New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell

Presenter: Pamela Weeks October 9 at 4 pm

Quilts tell stories, and quilt history is full of myths and misinformation as well as heart-warming tales of service and tradition. Nearly every world culture that has cold weather uses quilted textiles – quilting is NOT just an American art. Pam Weeks weaves world history, women's history, industrial history and just plain wonderful stories into her presentation. Participants are invited to bring one quilt for identification and/or story sharing. Prompted in part by the material culture at hand, the presenter may speak about fashion fads, the Colonial Revival, quilt making for Civil War soldiers, and anything else quilt-related she can squeeze in.

This month’s read is the Flight Paths by Rebecca Heisman. This is a non fiction book about bird migration. Some copies are still available at the library desk.

The Nelson Library invites our families with younger children to join us Monday After School Meetups which include Story time, Craft a Snack and Playtime!

Each Monday the library will host a brief story and snack in the children's area. Children and their parents will then be invited to the Town Hall or outdoor for a combination of unstructured and themed gross motor activities.

Please note this is not a drop off activity and parents/ caregivers are required to remain in the library. In agreement with town office policies, the Town Hall playtime must have a library employee in attendance. If one is not available, playtime may need to remain in the library.

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy delightful stories, converse with and meet other families, get some exercise and share a tasty treat with friends! This program is run by volunteers

The Nelson Library Writing Group

Welcome to the Nelson Library Writing Group! We're thrilled to invite you to our creative gatherings where words come to life. Our sessions are held on the 4th Saturday of each month.

Our group is all about the magic of words in various forms—poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. We encourage you to bring copies of your writing, keeping it within a 10-minute read. Not sure about copies? Don't fret! You can swing by the library to make them before our meet-up or send your work over via email, and we'll take care of the printing for you. Sharing emails means we can dive into each other's stories even before we gather, fostering an even deeper connection through our words.

For those spontaneous souls, last-minute attendees are always welcome! Just drop in and join us. If you're brimming with ideas or eager to be a part of this group, reach out to the library. Your thoughts and participation are valued and welcomed.

Let's embark on this literary journey together, weaving tales, painting landscapes with words, and creating a space where creativity thrives. See you at the Nelson Library!
