Crowell
Public Library is excited to be partnering with the Chinese Club of San Marino
to present free workshops on the first and second Wednesdays of the month from
10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, beginning September 5 and 12 with Mahjong. Developed in China many years ago, Mahjong is
a tile-based game that has become very popular all over the world and
online. But there is nothing like
playing in person, making new friends and learning new strategies.
In October, health will be
the focus, starting with Western Medicine and Health Care on October 3, and the
following Wednesday, October 10, with Traditional Herbal Medicine and Health
Care. November and December Wednesdays
will explore the Chinese Arts of Paper Cutting, Dough Figurines, Handcrafted
Knots and Calligraphy.
Founded in 1979, the Chinese Club of San Marino is a social
and service club that serves the entire community, promoting communication,
understanding, respect and appreciation among all ethnic groups in San
Marino. Due to their generous support,
Crowell Library has an outstanding Chinese language collection that is highly
circulated. The Club operates as a civic
league to promote and support Chinese culture, arts, and education, and has sponsored
the San Marino Chinese School since its inception.
These workshops are open to
all, but registration is required. Just
call or visit the adult reference desk at the library. Start your Fall with some fun and
enlightenment at Crowell Public Library, courtesy of the San Marino Chinese
Club.
