The Chinese American Association of Watertown (CAAW) invites you to learn Hong Kong/Cantonese style mahjong – a tile-based game of skill, strategy, and luck that is quite different from the tile-matching game you may have encountered in computer games. Instead, 4 players gather around a table and compete to outwit their opponents and be the first to make a winning hand of 14 tiles. If you are already familiar with Chinese mahjong (144 tiles), you may or may not be playing the version being taught at this event! Hong Kong/Cantonese mahjong differs from American mahjong (166 tiles) and does not use jokers or wilds. It is also distinct from Taiwanese mahjong—which we have previously taught—that uses 16 tiles as base and wins with 17 tiles. Scoring, therefore, also differs from Taiwanese style. A favorite pastime of many, we will learn the basics of the game by playing a demonstration hand where each player’s tiles are revealed (face up) and discuss strategy when deciding whether to pick up discarded tiles. The tiles we will use will have numbers carved into the corners so you do not need to know how to read Chinese characters to play! Since 4 players are required for each table, this session can guarantee the first 12 players a seat at the table. Registrants on the waitlist are encouraged to come watch the demonstration and learn—in fact, it may be even easier to learn by watching!—and will have the opportunity to sit down when seats open up. The Chinese American Association of Watertown is a newly formed cultural group dedicated to fostering cultural unity, community empowerment, and social integration for individuals of Chinese heritage in the Watertown area. Note: Chinese mahjong is a game of patterns and strategy, requires quick thinking, motor dexterity, and arm reach for drawing and discarding physical tiles on a square table. Therefore, this session is recommended for ages 12 and up. -- The Watertown Free Public Library does not discriminate and does not share your information with anyone.

Cook the Books meets once per month on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30PM in the Watertown Free Public Library's Café and registration is required - spots are limited. Cook the Books is a monthly cookbook club. Every month a cookbook theme is selected. Members select one recipe from any cookbook that meets the theme, and brings the food to the Watertown Library to enjoy as a club. All members would discuss what it was like cooking the recipes, what they learned, and just bond over great food and company! The goal is to (1) engage people in the community who love cooking, have been doing so for years and could be great resources to others (2) get people excited about cooking who may be newer to it/ want to learn more (3) act as a way for folks who are foodies to bond - because what better way to meet people than through a good meal. Share what dish you are bringing to share in our linked document. 2025 Themes: January - Citrus (use a recipe with any citrusy flavor) February - Sweet and/or Savory (a recipe that showcases sweet flavors, savory flavors, or both) March - "Vintage" Recipes (a recipe for a historical, ageless, or timeless dish) April - Kitchen Appliance Recipes (a recipe that requires a particular or favorite kitchen appliance) May - Flowers/Flour Recipes (a recipe that uses flowers, flour, or both) June - Bite Size/Finger Foods (a recipe for bite sized/finger foods) July - French Cuisine (celebrate Bastille Day with French foods) August - Sensational Salads (recipes that don't involve much cooking during the summer heat) September - New England Classics (recipes that showcase a wicked good New England classic dish) October - Italian Cuisine (celebrate Italian Heritage month with Italian foods) November - Multicultural Cuisines (recipes showcasing the diverse "Cook the Books" participants.

This is the required training to use the Hatch laser cutter. You will learn the basics of setting up a job, safety considerations, acceptable materials, and some troubleshooting. This is the first step in becoming an independent user of the machine. This workshop will not show you how to design a project; we offer other workshops to help with the design process. You must be 16 or older to be trained and use the laser cutter independently.
