This group will foster a community of makers interested in lifelong learning and creativity. The small group will learn a variety of skills through demonstrations, collaboration, and a community-building of makers helping makers to be able to make more things in our Innovators' Workshop Makerspace.

Join us for this Virtual Book Chat about Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng. This book discussion is a collaboration with the Simsbury High School “Make Us Count” documentary project highlighting Asian American &amp; Pacific Islander experiences. Copies of the book are available digitally on Libby or physically at the Circulation Desk. All are welcome. Please register for Zoom link.&nbsp;
Synopsis: “Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet.” So begins this exquisite novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

Brain Restore Centers is a nationwide initiative, lead by experts across every medical speciality to finally tackle the problem of concussion, brain injury and cognitive decline rapidly increasing across our country. While Brain Injury and Cognitive Decline is on the rise in our country, our clinic is offering Free Advanced FDA-approved RightEye Exam to all Connecticut residents in an attempt to help give people in our communities a detailed deep dive into understanding the “WHY” behind what they are experiencing. Many members of our communities silently struggle with lingering symptoms of head injuries, PTSD, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and memory loss, and we want to give back by providing hope and help through real, science-backed brain health solutions. This community is part of a nationwide initiative supported locally to raise awareness about the brain’s ability to heal through modern therapies such as neurofeedback EEG detailed functional brain scan, low-level laser therapy, Neuro-rehabilitation Exercises, and neuro-functional medicine. We have been optimizing this treatment system over the last 10 years and are so grateful to finally be able to share it with our communities and loved ones. https://brainrestorecenters.com/ 49 Randolph Rd, Middletown, Connecticut 860-365-9445 info@trilogyhnp.com
