Thursday, February 137:00—8:00 PMSibley HallGroton Public Library99 Main St., Groton, MA, 01450

From the moment we have teeth, someone, early in our life, fed us chocolate. From that time onward, it became a part of our lives through holidays, birthdays, celebrations, and more. Now, as we all looked for our own ways to navigate a global trauma event, chocolate sales soared. The power of chocolate to spread joy and bring comfort is more significant than ever before. From neurotransmitters and ingrained positive associations, to the all-consuming power of nostalgia, chocolate lovers will gain insight on the healing powers of chocolate and its mystical ability to connect people through time and space. Samples included! 

Made possible by the Groton Public Library Endowment Trust.

Registration for this event opens Tuesday, November 26 at 10:00 AM.
