MEDICARE CAN BE CONFUSING. WE'RE HERE TO HELP.Monday, May 4, 2 pm Community RoomMedicare Supplement vs. Medicare Advantage? Which is Best for Me?
This is the number one question most people have. This 45-minute session explores the key differences between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans using real-life case studies and helpful resources. It’s valuable for those new to Medicare and for current members who can make changes during annual enrollment periods. The Medicare Outreach Team at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts helps people understand Medicare through our free educational programs. For over 20 years, we have partnered with communities across the state, and we continue to see a strong, positive response from library patrons.

Readers' Group - Morning Edition
Thursday, May 7, 11:00 am
Community Room During the Second World War, two Jewish sisters -- Janny and Lien Brilleslijper -- ran one of the largest hideaways in the Netherlands: The High Nest, a villa in the Gooi area. While the last remaining Jews are being hunted in the Netherlands, the lives of dozens of hideaways kept going for better or for worse, right under the noses of their National Socialist neighbors. Eventually, the nest is exposed, and the Brilleslijper family is put on one of the last transports to Auschwitz, along with the (Anne) Frank family. Roxane's novelistic eye, combined with her rigorous research, results in a hugely compelling portrayal of courage, treason, and human resilience. Looking ahead to the June 4 meeting, the group will discuss My Friends by Fredrik Backman. |

Hamnet This month, we will screen Hamnet, Rated PG-13 (1 hours, 25 minutes) Based on the book by Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet is a story of love and loss. William Shakespeare falls for the free-spirited Agnes. Their whirlwind romance leads to marriage and three children, but as Will's theatrical ambitions draw him to London, Agnes remains behind to manage the household. When tragedy strikes, their bond is deeply tested - but through grief and resilience, their journey inspires the creation of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. Movie Matinee is for Ages 18 +. Bring a covered beverage if you like. |
