SUMMARY:Road Safety Audit Forum: School Street
DESCRIPTION:A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal safety performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection\, conducted by an independent\, multidisciplinary team. It qualitatively assesses and reports on potential road safety issues and identifies opportunities to improve safety for all road users. \nThe aim of an RSA is to answer the following questions: \n\nWhat elements of the road may present a safety concern— to what extent\, to which road users\, and under what circumstances?\nWhat opportunities exist to eliminate or mitigate identified safety concerns?\n\nPlease join us for a Public Forum to discuss School Street. We’d like to hear your input on road safety issues and potential opportunities for improvement along the roadway.

SUMMARY:First Connections: Helping parents understand and manage challenging behaviors in young children
DESCRIPTION:A free live webinar will be held on Wednesday\, May 14 at 7 p.m.  \nOur speakers will be Lynn St. Germaine\, an Infant-Toddler teacher for 37 years\, and Patricia Collins\, a preschool teacher for 25 years\, from Concord Children’s Center.  \nYoung children often act out for various reasons such as hunger\, tiredness\, frustration\, confusion\, or difficulty transitioning between activities. At times\, they may not have the words to express what they need\, leading to outbursts and meltdowns. These behaviors are not random-they signal underlying needs or developmental challenges\, like unmet emotional needs\, underdeveloped communication skills or lack of self-regulation. By understanding the root causes of challenging behaviors\, parents can respond more effectively and support their children’s emotional and social development. By attending this program\, you will gain an understanding of why children act out\, and learn strategies that might include creating predictable routines\, reinforcing positive behaviors\, and using calm and consistent responses to guide the children through emotional ups and downs.  \nTo receive the Zoom link for this FREE program email First Connections: lmatthews@jri.org.

SUMMARY:Library: West Acton Citizens' Library Book Disscussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Location: West Acton Citizens’ Library | 21 Windsor Avenue\, Acton MA 01720 \nThe Personal Librarian By: Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray \nIn her twenties\, Belle da Costa Greene is hired by J. P. Morgan to curate a collection of rare manuscripts\, books\, and artwork for his newly built Pierpont Morgan Library. Belle becomes a fixture on the New York society scene and one of the most powerful people in the art and book world\, known for her impeccable taste and shrewd negotiating for critical works as she helps build a world-class collection. \nBut Belle has a secret\, one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener\, the first Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. Belle’s complexion isn’t dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage that lets her pass as white—her complexion is dark because she is African American. \nThe Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary woman\, famous for her intellect\, style\, and wit\, and shares the lengths to which she must go—for the protection of her family and her legacy—to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives. \nCopies of the book will be available at the West Acton Citizens’ Library. \nReasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. Please email actadultservices@minlib.net with a description of the accommodation you will need and include a way we can contact you if we need more information.
