Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Meetup

Life Story Club is a new library program designed to bring people together through the simple act of sharing stories. Each session, a staff facilitator will guide the group with a conversation prompt—something like "Tell us about a time you laughed super hard," or, "Tell us about your favorite family tradition." You are sure to be surprised and delighted by some of the stories you will hear, and get to know some funny, compassionate, and caring people! By sharing our stories, we can create a close-knit community across various experiences, backgrounds, and life stages.
And, this is a fun and low-pressure way to spend a few afternoons!
If you are interested in sharing your stories and listening to those of others, please join us! We ask that you please commit to attending each of the 6 sessions, so that our group can truly grow together.

Feeling anxious? Try coloring.

Science has shown that coloring in a mindful way can be an excellent stress reducer.

Three ways coloring calms the mind:

1. Attention flows away from ourselves
2. Repetitive motion relaxes the mind
3. Low stakes make it enjoyable

So join us in an environment designed to help you be mindfully creative!

Coloring sheets, coloring tools, calming music, and a display of mental health books to browse will be provided.

Ages 16+ only please. No artistic ability required. Feel free to bring your own supplies.
