Circe explores the concept of journeys from both an emotional and geographic lens. The Literacy Center will host an open-mic style event where students, volunteers, and the community will be invited to share presentations (in any form) about the journeys that they have undergone – whether it be a physical migration or emotional transition – which have shaped and defined their lives. Participants will be encouraged to prepare oral stories, songs, poems, or other presentations under 5 minutes and perform them via Zoom. The audience will be allowed to ask questions of the performers after each performance. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.

The Attleboro Public Library will present the NEA Big Read with calendars of events, and copies of the book, Circe by Madeline Miller, to encourage community participation. Art at the Market is an event hosted by the Attleboro Farmers Market.

This presentation will focus on the Greek hero Odysseus, or Ulysses, and examine the way he is interpreted in the writings of Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, and Dante. These canonical interpretations will be compared and contrasted with Madeline Miller’s depiction of the character in Circe.

The task of today's woman is to heal the wounded feminine that exists deep within herself and the culture.  Maureen Murdock, The Heroine's Journey.

Would you like to join me on a woman's mythic quest to heal the deep wounding of her feminine nature on a personal, cultural, and spiritual level in a supportive group of other women seekers and healers?How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you ... a place for women, where you were received and affirmed? A place where other women, perhaps somewhat older, had been affirmed before you, each in her time, affirmed, as she struggled to become more truly herself…   Judith Duerk

Pavlina Gatikova was born in the Czech Republic, yet she has been living in the United States for twenty years. She has taught ESL at the Attleboro Public Schools since 2007 and has been facilitating a monthly Attleboro Public Library Women's Journaling group for about 18 months. She's currently working on her first chapbook of poetry about her Czech roots while tending to wholeness.

Dr Guo will explain the process used to create his 37 Healing Salve. Program will include information on other complementary healing practices, such as reiki, acupuncture, and massage. A small in-person audience will be permitted. Program will also be streamed live.

Dr. Jim Guo, an acupuncturist, chiropractor, and herbalist, invented the 37 Healing salve in 2014. He formulated this salve in response to a colleague's request for a natural herbal product to help symptoms related to sports injuries. Incorporating feedback from patients and colleagues, it took more than a year to perfect the formula.

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Guo, all live attendees will receive free product samples.

LEAF SCIENCE--Why do leaves change color?

This experiment is geared toward families with kids ages 3 & up.  Leaves contain Chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll makes the leaves green and is so dominant that it covers up all the other colors in the leaves. To figure out what color a leaf would be without the dominant chlorophyll color, we can separate the colors by doing this science experiment.

Registration for materials is required for each experiment you would like to try, limited quantities are available and will be reserved for those who have registered. Once your registration has been confirmed, library staff will work with participants to set up a time to pick up their experiment materials through scheduled Curbside Pick-up. Science materials can be picked up at the library Monday-Friday during the week that experiment is featured, only at pre-scheduled times. 

To register for a  materials kit, please email attleborokids@sailsinc.org or call 508-222-7820 during the week of September 14. The last day to register and schedule a pick up time for these materials will be Saturday September 19.

The Greater Attleboro Area Suicide Prevention Coalition (GAASPC) is sponsoring "A Kitchen Table Conversation Attleboro". This grief support group is for suicide loss survivors and will be facilitated by Lisa Jo Megna Mitchell.

"Grief comes in many forms. There's no "one size fits all." The Kitchen Table Conversations are coordinated by Safe Place certified facilitators under the auspices of the Bristol County Regional Coalition for Suicide Prevention. This get-together is open to anyone 19 and over who has been impacted by the loss of a loved one/friend/co-worker, etc., who died by suicide.

This is not clinical. It's peer to peer. If you are uncomfortable coming alone - and many are - bring a friend. That's not a problem. The doors are open to anyone in need of grief support."
