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.

    West Side Story

    Concord Center takes justifiable pride in its history, but today great things are happening in West Concord. Innovation and self-reliance are nothing new on the west side of Route 2; they’ve defined the community for centuries.

    Established for Social & Mutual Improvement: The Concord Lyceum

    The Lyceum Movement started in New England in 1826, when educator and scientist Josiah Holbrook founded the first lyceum in Millbury, Massachusetts. Inspired by the classical Lykeios (Λύκειος) in Ancient Greece, where Aristotle taught, the movement was created to bring education to ordinary people through lectures, debates, and readings. Lyceums quickly spread across New England, fostering education, self-improvement, and civic engagement, and many towns soon formed lyceums of their own, including Boston in 1829 and Salem in 1830. By the 1830s, there were Lyceums across the country.
