20-to-30-Somethings Book Club is getting revamped and reimagined into something very exciting!  This year, the Massachusetts Center for the Book has released a state-wide reading challenge, and we created this coinciding book group to get you inspired and keep on track with it! Each month, we'll read a book that matches that month's challenge, then gather to talk about our reading experiences.   You don't have to be in your 20s and 30s, and we most likely won't all read the same books; what you choose to read is up to you. Here's the schedule: January: A book published or about the year you were born  February: A book with the name of a city in the title March: A book about someone with a marginalized identity April: A book about books, bookstores, or libraries May: A book with a first sentence of eight words or less June: A book that spans multiple generations July: A book you were drawn to by its cover August: A book with a protagonist who is a teenager or senior citizen September: A book told in non-chronological order October: A book published by a Massachusetts press November: A cookbook or book about food December: Another book by an author you've already read Reach out to us for book recommendations! Contact lbrooks@cwmars.org or call 978-365-4160 with any questions. https://bigelowlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/2025-reading-challenge-book-club-5/

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Join Emmalie Langan, Training Coordinator for Samaritans of Merrimack Valley, for a presentation on suicide prevention. Samaritans is a suicide prevention and postvention (after a suicide death) center serving the northeast area of MA since 1980 and a program of Family Services of the Merrimack Valley, which is a social service agency with over 20 different programs serving the Merrimack Valley. With over 135 suicide deaths per day in the US, it is important to be able to recognize when a friend or family member may be struggling with thoughts of suicide. Knowing when to ask, “Are you thinking about taking your life?” is an important first step in helping someone. This presentation will help provide participants with the information necessary to possibly save a life. After this presentation, audience members will be able to: Understand the prevalence of suicide in the US Dispel the myths around suicide Recognize the risk factors and warnings signs of possible suicide risk as well as protective factors Be able to openly and nonjudgmentally talk with someone who may be at risk Better understand what risk level a person may be at (non-clinically) Have the resources available to get help for the person There will be time to ask questions at the end of this presentation. Emmalie has been the Samaritans training coordinator for over 4 years and has facilitated various programs, including Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), Youth Mental Health First Aid as well as trainings focused on working aged people and elders. She comes to Samaritans with experience as a peer counselor for LBGTQIA+ young adults and working in youth and homeless services.  https://bigelowlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-supporting-people-at-risk-of-suicide/
