Japan, he is estranged from his mother in Houston, whose preference for the sonâs oft-troubled homophobic brother, Chris, pushed him to leave home. Then, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, ten years since they last saw each other, the mother arrives uninvited on his doorstep. Written with understated humor and an open heart, moving through past and present and across Houston, Jamaica, and Japan, Bryan Washingtonâs Palaver is an intricate story of family, love, and the beauty of a life among others. https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/rainbowlit-lgbtq-book-group-39/

In this simple one-session course you will learn how to start using simple computer programming to create simple graphics artwork. NO previous computer programming experience is necessary. However, some basic computer knowledge â turning on the computer, using a word processor, and such is assumed of the students. Bringing your computer to class, with Python installed, is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. We hope to have YOU create art. The computer serves as our pen, brush, paints, and canvas all rolled into one. We will discover and design the art we want, using the computer as a tool, as one would use the aforementioned tools to help create art. The computer often can draw straighter lines. We will start with amazingly simple figures and build more interesting structures. Questions?

For students looking for a more structured format for learning English. This group, led by Carolyn, offers an interactive opportunity to develop a range of skills over an 8-week period. Each week will include journal writing, short stories and articles for reading comprehension, and practice dialogues. The dialogues are drawn from everyday situations: taking public transportation, going shopping, or ordering food in a restaurant. Vocabulary and grammar will be drawn from these sources, and careful attention will be given to the pronunciation and rhythmic flow of spoken English. The primary objective is to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment in which to learn English. https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/english-study-with-carolyn-5/
