Kalyana Mitta is a Pali term which means "spiritual friend" or "wise companion."

The goal of this study group is to provide a setting for the exploration of mindfulness meditation topics and for the deepening development of mindfulness as a way of being in the world with wisdom and compassion.

The one-hour meeting will include short meditation exercises and a facilitated discussion of selected texts. Ideally, before and after the session there will also be an opportunity to share tea, socialize, and get to know one another as a small, friendly community.

The Library will be hosting a COVID-19 vaccine clinic, run by RI Medical Reserve Corps. First, second and booster injections will be offered. This program is free and open to the public. Please scan the QR code or go to RI Department of Health Vaccinate RI for more information and to register.

Join us for a fun craft night with the Barony of the Bridge! 

Motivational speaker Constance Hallinan Lagan will teach us how to live optimistically and provide us with some powerful tools to start the new year with a peaceful state of mind.

Have you ever wondered what kind of ghouls could be lurking in your own back yard? If so, join us to listen as the outdoor explorer Michael Girard from Strange New England shares some of New England's most interesting monsters. While exploring the more fascinating history of New England, Michael has uncovered some extraordinary tales of strange creatures, fiends, sinister brutes, and leviathans that most people have never heard of. Sit back and enjoy a bit of Strange New England history you never hear about in school.

Join one of New England's premiere storytellers for a trip through the unusual and the unexplained! Come explore the haunts around the world and those in your own back yard! Jeff Belanger brings different stories every time he offers this program, so no two are the same.
