Do you love writing but get nervous when asked to read your work? When it’s time to read your writing aloud – at an open mic, a book launch, or as part of a reading series – do you feel completely unprepared? Are you, like so many people, not at your best when in front of a live audience? Successful writers are successful readers – and that means having a toolbox of public speaking skills that you can tap into. This is a fun and interactive experiential learning opportunity. You’ll practice with your voice, your audience engagement, and your stage presence. Your words will be transformed! Whether you've never read your work aloud or you've done it a dozen times and still feel like something's off, this workshop meets you where you are. What you'll walk away with A concrete set of tools for reading your own work with confidence, clarity, and intention — so the next time you step up to a microphone, your writing sounds as good out loud as it does on the page.

Our monthly Magic: the Gathering group meets on the last Wednesday of each month.* Come play a few games in the world's most popular trading card game! Participants are invited to bring their own decks or build their own with a selection of the hundreds of cards we have at the library. Don't know how to play? We'll be glad to show you how! This program is intended for teens ages 12 to 18. No prior experience with the game is required to participate. We'll be meeting in the Fell Reading Room in the library. *If the last Wednesday of the month falls on a holiday, the meetup will be rescheduled, probably to the week before. Please check our calendar to be sure.
The Fall River Public Library invites all photography enthusiasts to join our new Photography Group. On the last Wednesday of each month, participants will share their work, provide feedback, and join in open discussion about the wonderful art of photography! A monthly, optional theme will be picked at random to help inspire and prompt our members to make new and exciting work to share each session. Participants are asked to bring in a thumbdrive of their work, with a selection of 5-10 photos, if they intend to share with the group that month. While we gladly accept photographers at all stages of their journeys, the Photography Group does not offer photography lessons. We do encourage our participants to ask questions about photography, and to share tips and tricks they’ve learned with each other. This program is intended for photographers ages 13 and up.
