We’ll have stations to visit and a few ongoing projects. See the cause and effect of water, grease, food, and light on paper. Some questions we hope to answer- What happens to muffin wrappers? What causes paper to fade? Why does paper turn brown? We’ll have experiments that will help us answer these questions.
-

2 events,Artist's Statement: I have an affinity for abstract expressionism, its use of gesture, the energy and spontaneity, the color fields and graphics that suggest the landscape. In equal measure, I have always been struck by our need to slice, dice and structure the world around us from our gridded cities to the geometry we impose/compose on farm fields. The Field Study and As If Series revolve around this relationship - the character of the organic and the equally relentless human desire for structure and design. All pieces are displayed on the second level of the library and are for sale to the public. A portion of the proceeds benefit Tilton Library.

Third Thursday is an informal group, open to all, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online. Summary "Catherine and Oliver, young wife and older entrepreneurial husband, are negotiating their difference in age and a plethora of well-concealed secrets. Oliver, now in his sixties, is a serial adulterer and has just fallen giddily in love yet again. Catherine, seemingly placid and content, has ghosts of a past she scarcely remembers. When Catherine's long-forgotten high school friend dies and leaves Catherine the guardian of her teenage daughter, that past comes rushing back. As Oliver manages his new love, and Catherine her new charge and darker past, local news reports turn up the volume on a serial killer who has reappeared after years of quiet" --Publisher description.

3 events,What if everyone in Deerfield read the same book? Reading great books prompts us to think about ourselves, our environment and our relationships. Talking about books with friends, family and neighbors often adds a richness and depth to the reading experience. We hope you will read and enjoy "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash" by former western Mass. resident Edward Humes and - talk about it with your friends and neighbors - attend the book discussion and related programs listed on this calendar and at Tilton Library - meet new people and share ideas - read more for pleasure and encourage your children to do so "The real secret at the heart of Garbology may well be the potential for a happy ending buried in our landfill. Waste, Humes writes, is the one environmental and economic harm that ordinary working Americans have the power to change - and prosper in the process." All programs are free and open to the public. Events include: STEM workshops for kids; Worm Bin Workshop; Lou's Upcycling Workshop; Mobile Art; Book Art Workshop; Book Discussion, Eat It Up Food Challenge; Highway 91 Talk. Watch this calendar for a complete listing of dates and times. Program length: February 16-March 28, 2016. This project made possible with funds provided by: a grant from the Deerfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; Friends of Tilton Library; Greenfield Cooperative Bank; Greenfield Savings Bank and private donations from library users.
