Whether in a notebook, blog or sketchpad, journaling can help you lead a more fulfilling life as you record life events; formulate and track goals; jot down dreams; overcome obstacles; process emotions; and much more.
Award-winning Author Janine De Tillio Cammarata covers different aspects of journaling throughout four sessions, beginning Friday, Sept. 9, at 10:30 a.m. No prior experience is needed; participants are urged to attend all four sessions at the library. Registration is limited – please sign up on the Events tab of guilderlandlibrary.org, and bring a pen and journal to each class.
The Power of Plus
Journalist Gianluca Russo, author of the critically-acclaimed book The Power of Plus: Inside Fashion’s Size-Inclusivity Revolution (and also a Guilderland High School alum), will be here Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 6:30 p.m. to talk about his book with moderator and Times Union journalist Steve Barnes. Over the past three decades, plus-size fashionistas have created a market worth more than 21 billion dollars. The Power of Plus follows the evolution of the plus-size fashion boom, examining how female body image has shifted, and how plus-size fashion is integral to the future success of the industry. No registration is required – all are welcome!
Night Owls
Book Club
Our September meeting on Monday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 p.m. will be a hybrid format: in-person, with option to join via Zoom. This month, we’re reading The Vanishing Half, by Brit Bennett. This story centers on twin sisters growing up in a southern black community, who ultimately choose two very different worlds: one black, one white. Spanning 1950s Deep South to 1990s California, The Vanishing Half explores why people sometimes choose to live counter to their origins. Copies are available at the library’s Information Desk. Please register on the Events tab of guilderlandlibrary.org.
