Teens

Do you love to write?  Need some friendly support and feedback?  Join us in this collaborative, creative writing group now every Monday at 3:30pm!

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 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!

Teen Book Club (Ages 13-18)

This month we decided to have a suggested reading of “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. We will have copies available at the library on our Book Club table for you to pick up.

We will spend the first half of the meeting reading in companionable silence. During the second half of the meeting, we’ll chat about what we’ve read recently (including however much of the suggested reading we’ve gotten through), eat some snacks, and decide what we want next month to look like!

No registration needed, just drop in! Newcomers are always welcome!

This event is intended only for ages 13-18. Those younger than 13, should check out our Kids Book Club for ages 8-12, Comic Book Club for ages 6-12, My First Book Club for ages 5-8, or our Silent Book Club at Starbucks for all ages.

Heartfulness Mediation Group Session

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!

Join us on Saturday March 21, 10am-2pm for Purl Power!

This is our fifth year partnering with the Gates Avenue Knitters for NJ Makers Day. These experienced local knitters are volunteering their time to teach community members how to knit. Folks of all ages who are interested in learning how to knit are invited to drop in and sit down at a table in our large meeting room. There the volunteers will supply the materials and the advice on how to get started. Get started with a new hobby, come away after making a small project!

Maker’s Day is all about making something- tinkering, learning, thinking, and doing. We hope you stop by the library and try something new!
