He has also shared the stage with artists as diverse as Warren Zevon and Mose Allison, and his music has been featured in film projects and numerous ads. Craig is known for his wry humor and ironic take on life. An accomplished songwriter, he will be hosting a workshop on songwriting at 1:00 PM in the afternoon on the day of the concert.

For those interested in taking part in the songwriting workshop, there is a $45.00 charge, which includes admission to the evening concert as well.
Beating Holiday Stress--And Stress In General
We had a great turnout last March when we ran a program featuring Life and Wellness Coach Denise Lewis. She will be rejoining us on November 14 at 7:00 PM in the Library Annex with a program on "Beating Holiday Stress." Do you dread the upcoming holidays more than you look forward to them? This program may be just right for you.
In this workshop you will learn how to avoid and reduce stress to prepare yourself for the hectic holidays that are upon us. Denise will show you ways to encourage relaxation and improve your health by learning to change your thoughts and behaviors and through simple breathing and stretching exercises (any level), meditation instruction with progressive muscle relaxation, a guided visualization, and a journaling session.
And of course, the program will have more general applications in the area of stress reduction as well.
Art Exhibit Featuring Local Artist Tatiana Rhinevault
Our good friend and neighbor Tatiana Rhinevault will be the featured artist for November and December in the Library Annex. Tatiana's masterful works will be complemented by several efforts by her talented young son Peter. This exhibit will be a unique one in many ways, not the least in being a joint mother-son project.
The exhibit will be available whenever the Annex is open for office hours or whenever the " Book Nook" bookstore is open. (Please check at the circulation desk for our weekly schedules.)
