At the library this week: a career coach bus, gravestones, and mah jongg

Three worth-your-time events at the Brookfield Library this week, straight from the calendar:

Tonight: Mah Jongg evening session, 6:00–8:00 PM, Community Room. The library's regular mah jongg gathering for players of all levels. Registration is required — and if you missed the sign-up window, check whether a waitlist is open before heading over.

Tuesday: Career Coach Workshop — Tips for Resume and Cover Letter, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM, library parking lot. The American Job Center Southwest's mobile Career Coach bus pulls into the library lot at 182 Whisconier Road. Job seekers can get hands-on help with resumes and cover letters — useful whether you are actively hunting or just thinking about what's next. For adults; registration required.

Wednesday: Reading the Stones — Gravestone Detective Workshop, 5:00–6:00 PM, Community Room. Cemetery archaeologist Katie Pulham leads a hands-on workshop on reading old gravestones — the symbolism, the carving styles, the stories etched in stone. Pulham has documented more than 14,000 Connecticut gravestones, so this one comes with real expertise and a strong Brookfield history angle. Free. (There is a Thursday "Tombstones for Teens" companion session for younger history detectives.)
