Description :

Join us for a special Walk and Talk outing on Thursday, July 17th! Our group will walk from the library to the Old Town Hall Museum. As part of Quincy’s year-long celebration of the City’s 400th Anniversary, the museum currently has over 50 large-scale historic images on display that will take visitors back to the City's 300-year-celebrations in 1925. Join us for this literal walk down memory lane!  After visiting the museum, walkers are welcome to join us on the Olmstead Lawn for watermelon and cold drinks. (Post-walk refreshments will be in the Atrium in the case of rainy weather.) Meet in front of the library (on Washington Street) at 10:00 AM. The group leaves the library at 10:15 so be sure to arrive by then! More about our weekly Walk and Talk program Led by 2 volunteer teachers, the walks start at the Quincy Library and follow different routes around Quincy Center (a maximum distance of 2 miles, walked at a slow pace). The walks are a great opportunity for English Language Learners to meet new people, enjoy casual conversation and learn about the many interesting places in Quincy Center! Longtime Quincy community members who are interested in meeting people from other cultures are very welcome to join, as well. Other information: This is a drop-in event. Registration is not required. On cold or rainy days, the walk may be canceled. Please check the library calendar before you come. The event will be marked CANCELED. Children are also welcome, but must be supervised by a caregiver at all times. Wear comfortable shoes. Questions? Please email quenglishtalk@ocln.org.
