The Quincy family had a great impact on the birth of nation, producing three mayors of Boston, a president of Harvard, and so much more. Come learn about Josiah Quincy Jr.'s role in the American Revolution. A defense attorney for the British following the Boston Massacre (arguing against his older brother, Samuel as the prosecuting attorney), Josiah later helped establish inter-colonial Committees of Correspondence, which lay the groundwork for the meeting of the First Continental Congress. He died on a return visit from a mission to Great Britain to retrieve information to assist the colonies. Come to the program to learn more about his fascinating but brief life from Janet Uhlar, an author of two historical accounts of the American Revolution and a work of fiction based on her research about Whitey Bulger.

An accompanying walking tour of the Josiah Quincy House and surrounding neighborhood will take place on Saturday, July 27.

In The Public, an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. The story revolves around the library patrons, many of whom are homeless, mentally ill and marginalized, as well as an exhausted and overwhelmed staff of librarians who often act as "de-facto social workers" and care for those regular patrons. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening inside the building.

The film is often entertaining, with some nice touches and compelling moments. --Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com

Directed by Emilio Estevez. Genre: Drama. Starring Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater, Derek Polen, Emilio Estevez, Gabrielle Union, Jacob Vargas, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, John Newsom, Ki Hong Lee, Michael Kenneth Williams, Richard T.

In The Public, an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. The story revolves around the library patrons, many of whom are homeless, mentally ill and marginalized, as well as an exhausted and overwhelmed staff of librarians who often act as "de-facto social workers" and care for those regular patrons. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening inside the building.

The film is often entertaining, with some nice touches and compelling moments. --Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com

Directed by Emilio Estevez. Genre: Drama.

This month, we’ll be discussing Hilo: the Boy Who Crashed to Earth by Judd Winick.

OOM! CLANG! CRASH! D.J. and Gina are totally ordinary kids. But Hilo isn't!  Hilo just fell out of the sky and doesn’t know where he came from, or what he’s doing on Earth. (Or why going to school in only your underwear is a BAD idea!) . . . But UH-OH, what if Hilo wasn’t the only thing to fall to our planet? Can the trio unlock the secrets of Hilo's past? Can Hilo SURVIVE a day at school?

This discussion group meets one Friday per month and focuses on world literature. New participants are always welcome.

This month we will be discussing  The Discreet Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa.

Pick up your copy of the book at the Main Library checkout desk.

This is a book group for children who have completed grades 2 and 3.

This month we will be reading Flat Stanley in Space by Jeff Brown.

The President of the United States has chosen Stanley Lambchop and his family to become the first humans to fly in the Star Scout, a new top-secret spaceship.

Stanley's most exciting adventure is about to begin. He'll meet the Queen of England, have a birthday party in outer space, and save a whole planet of aliens from danger.

Interested in joining the group? Stop by the Children’s Room to pick up a copy of the book and speak to Mrs. Miller about the program.

Using a faux canvas, work on recreating the nighttime sky.

Join us for our book club just for people in their 20s and 30s. We meet at a local bar/restaurant and discuss a variety of genres. Find more information and RSVP on our meetup.com page. 

Launch into an investigation of propulsion systems. Use the compressed air inside balloons to create thrust. We will race balloon rockets and be challenged to design a balloon-powered rocket car. 

Experimenting with the fast-moving air produced by spinning propellers, you will build a unique space copter to take home. 

For our grand finale, we will witness a thrilling model rocket launch, and learn the meticulous preparations necessary to send up a rocket!

This program is for children ages 4 and older accompanied by an adult.

Rick Riordan Presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera about thirteen-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min's mother insists that none of them use any fox magic, such as charm or shape shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds. When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power. She decides to run away to find him and clear his name.

Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee is a sci-fi adventure combined with Korean mythology that will transport you to a world far beyond your imagination.

Copies of the book will be available for pick up in the Main Library Children's Room beginning July 11, to be read before the group meets. Fourth graders who will be entering 5th grade in September 2019 are welcome to join the Phoenix Book Club this summer. We can't wait to meet you!

