Read and have fun each week as we explore a series of books by the same author with the educators from Watertown Family Center. Recommended for ages 3 to 6. What is an Author study? It is an incredible opportunity for children to learn how to compare and contrast themes in author’s books, analyze text and illustrations, and make connections between an author's life and his/her work and between the author's work and your child’s life. Sign up guarantees space for all sessions. Space is limited. Please contact Coordinator of Children's Services Deborah Borsuk with any questions at [email protected]. https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/little-bookworms-author-study-registration-required-18/

Katharine Martin from The Wellness Consortium will guide us through a Tarot workshop and kick off our new monthly tarot group.  People often turn to tarot and other divination practices in moments of uncertainty—when standing at a crossroads, seeking clarity, or navigating change. Yet the truth is, the insight we seek often already resides within us.  Attendees will identify a topic or question they would like clarity on and be led through a simple somatic practice to help access the wisdom that exists within each of us. The group will then work with Tarot cards to gain deeper understanding into their chosen topic. Attendees will explore example spreads and learn how to craft meaningful questions that lead to clearer, more supportive tarot insights.  Whether you are brand new to Tarot or looking to strengthen your intuitive skills, this workshop offers a grounding space to slow down, listen inward, and leave feeling more connected to your own inner guidance.  If you have a deck of your own, you are encouraged to bring your own to use. (If you are a first-time learner, Katharine suggests this deck).  There will be decks available to use as well.  Space is limited so please make sure to register.  https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/tarot-intuition-tapping-into-your-inner-wisdom/
