BabyKneads (Virtual)
Thursdays, Oct. 8, 15, 22, 29, 10:30-11:15 a.m.
Baby sign language (BabyKneads) with Sheryl White is for children from 2 months to about pre-verbal. Children must be available to attend all four sessions. This is a Zoom class, and registration is required. Sign up by clicking on the BabyKneads Oct. 8 event on the library’s website calendar, which will automatically register the child for all four classes.

Chat ’n’ Chew Lunchtime Book Group (Virtual)
Wednesday, Oct. 14, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
For those missing their book club, the library offers the virtual Chat ’n’ Chew book group. Instead of assigning a book for all participants to read, each person reviews something they read this month. All reviews of the books then will be posted to Facebook to share with the Hopkinton reading community. The group will meet virtually using Jit.si meet. Fill out a registration form at forms.gle/EVX5319vksKV7UFq6. On the day of the meeting, registrants will be invited by email to join.
