Bob is back!

One of the Library’s most popular events, Trivia Happy Hour with Bob DeStefano as emcee, returns on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 5 p.m. as contestants compete for fun and bragging rights.

The Shelter Island Book Club meets virtually on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 5 p.m. to discuss Anne Tyler’s “Redhead by the Side of the Road.” It’s the story of Micah Mortimer’s carefully organized life thrown off-kilter when his woman friend tells him she’s facing eviction and a teenager shows up claiming to be his son. Told with Ms. Tyler’s signature wit, this is a funny, compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes.

Skirting the rules: reinvention for women 50+ is a self-discovery workshop led by Deborah Burns on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 11 a.m. Attendees will take an assessment before the event and bring the results to the session.

Tai Chi is offered by instructor Denise Gillies on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 7, 14, 21, 28 and Nov. 4 and 18. An ancient Chinese practice often called moving meditation, its easy-to-follow fluid movements will improve balance, flexibility, concentration and vitality.
