Films at Fowler continues in summer 2025 with Classics Old and New! For 26 years Concord film viewers gathered on winter evenings at Fowler Library to see some of the most interesting and stimulating examples of current and classic cinema from around the world. That movie series, now called Films at Fowler, changed to an online video streaming format in 2021 and continues in that format in 2024. Because we no longer meet in person, we now watch—on your own schedule—selected movies on Kanopy, a free streaming service available to Library patrons. We will then gather on Zoom on scheduled evenings for a lively movie discussion. The theme of the movies this summer is Classics Old and New!  The movies in this series are highly regarded classic movies that let us experience other people and other stories from around the world.  Modern Times (1936) Discussion date on Zoom: Wednesday, July 9 at 7 p.m - Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp struggles to adapt to the modern mechanized world and its many dehumanizing new technological advancements.  Please watch the film on Kanopy before the discussion.  To register for Films at Fowler discussions, please send an email to FilmsatFowler@concordlibrary.org https://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-films-at-fowler-modern-times-1936/

Join local yoga instructor Jen for drop-in yoga for adults. This gentle flow class  is accessible for all levels and focuses on breath, alignment, and truly grounding movement. Yoga mats, straps, and blocks are available, but you can also bring your own.  Bio: Jen's journey with yoga started 20 years ago as a way to quiet her busy mind and find balance. The physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga have helped her navigate life’s ups and downs while cultivating compassion and self-awareness. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Cindy Boulter at Revolution Community Yoga in May 2024 and is thrilled to share her practice with others. Her classes combine poses of ease and strength always keeping balance in mind. Breath awareness, safety, grounding and functional movement are weaved into every class. Jen is also certified in Talk Yoga, a language-based yoga program for children. She is passionate about helping children and adults gain self-awareness and compassion through movement and breath. When not practicing yoga, Jen works as a graphic designer and art director. Her creativity and inspiring nature shine through in her teaching.
