It's a rainy day, but there's plenty to do if you want to get involved, learn something new, or just enjoy a new novel.

4. Tonight, the Coolidge Corner SouthSide Neighborhood Association, Lawrence Neighborhood Association and the North Brookline Neighborhood Association are all meeting to Discuss the future of Coolidge Corner.
