This Saturday, see BLKBOK perform with a cultural twist on classical music - his name says it all. Then on Sunday, words are music to your ears. Enjoy an afternoon of poetry and an open mic with the New England Poetry Club at Westwood Public Library.
There's also children's programming at the Needham Public Library - just register and your child can become a pirate for an hour, led by the R.I. Pirate Guy.
On both Saturday and Sunday, take an opportunity to be kind to the earth with a WEAC styrofoam recycling event.
