Climate change is the number one existential threat to humanity and the planet, but some communities are more vulnerable than others. Where does social justice and climate change overlap?

Just beginning to read chapter books? Then, check out this virtual book club of "Branches" titles. These beginner books have vibrant illustrations and fun characters. Each month we will focus on a different book series and complete a STEM activity. Make sure you register to save your spot. Then, we will send you an email to arrange a pickup time for your copy of this month's book (to keep!) and the supplies for the STEM activity.
This month's book is "Press Start - Game Over, Super Rabbit Boy" by Thomas Flintham and the activity is a build-your-own chain reaction set.

Then, you can show-off your chain reaction design during the Zoom meeting. Camera and microphone required to fully use Zoom, but you can turn off the camera and mute the mic if you prefer.
Recommended for Ages 5-8

Join a community of 25 public libraries from across the state to welcome Michael Twitty, as he discusses his book, The Cooking Gene, the 2018 James Beard Foundation's Book of the Year Award-winner. Massachusetts-based chef and author (and huge Michael Twitty fan), Chef Bill, will facilitate this event's discussion.
African American culinary historian Michael Twitty found there was a giant hole in the story of American cooking and in the story of most African American families. In this unique memoir, Michael starts to trace his family history through the story of Southern and American food. Using genetic research, historic interpretation, nature study, heirloom gardening, and interviews with contemporary voices in food, his journey led him back to his family’s origins in West and Central Africa and put him center stage in the discussion over race and food in American life through his popular food blog, Afroculinara.
As 25 town libraries are collaborating to make this event possible (with the expected correspondingly sized audience), we will be utilizing two viewing modes: Zoom webinar and livestreaming through NewTV, to ensure everyone will be able to view the event at the same time.
Please note, registration will close 2 hours prior to this event.
For more information about Michael Twitty, visit afroculinaria.com. For more information on Chef Bill, visit chefbill.com
Sponsored by the Groton Public Library Endowment Trust.
The Groton Public Library will be running the Zoom webinar, and is managing registrations. Please register through the Groton Public Library website.
