Join us on September 19 for a discussion of Kathleen Grissom’s The Kitchen House. This novel, set in the antebellum South, tells the story of an indentured servant and the slaves she lives among. Copies are available in the library’s main lobby. The Belmont Book Discussion group meets on the third Wednesday of every other month.
This year, we have added a special October meeting to discuss Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, our 2018 One Book One Belmont selection.
Kitchen House: Wednesday, September 19 @3PM in the Flett Room
Frankenstein: Wednesday, October 17 @3PM in the Flett Room. Copies available in the library’s Reading Room.
Practice speaking English, improve your conversational skills, and learn about other cultures at the English language learning conversation groups here at the Library. Our groups meet:
Mondays, 10:00AM – 12:00PM in the Flett Room, beginning Sept. 16th
Wednesdays, 7:00PM – 8:30PM in the Flett Room, beginning Sept. 18th
No registration is necessary, just drop in. All meetings are free and open to the public. Please be aware that this is not an English class with a structured step-by-step curriculum. Instead, it is a chance to practice speaking, listening, and reading in a welcoming environment with guidance from the group leader. The skill level will be determined at the first few meetings, depending on the level of the participants. For more information please call the reference desk, 617-993-2870.
