Chinese Club Workshops at Crowell Library

Crowell Public Library is excited to be partnering with the Chinese Club of San Marino to present free workshops on the first and second Wednesdays of the month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, beginning September 5 and 12 with Mahjong. Developed in China many years ago, Mahjong is a tile-based game that has become very popular all over the world and online. But there is nothing like playing in person, making new friends and learning new strategies.

In October, health will be the focus, starting with Western Medicine and Health Care on October 3, and the following Wednesday, October 10, with Traditional Herbal Medicine and Health Care. November and December Wednesdays will explore the Chinese Arts of Paper Cutting, Dough Figurines, Handcrafted Knots and Calligraphy.

Founded in 1979, the Chinese Club of San Marino is a social and service club that serves the entire community, promoting communication, understanding, respect and appreciation among all ethnic groups in San Marino. Due to their generous support, Crowell Library has an outstanding Chinese language collection that is highly circulated. The Club operates as a civic league to promote and support Chinese culture, arts, and education, and has sponsored the San Marino Chinese School since its inception.

These workshops are open to all, but registration is required. Just call or visit the adult reference desk at the library. Start your Fall with some fun and enlightenment at Crowell Public Library, courtesy of the San Marino Chinese Club.
