This month we will be reading The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the quest to colonize the cosmos by Christian Davenport. Contact the Library to reserve your copy today.
“Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, The Space Barons is the ultimate drama of risk and adventure. It is also a classic story of rivals--hard-charging startups warring with established contractors and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.” - from the cover.
Participants are encouraged to enjoy a lunch or snack from our generous host, The Village Trestle, during the discussion. No registration required.
Conversations are casual and nonacademic with room for all opinions. Everyone is welcome, teens and adults!

Experience firsthand the science that rocked the western world!
The Starry Messenger, presented by Michael Francis, is a dramatic, fun-filled adaptation of Galileo’s short treatise "Siderius Nuncius." Galileo (dressed in 17th-century costume) arrives to present a public lecture on his most recent discoveries made using his newly-devised spyglass. As he describes those discoveries, Galileo’s new method of observation and measurement of nature become apparent. After the lecture, Galileo will answer questions about his experiments, his life, and his times.
This program was made possible by a generous grant from the New Hampshire Humanities.