In partnership with the Quincy Art Association, join us on the third Thursday of the month for another film about art and artists. On April 8, 2000, Mark Hogancamp was brutally attacked outside of a bar by five men. Revived by paramedics, Mark had suffered brain damage and physical injuries so severe even his own mother didn’t recognize him. After nine days in a coma and 40 days in the hospital, Mark was discharged with little memory of his previous life. Unable to afford therapy, Mark decided to create his own. In his backyard, he built Marwencol, a 1/6th scale World War II-era town that he populated with dolls representing his friends, family and even his attackers. After a few years, Mark started documenting his miniature dramas with his camera. Through Mark’s lens, these were no longer dolls – they were living, breathing characters in an epic WWII story full of violence, jealousy, longing and revenge. And he (or rather his alter ego, Captain Hogancamp) was the hero. When Mark’s stunningly realistic photos are discovered by an art magazine, and a prestigious gallery comes calling, his homemade therapy suddenly becomes “art,” forcing Mark to make a choice between the safety of his fictional town and the real world beyond it.

This moving documentary sidesteps the usual art-world debates over the authenticity and legitimacy of outsider work; instead director Jeff Malmberg simply immerses us in Hogancamp's world, just as Hogancamp immerses himself in the title town and its horrors.--J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader

Directed by Jeff Malmberg. Genre: Documentary. Theatrically released in 2010. 83 Minutes; Not Rated.

Come to a free workshop and learn an easy, yet extremely effective, meditative yoga technique that can help reduce stress and bring a new sense of integration, balance, and well being to your life. These sessions are led by a team of experienced practitioners from Sahaja Yoga, who teach on a volunteer basis. All of Sahaja Yoga's classes are free of charge and are offered as a community service. Learn more in this QATV interview.

In July, August and the begining of September there will be limited sessions. We hope you will join us on the following dates:

• July 13 & 27
• August 3 & 17
• Weekly workshops will resume on Saturday, September 14

Sahaja Yoga sponsors free stress reduction and meditation workshops around the country, as well as in over 90 nations around the world, and currently offers meditation classes in Bedford, Boston, Salem, and Cambridge. The method of Sahaja Meditation was introduced in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who has since received numerous honors and awards for her work, including a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and a formal recognition for her contribution to humanity by the US Congress. Learn more about Sahaja Yoga on their website.

Here's what people are saying about these meditation sessions:

I love the group meditation experience, the education of the process of Sahaja Yoga meditation, the music, and the very fine instructors.

I thought it (the technique) was well explained and easy to follow.

In this panel by self-professed "geek gal" Sarah Hodge-Wetherbe, she will talk about the real science that influenced the many versions of Star Trek and the scientific breakthroughs that Star Trek helped to later inspire.

A mother (Lupita Nyong’o) and a father (Winston Duke) take their kids (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex) for an idyllic summer getaway. Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family. After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

A mother (Lupita Nyong’o) and a father (Winston Duke) take their kids (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex) for an idyllic summer getaway. Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family. After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

Learn more about Sahaja Yoga on their website.

I thought it (the technique) was well explained and easy to follow.

Between 1914 and 1923 the Ottoman government systematicly exterminated 1.5 million Armenians. Learn the history of the Armenian genocide, how the United States reacted to it, and why it is still controversial today. Despite pressure from historians, governments, social justice groups, and even the Pope, both the Turkish and United States governments refuse to admit that the Armenians were victims of a genocide.

This illustrated presentation will be presented by Ray Ajemian. Both of Ajemian’s parents are of Armenian decent and immigrated to the United States; his mother was a survivor of the genocide. Ajemian holds degrees in history specializing in the Middle East. Come learn about this controversial period in history and make sure the world does not forget.

Eighty-four offshore wind turbines rising hundres of feet above the ocean's surface and anchored about 14 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard will start spinning sometime in 2022. They 800-megawatt project will generate more than 3 million megawatt-hours of electricity, almost as much as the Pilgrim nuclear power plant before it shut down in June. And this is a down payment on the state’s goal of 3200 megawatts of offshore wind over the next 15 years. Offshore wind will be a massive, and much-needed, influx of new clean energy.

The library and the Quincy Climate Action Network, Quincy CAN are hosting a presentation by John Rogers a senior energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists so we can learn more about this influx of offshore wind power and what it will mean for our communities and our future.
