Create a character! Fight monsters! Make your own luck! Develop your skills in this fantasy role-playing system with other kids just like you.

Each player will only attend once a week on either Wednesday or Thursday; your slot will be assigned by the library based on your availability, experience, and other factors. The club is spread across two days to accommodate as many members as possible and follows the Dobbs Ferry Schools calendar for vacations and days off. Please only sign up if you think you can attend most of the meetings.

Registration is required via this Google form. You are not registered until a librarian contacts you with confirmation and scheduling details. This program is full but you can still sign up for the waitlist.

Questions? Participants aged 8-12 can email children’s librarian Gina at childrens@dobbsferrylibrary.org, and participants aged 13-18 can email teen librarian Alex at teens@dobbsferrylibrary.org.

• Awaken the various forms of intelligence beyond just logical intelligence.
• Learn why Emotional Intelligence is crucial for both personal and professional success.
• Enhance your natural confidence and leadership skills by understanding and developing your innate form of intelligence.

Why does this matter? Many struggle with hidden insecurities and self-doubt due to society’s emphasis on logical intelligence. Inspired by Howard Gardner’s work on multiple intelligences, Jen discovered that her childhood feelings of inadequacy stemmed from evaluating herself against just one form. Hitting rock bottom in her late 20s led her to recognize her strengths in other intelligences, transforming her self-esteem and success. Now, Jen is dedicated to helping others uncover their unique intelligence, overcome self-doubt, and live with authority in all aspects of their lives. Her passion is to empower people to awaken, own, and value their true selves.

About Jen: Jen has been a Leadership and Embodiment Coach and Educator for 30+ years, helping people unlock their unique intelligence to live confident and fully expressed lives.

We’ll be looking at Ambrose Bierce’s An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart, and their film adaptations to explore the power of both mediums, the written word and the cinematic image, and the difficulties encountered in transferring the written word to the big screen.
