Join National Book Award long-listed author Marcella Pixley to celebrate the launch of her newest middle-grade book, Neshama, with an author talk, reading, and book signing.  "Anna sees ghosts. The spirits of her ancestors call to her from the shadows, and no matter where she is, Anna always answers. Kids in her middle school tease her. Teachers and parents are worried by her strange behavior. The only one who seems to understand is Anna’s beloved grandmother, Bubbe, who has always treasured Anna’s shayna neshama, her beautiful soul. Spending Shabbos with Bubbe is the only thing that gives Anna the sense of love and belonging that she needs. But when a ghost named Ruthie appears at Bubbe’s house by the sea, Anna begins to uncover long-hidden secrets that reveal the mystery of her family’s troubled past. As Anna and Ruthie get closer, Anna must decide for herself whether being connected to a restless ghost is worth the risk. When it becomes clear that Bubbe’s life is in danger, Anna must face the horrible truth: She alone has the ability to save her family and heal the wounds that follow them from one generation to the next." Marcella Pixley is the award-winning author of four novels for middle-grade and young adult readers, including, most recently, Trowbridge Road, which was long-listed for the National Book Award, received a Massachusetts Book Award Honor, was nominated for Vermont's Golden Dome Award, and was a Junior Library Guild Selection. It was also named a best book of 2020 by Shelf Awareness, Reading Group Choices, and A Mighty Girl. Marcella Pixley teaches eighth-grade language arts in Massachusetts, where she lives with her family. This event is presented in partnership with The Concord Bookshop. https://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/meet-the-author-marcella-pixley/

Start your week off right by dancing, singing, and having some fun at Musical Monday! Matt Heaton was raised in a golden age of kids’ media. The Muppets, Free to Be You and Me, Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and more all provided the soundtrack of his early childhood. He tries to bring elements of those classic shows—the musicianship, the wit, the respect and kindness—to families today. His songs blend the mid-century rockabilly, surf, soul, western swing and country music he loves with a sense of humor that works for both kids and adults. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, a patron-supported non-profit organization.

Films at Fowler continues in spring 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 spring 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.  Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962) Discussion date on Zoom: Wednesday, May 21 at 7 p.m -  This French New Wave film directed by Agnès Varda follows—in real time—a young singer named Cléo (Corinne Marchand) as she spends two hours wandering Paris and talking to friends and strangers, including a soldier on leave from service in Algeria, while waiting for the results of a medical test that may confirm a difficult diagnosis.  Please watch the film on Kanopy before the discussion.  To register for Films at Fowler discussions, please send an email to [email protected] https://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-films-at-fowler-cleo-from-5-to-7/

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.
