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. What to bring An excerpt from any work in progress — any genre, any stage. We'll use it. Midori Evans is a seasoned Toastmaster with […]
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.

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.

Gather around the “campfire” on the library lawn for an evening of chilling tales and creepy stories read by your favorite library staff members!

Wednesday, August 5, 2026 $65 Advance | $67 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm “The California Honeydrops...evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone.” -Rolling Stone Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman, Lech Wierzynski, and percussionist Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar, Beaumont Beaullieu on drums, Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night.
