Week Calendar

If you are a speaker of a language other than English and you would like to practice your English, join us every Friday morning at the Faxon Library! This is an adult intermediate level English class for people with some English experience, who can hold some conversations speaking about everyday topics and personal preferences. The class will review grammar basics, learn how to offer and request advice, talk about plans, and fix common mistakes in English pronunciation.

How to participate: Contact Pramod Pradhan, Community Engagement Librarian, (860) 561-8202.

This program is generously supported by the Thomas F. Kilfoil Memorial Bequest, West Hartford Library Foundation.

Join your fellow New Yorker readers for this weekly moderated discussion of the previous issue. Meetings are held in a hybrid format, both in person and over Zoom.

Dungeons & Dragons @ WHPL

The group meets on the last Wednesday of every month (except December) to provide feedback on original scripts. A knowledgeable volunteer moderator is selected from the group each month to oversee the meeting and facilitate the distribution of scripts. The group is geared to those with some screenwriting experience, though all are welcome to listen and observe. Only individuals who attend meetings regularly, and review submitted scripts, qualify to have their own script(s) reviewed by the group. New members must attend two meetings before having scripts considered for review by the group. Meetings are held in a hybrid format, both in person and over Zoom.

How to participate: Contact us at script@westhartfordlibrary.org.

This group is for adults ages 18 and up ONLY.
