Videotaped discussions with holistic practitioners, trauma survivors and members of different faiths follow both films. The original intention of "Miracles" was to create a bridge between despair and hope. The deeper meaning and intention, however, are to raise the awareness about the power of spirituality as an agent for empowerment, transformation and healing at individual, societal and worldwide levels.

	2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Introduction to Martial Arts: Soo Bahk Do
		Contact: Kim Claire, Young Adult Librarian 978-468-5577 x14 kclaire@mvlc.org
		This 5-week program will introduce the beginner student to the classical Korean martial art of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan. Boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 17 are invited to participate in a short series of classes held on Thursdays, 2pm to 3pm, through the month of August, which will expose them to the many benefits of this ancient form of self defense. Soo Bahk Do is a relatively modern martial art although its tradition and history date back many centuries. Developed by the late Grandmaster Hwang Kee, Soo Bahk Do is both a hard and soft style. Its kicking techniques for which it is renowned is only a small part of its effective combat application. Moo Duk Kwan is the school of philosophy through which Soo Bahk Do is practiced. Translated as “school of martial virtue,” Moo Duk Kwan gives the direction and focus to our mental training. Together, their purpose is to develop every aspect of the self in order to create a mature person who totally integrates his/her intellect, body, emotions and spirit. The course will be taught by Master James Harwood, a 6th Degree Certified Master Instructor with more than 30 years of training and teaching experience in Soo Bahk Do. He is married and the father of two sons who also train and teach the art form. Formerly owner/chief instructor of The Karate Center (Bay State Soo Bahk Do) of Middleton, Massachusetts, he has now focused his energy in offering the same quality instruction here in Hamilton. To attend please register at the Reference Desk located on the 2nd floor of the Library, or call the Reference Desk at 978-468-5577. Class size is limited to 15 participants, and there is no charge to attend. This class requires participants to wear athletic clothing such as sweatpants, yoga pants, or shorts.

		Contact: Kim Claire, Young Adult Librarian 978-468-5577 x14 kclaire@mvlc.org
		This pastel painting workshop is designed for adults and teens, both sheer beginners to advanced participants who want to paint expressively. Maichack, a faculty member of the Springfield Museum Studio School, will explain exciting Post Impressionist concepts and then start you off by sharing a fearless approach to drawing. You will then find it effortless to work in tandem with the artist expressively drawing Starry Night with white charcoal pencils on black paper. Also, van Gogh’s painting Terrace of a Café at Night (Place du Forum) will be explored and displayed in a large format to paint from, enabling further mastery of van Gogh’s unique vision. A demo of pastel handling techniques that allow a command of edges, scumbling, blending, slurring, and layering, and a demonstration of various strokes will fully illustrate van Gogh’s successful expressive methods. You will develop your own pastel paintings while understanding decorative qualities such as energetic line and bold color. This workshop includes all materials: Indigo paper, white charcoal pencils, black paper, Rembrandt soft pastels, Nupastels, French and English pastel pencils, assorted colored mid-toned Canson pastel paper and other materials. Class size is limited to 30. To attend please register at the Reference desk on the 2nd floor of the Library, or call 978-468-5577. Click to see all the of the teen summer programs at the Library

		Come join the discussion of the book "Defending Jacob" by William Landay. For the past twenty years, Andy Barber has been a happily married, respected assistant D.A. in a small Massachusetts town. Within weeks, his professional situation and marriage crumble under the pressure of a case involving the stabbing murder of a teenager. Barber's suspicions originally focus on a neighborhood pedophile, but before long, damaging evidence mounts that incriminates Jacob, his own 14-year-old son. Caught between desperation, loyalty, and instinct, the tenacious prosecutor struggles to make sense of disturbing revelations. Already a Dagger Award winner, William Landay's Defending Jacobs brilliantly combines the best features of a gripping psychological thriller, a realistic courtroom drama, and a moving portrait of a family in meltdown. A copy of this book may be picked up at the library the 2nd week in August. Bring your lunch and beverage and dessert will be provided.

		Come join the discussion of the book "Day after night" by Anita Diamant. Just as she gave voice to the silent women of the Hebrew Bible in The Red Tent, Anita Diamant creates a cast of breathtakingly vivid characters—young women who escaped to Israel from Nazi Europe—in this intensely dramatic novel. Day After Night is based on the extraordinary true story of the October 1945 rescue of more than two hundred prisoners from the Atlit internment camp, a prison for “illegal” immigrants run by the British military near the Mediterranean coast south of Haifa. The story is told through the eyes of four young women at the camp who survived the Holocaust: Shayndel, a Polish Zionist; Leonie, a Parisian beauty; Tedi, a hidden Dutch Jew; and Zorah, a concentration camp survivor. Haunted by unspeakable memories and losses, afraid to hope, the four of them find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience even as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves in a strange new country. Diamant’s triumphant novel is an unforgettable story of tragedy and redemption that reimagines a singular moment in history with stunning eloquence. Copies of the book will be available during October's meeting. Bring your lunch and beverage and dessert will be provided.

		Come join the discussion of the book "Noah's compass" by Anne Tyler. "Noah's Compass is a wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a schoolteacher, who has been forced to retire at sixty-one, coming to terms with the final phase of his life." "Liam Pennywell, who set out to be a philosopher and ended up teaching fifth grade, never much liked the job at that run-down private school, so early retirement doesn't bother him. But he is troubled by his inability to remember anything about the first night that he moved into his new, spare, and efficient condominium on the outskirts of Baltimore. All he knows when he wakes up the next day in the hospital is that his head is sore and bandaged." His effort to recover the moments of his life that have been stolen from him leads him on an unexpected detour. What he needs is someone who can do the remembering for him. What he gets is - well, something quite different. Copies of the book will be available during November's meeting. Bring your lunch and beverage and dessert will be provided.
