Event Description

Join filmmaker Raouf Zaki on September 27 at 2pm for a screening of his film Dream, in celebration of Blindness Awareness Month! The screening is in partnership with the Lion's Club "Seeing Is Believing" Event, which will take place on the library lawn and in the Goodwin Forum earlier that day on September 27. Film Description: Frank, an autistic man, loses his parents to COVID-19. He visits a petting zoo where he meets Daisy, a blind woman with dreams of sailing solo. Immersing himself into the world of the blind, Frank experiences how they rely on their other senses through activities such as fencing and begins to face his own fears. Daisy opens his eyes to what life is all about as he develops an app to help her, and other blind sailors, sail independently. About Raouf Zaki: Raouf Zaki, originally from Egypt and based in Massachusetts for 34 years, wrote and directed several internationally awarded independent films. Santa Claus in Baghdad, described by the New York Times as a “miracle in filmmaking” for turning Boston into Baghdad, is used in hundreds of schools in the United States with a study guide developed by Harvard University. His most recent film, Fireflies, a film without dialog and winner of the Boston Film Festival, received the Sumner Redstone award at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, a patron-supported non-profit organization.

Freedom's Way National Heritage Area is launching an exciting program you won't want to miss called "Declaring Independence: Then & Now" in more than 20 towns across Massachusetts. With two special fold-out inserts,  maps, lists of shops, and so much more, you'll want to get your copy early!

    Sons of the American Revolution: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future

    As the nation prepares for the America 250 celebrations in 2026, the meaning of patriotism feels especially resonant. Few organizations embody that spirit more fully than the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), whose members work to preserve the legacy of those who fought for American independence.  Members of the SAR are all direct descendants of someone who fought in the Revolutionary War.

    Declaring Independence: Then & Now

    Then...By the spring of 1776, the question of independence was on the minds of those living in the thirteen American colonies. The Patriots were winning the hearts and minds of many; however, for various reasons, not every colonist was in favor of breaking ties with Great Britain.  Now...The spring and summer of 2026, when the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, is a fitting moment to commit to refamiliarizing ourselves as a nation with the complexities surrounding this historical document and the process through which it was created, as well as the ideals it espouses the American people—and its government—to live up to. The Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area’s award-winning program, Declaring Independence: Then & Now provides the opportunity to do so.
