SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Communicating About Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Event Location: Zoom Webinar.\n\nRegistration link: https://bit.ly/34Qzpy7\n  \nEver try to communicate something that’s really important to someone and you just don’t know how to get them to listen — let alone get them to take action? It’s climate change. It’s real. It’s all around us. It’s not political. And it requires action. Take action in joining our panelists for The Fundamentals of Communicating About Climate Change event in which we will delve into topics together such as: framing language that leads to successful connections in communication\, how education around climate change exists currently in our lives & communities and how it can be improved upon\, and how to spark communication into action in others as well as within ourselves. Tired of unsuccessful communication around climate change? We are too. Let’s learn together about how to talk about it right.  \n  \n**our event is a FREE virtual event in which we encourage absolutely anyone & everyone who is interested in these topics to attend!  \n  \nEvent Panelists:  \nRishya Narayanan from Mass Audubon  \nSimone C. from Spring Forward  \nFrida G. from Spring Forward  \nLindsay Jordan from National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI) & the New England Aquarium  \nDr. Julia Colwell from the University of New Hampshire’s Natural Resources and the Environment Department  \n  \nEvent Moderator:  \nIsabella Luca from Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) \n  \nAny further questions?

Nelson\, author of 2019 book Flight Calls: Exploring Massachusetts through Birds.\n\n\nJohn writes\, “In search of birds I’ve gone further and further afield\, first to birdy spots around Massachusetts…next cross-country to the Rio Grande and saguaro deserts\, then beyond to whole new families of birds in Belize\, Brazil\, Botswana\, Bhutan\, and Borneo….The more time I spend with birds\, the more they’ve become sources of stimulation\, not just visual treats or searches rewarded.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL THIRD THURSDAY BOOK GROUP: This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel
DESCRIPTION:When Rosie and Penn and their four boys welcome the newest member of their family\, no one is surprised it’s another baby boy. At least their large\, loving\, chaotic family knows what to expect. But Claude is not like his brothers. One day he puts on a dress and refuses to take it off. He wants to bring a purse to kindergarten. He wants hair long enough to sit on. When he grows up\, Claude says\, he wants to be a girl. Rosie and Penn aren’t panicked at first. Kids go through phases\, after all\, and make-believe is fun. But soon the entire family is keeping Claude’s secret. Until one day it explodes.\n\nThis Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations\, transformations\, fairy tales\, and family. And it’s about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again; parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts; children grow but not always according to plan.\n\nPlease email the library at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org to get the Zoom link a few days before the event.\n  \nBooks available at the Tilton – call or email for a copy to check out on your account.\n

SUMMARY:NEA Big Read Station Eleven Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.\n\nNEA Big Read: Pocumtuck Valley is sponsored by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association.\n\n\n\nThis series is funded in part by the Friends of Tilton Library.\n\nNEA Big Read: Pocumtuck Valley in partnership with Libraries in the Woods sponsors this discussion of Station Eleven as part of a two month long series of discussions and related programs at 20+ local libraries. Click here for a full listing: https://deerfield-ma.org/nea-big-read-pocumtuck-valley/ \n\n\nEMAIL TILTONLIBRARY@CWMARS.ORG FOR ZOOM LINK TO THIS BOOK DISCUSSION.\n\n\nEmily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel is set in a dystopian post-pandemic world. Now that we’re experiencing an actual pandemic\, the NEA Big Read of this fictional story provides an opportunity for local communities to discuss our real pandemic experience\, as well as the role the arts play in our lives (a central theme in Station Eleven).\n\nA National Book Award Finalist\nA PEN/Faulkner Award Finalist\nKirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander\, the famous Hollywood actor\, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city\, and within weeks\, civilization as we know it came to an end.\nTwenty years later\, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony\, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water\, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off\, moving back and forth in time\, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic\, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.
