Do you love to write?  Need some friendly support and feedback?  Join us in this collaborative, creative writing group every Monday at 10:15am!

A beloved LHT Library patron, Elaine Shaub, loved to write.  She would come to the library to free her mind and write her stream of consciousness.  Sadly, Elaine passed away in April of 2024 and, in her memory, the LHT Library invites community residents to be part of the newly re-formed Elaine’s Peacock Writers Group.  Inspiration, guidance, support and gentle critiques will be offered at the monthly meetings.  Experience is not necessary, only the desire to put pen to paper and write.  Tools required: pen and paper, tablet or laptop — whatever helps the writing process.  All are welcome — what is shared in the group, stays in the group!

Each meeting,  a “Writing Prompt” will be provided to assist in the creative writing process and help direct the group discussions. In addition, every meeting will begin with a brief discussion on writing craft, creativity, writing preparation and time management.

This is a writing forum where everyone will be asked to write-out or simply jot-down their ideas and read them to the group. We welcome feedback and the writing trainer will provide light, constructive criticism. Please note that this is an adult forum, so adult language is tolerated within the context of the writing pieces.

Newcomers are always welcome!

Heartfulness meditation is a simple yet profound practice that helps individuals achieve a deeper sense of relaxation, inner calm, and emotional balance. By focusing on the heart, this practice encourages self-awareness, and a connection to one’s inner self. It offers a practical approach to managing stress, reducing anxiety, and cultivating better sleep habits.

Walk-ins are welcome!

Virtual Art Talk – Claude Monet and Venice: Part 1

Indisputably, Claude Monet is one of the most recognizable and celebrated figures in art history. Everyone loves his beautiful landscapes, colorful and dynamic depictions of modern life, and monumental garden scenes. Monet also painted the grandeur of Venice to much acclaim, and the Brooklyn Museum will be reuniting many of these glorious scenes in a blockbuster exhibition opening in October 2025.

In Part 1 of this talk on January 21, we will learn about Monet’s journey from a rejected outsider to a ground-breaking icon of Modernism.

In Part 2 on January 28, we will not only be dazzled by Monet’s Venetian masterpieces but will see centuries of art works by a variety of painters who were inspired to capture the city of Venice, creating spellbinding images of the water, light, architecture, and magnificent coastal landscapes of this unique and magical place.

This program explores the history of a variety of different candies, including some that have been around for well over 100 years and some that are quite new.
