Time moves so fast and we don't often get the time to sit and appreciate a good poem. So let's change that - this meet up will focus on a different poet each month. Led by poet Rebecca Connors, we'll get a brief bio and details of the poet, and then spend the rest of the time reading a few poems by the author. While we enjoy the music and the voice, we'll use this time to explore how we connect to the poems. This is open to adults and teens 15 and up, no experience in poetry needed. This is just a chance to be in community and appreciate what poetry opens for us. April's poet is TBD. Poetry collections by the selected poet will be at the Circulation Desk. https://maynardpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/poetry-appreciation-society-5/

Stories in Fiber: Art by Cindy Kennelly March 20-April 18, 2026 Artist's description: I create all of my artwork using sheep wool. I combine those fibers with silk and yarn to create my desired look. For this exhibit, I’ve chosen many of my all-time favorite books and created pieces to reflect the covers and/or content of those books. As a retired preschool teacher, you will notice that the majority of my pieces are related to children’s literature. In three pieces, the art truly reflects the cover of the book. In those cases I reached out to the authors and publishers and have received permission to make and exhibit the work. The observers can match the books to the art. Book titles include: Owl Babies, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The House on Pooh Corner, Pete’s a Pizza, Giraffe Problems, Library Lion, The House on the Cerulean Sea, God Of the Woods, Music of the Bees, To Kill a Mockingbird. Bio: I've studied all aspects of felting: needle felting, wet felting, and nuno felting. My favorite pieces now incorporate at least one of these processes in my work. Over the past 10 years I've shown and sold my work on Etsy, Artsy, and at fiber shows. I am a founding member of TAG, the Art Gallery, in the artist's district in Boston, MA. Most recently I've been featured at Gallery Twist (Lexington, MA), Morse Institute Library (Natick, MA), Pearce Museum (Dublin, Ireland), Creative Hub of Worcester (Worcester, MA), Cambridge Art (Cambridge, MA), Mosesian Center for the Arts (Watertown, MA), Worcester Craft Center (Worcester, MA), LexArt (Lexington, MA), Environmental Education Center (Basking Ridge, NJ) and a solo show at the Gallery 01760 (Natick, MA). https://maynardpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/stories-in-fiber-exhibit-last-day/

Join us for a performance by Richard Franklin Donohue, Tenor & Harpsichord! What A Glorious Crash They Made features a collection of “New Songs” and Hymns published in New England during the American Revolution. From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown, New England’s seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation. Richard Franklin Donohue, Tenor & Harpsichord, will share his original research and explore this fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.” The program spans the Revolutionary war years with selections like John Dickenson's Liberty Song, William Billings' Chester, Thomas Paine’s Liberty Tree, and several popular British tunes with "new" texts reflecting the cause of freedom. Richard Franklin Donohue is a singer, private music instructor, and historian. Vocally, he is a tenor who specializes in historic music ranging from Middle English Carols to 19th century romantic music. He has been teaching Piano, Voice, and Music Theory since 1992. Richard is the Town Historian of his hometown of Cromwell, Connecticut and has been the President and Program Director of the Cromwell Historical Society twenty years. He is the author of "Rosetown Review," a monthly history article published in the Cromwell Life newspaper and presents historical lectures throughout New England on various topics.  https://maynardpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/what-a-glorious-crash-they-made-musick-of-new-england-s-revolution/
