Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world.  Mahjong enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish.  Players with mahjong sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan. This program is free, ongoing and open to players from all communities.

Jane Kenyon, born on May 23, 1947, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, earned her BA in 1970 and MA in 1972 from the University of Michigan, where she met and married poet Donald Hall. She published four poetry books, including Constance (1993) and Let Evening Come (1990), and a translation of Twenty Poems of Anna Akhmatova (1985). In 1981, she received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. In 1993, she and Hall were featured in the Emmy Award-winning documentary A Life Together. She was named New Hampshire's poet laureate in 1995. Her work often reflects themes of love, loss, and spirituality, resonating with quiet intensity. Through her poignant and accessible verse, Kenyon captures the beauty and struggles of ordinary existence, making her poetry both relatable and profound.
