Calling all Heated Rivalry fans! Join the Morrill Memorial Library 
for this fun and informative talk between Prof. Masha Raskolnikov and 
Cashman Kerr Prince, on Monday, June 8 at 6:30 pm, just
 in time for Pride Month! This event will be a hybrid format, so you can
 choose to attend in-person in the library's Simoni Room or join 
virtually via Zoom.
Who’s Ilya? Shane? Why are we talking about fictional gay hockey players?
Join us for a discussion of Heated Rivalry - the book series and the 
show. We’ll talk about what’s going on in this fictional universe and 
what our cultural obsession with it says about our universe today. There
 will be spoilers but hopefully our commentary will make them 
worthwhile. Come prepared for a fun and lively - maybe even scrappy! - 
discussion.
About our speakers:&nbsp; Norwood resident Cashman Kerr Prince
 can be found knitting through Town Meeting, involved with the Norwood 
Historical Society (where he currently serves as President), or walking 
his dog around town. While his cultural criticism usually focuses on 
music, he is excited to have this opportunity to talk about literature, 
popular culture, and arts more broadly to the library audience!&nbsp;
Masha Raskolnikov is not a Norwood Resident but is a
 fan of Norwood. She lives in Ithaca, NY, where she teaches English 
literature, including queer and trans fiction, at Cornell University. 
Like Cashman, she is often to be seen walking her dog around town. Like 
Ilya in Heated Rivalry, she hails from Russia and like Shane from Heated
 Rivalry, she is Canadian. Lately, she's been doing research and 
teaching about how books and media deemed "escapist" or "a waste of 
time" actually help us to survive.
Registration is required; please fill out the form on our library's online events calendar, norwoodlibrary.org/morrillcalendar. When 
registering you can let us know if you'd like to attend in-person at the
 Morrill Memorial Library, or virtually via Zoom. Please contact the 
Reference Desk at 781-769-0200 x2 for more information or for help 
signing up. Thanks to the Friends of the Library for generously funding 
this program.

The Morrill Memorial Library, in partnership with First 
Congregational Church in Norwood, are thrilled to bring our 2026 
Artist-in-Residence to the Norwood community. Join Jorge Santiago Arce 
for a unique exploration and celebration of Puerto Rican and 
Afro-Caribbean music and culture this Spring in three separate events! All events in the series will be hosted in Pingree Hall at the First Congregational Church.
Our third event will be a Plena Dance Workshop on Wednesday, June 17 from 6:30-7:30pm.&nbsp;
No experience is required for this class made for beginners! Arrive 
in clothing meant for movement and everything else will be provided. 
Plena is a traditional Afro-Puerto dance that has been evolving since 
the beginning of the 20th century. The Plena dance Workshop is a unique 
opportunity for participants to learn traditional steps of this dance 
from Puerto Rico in a very friendly and easy fashion. Students will 
learn to appreciate the connection of this Afro-Puerto Rican dance with 
contemporary movements like hip-hop. This workshop is recommended for 
adults and teens.
About the artist: Jorge Arce is a master percussionist, 
educator, singer, dancer and actor from Puerto Rico, and an icon in the 
Latin music scenes in Boston and Puerto Rico. He leads the groups Jorge 
Arce &amp; Humano, Bombazo Boricua and Raíz de Plena, performing his 
original arrangements of traditional Puerto Rican Bomba and Plena music 
and dance. His one-person show, the Afro-Caribbean Workshop, has been 
presented throughout the US and Puerto Rico since 1987 in theaters, 
libraries, schools and community events. In addition to numerous awards 
for excellence, cultural recognition, and lifetime achievement, Jorge 
also holds a Masters in Education from Harvard University.
Registration is required for this and all events in our Artist-in-Residence series. To sign up for the Bomba Dance Workshop, please follow the link to the library's online events calendar, norwoodlibrary.org, or call the Reference Desk at 781-769-0200 x2.
Ample parking is available at the First Congregational Church; an 
accessible entrance with a ramp is available from the back parking lot. 
Participants parking at the library will need to cross Winter St to 
reach the First Congregational Church.
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Norwood 
Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by Mass Cultural 
Council, a state agency, and the Town of Norwood. Additional funding is 
being provided by the Library Endowment Fund.

Calling all crafty folk - the event you’ve been waiting for all year has nearly arrived! The Sewstainability StashShare will take place on Saturday, August 22 from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM in the Morrill Memorial Library's Simoni Room!
Yes, we call it “Share” because that is what we do. No money changing hands, no trades to be made. Just bring what you have in your too-big stash of crafting and sewing equipment and materials during our drop-off dates (Thursday, August 20 from 6:00-8:45 pm or Friday, August 21 from 10:00am-4:00pm).
We sort and arrange all the supplies on tables, and then during the event we “shop,” taking home things we think we might use for ourselves. There is always an abundance, and a lot of people join in. Bring a bag when you come, because you’ll find some things you can’t resist!
People from Norwood and adjacent towns are all welcomed.
We need help carrying supplies to and from the library! Even an hour of your time would be an enormous help. If you are able to help transport from our storage in advance on Thursday evening, please let Marg know at: macch251210@verizon.net.
