Creative Aging is a state-wide program intended to build opportunities for New Jersey senior citizens to engage in creative aging activities, develop artistic skills and techniques, and to deepen community social engagement. Its mission is to turn on its head the prevailing view that older people are a burden on society and to promote an understanding that they are, in fact, valuable and important assets to be placed at the very heart of the community.
Tuesday 12/6, 12/13, & 12/20: felting class
Come to the library as the afternoons draw in and the festive season approaches. As always, absolutely no skill required; just your enthusiasm to create and to be with friends. On December 6th, attendees will learn how to felt and create a small holiday decoration. On the 13th and 20th, we will create small felt animals! This event is at capacity. Please register here to be put on the wait list! wednesday 12/14 & 12/21: Speechbuilding with toastmaster thaine shetter
What is Toastmasters? What do its members do?... (we need only to think of times when we might have benefited from a less embarrassing public address to see the worth of this talk). To add festive cheer, attendees will be given a holiday specific word/theme around which to build a 1 minute speech. And we will commit to making an item of food/drink from our own traditions. Those speeches will be delivered to the rest of the group on Wednesday 21st. We will eat, make merry and impress with our oratory! Absolutely no pressure- just festive fun! This event is at capacity. To be added to the wait list, please register here!

Stories from the Hopewell Museum Collection Wednesday, December 7th | Exhibits 6:45pm; Presentation 7:00pm Attend in-person at the Hopewell Theater or online via Zoom American Indians have lived in the Hopewell area for at least 9,000 years. Volunteers and an intern have recently completed cataloging approximately 2000 artifacts in the Hopewell Museum collection. Much of the material was donated to the Museum by local collectors. Through the study of these artifacts, together with other types of record, including historical sources, we are learning more about the ways of life of the people who lived here for so long. If you'd like to come early, some interesting artifacts from the Museum and other materials will be on display from 6:45 pm. 1/24: Sophie labelle's trans agenda speaking tour

She is also the author of several children's books, comic books, and novels, such as Ciel, My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!, Rachel's Christmas Boat, and more! From gender identity to book banning, Labelle’s comics tackle different social issues in her signature cartoony, satirical style.
