The Songs and their Stories!

An excursion through the great songs of the 20th century and the stories that make them that much more special.

Drawing from the jazz age, through the swing era, into modern jazz, the Beatles, and beyond! Songs we love with stories, anecdotes, fun facts, and trivia, attached. 

An enjoyable time for all ages. Family friendly and interactive, covering a wide range of music and topics. Curated on the fly to target each unique audience!

Hosted by the Friends of the Meriden Library

What was Plainfield like when there were multiple t-ball, rec baseball, and Little League teams back in the 70s and 80s? Panel discussion facilitated by Jim, Rob and Bill Taylor (and others) who will share their memories and photos. Hosted by the Plainfield Historical Society.

Come and learn Spanish with your community. All ages and levels welcome! This is a preliminary planning meeting for a new conversational Spanish group at the Meriden Library. We'll discuss format preferences (all Spanish or some English, Latin American or European dialect), meeting dates, times, and frequency, and possible food contributions. If you are interested in becoming more proficient in speaking Spanish, please come!
