Baby Penguin Needle Felting with The Felted Bee
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

This program will require registration as space is limited. Registration will open on November 8th at 8:00 AM.

Registration is required as space is limited. For adults and teens ages 14+. No experience necessary. All materials are included, and you get to take your felting needle and foam pad home too.

Learn everything you need to know to begin needle felting with artist Jennifer McCarthy, owner of The Felted Bee. Grab a friend and learn the art of needle felting in a supportive and relaxing environment. In this beginner friendly workshop, you will learn skills and techniques specific to needle felting as well as how to make your own needle felted baby penguin.

Needle felting is a technique of using a very sharp, barbed needle to repeatedly stab into the wool to create felt. The wool becomes tangled and snarled and compressed by the needle to create various three dimensional forms. The needles that are used are special, very sharp, barbed needles. The wool gets hooked on these barbs and
compresses into itself.

About the artist: Jennifer McCarthy owns and operates The Felted Bee, a needle felting company nestled within the South Shore region of Massachusetts. Jennifer has spent years honing her various needle felting creations and techniques. She brings her background in painting & sculpture and over 16 years of art education to classes of all ages. Check out her work at thefeltedbee.com.

VIRTUAL: The Boston Tea Party -- 250 Years Later
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** 

Register directly on Zoom.

The story of tea has always been infused with intrigue, particularly when it became a flash point for tensions between England and Colonial America. On the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773), learn about the brewing political problems tea presented in its history with Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans. Then, author, genealogist, librarian, and former UK resident Debra Dudek examines the history of the Boston Tea Party’s most famous partiers (and phonies), as well as how to trace bona fide participants through lineage societies and historical groups.

About the presenters:

Claire Evans is an author, former journalist, attorney, and college lecturer who started her love of most things British as she and her mother watched countless Britcoms on PBS. She studied abroad in London and, against the odds, she married a Brit she met in Peoria, Illinois. They lived in England for a number of years. Her business, Tea with Claire, grew from friends asking for travel advice. Her memoir, High Tea and the Low Down, is the true story of what it's really like to marry a witty Englishman and move to Britain.

Debra M. Dudek is Head of Adult and Teen Services at the Fountaindale Public Library District in Bolingbrook, IL. She holds a post graduate certificate in Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.

NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.

This program is hosted by the Tewksbury Public Library and a collaboration between multiple MA libraries. This program is sponsored by Whitcomb House Trust.

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**

Register directly on Zoom.

We're at it again! We keep having so much fun with Loretta and Susan that we had to keep bringing them back for encore performances. You know them as the Two Nerdy History Girls - authors Loretta Chase and Susan Holloway Scott were the originators of the infamous blog. We, once again, have Loretta and Susan here to answer all of our burning questions. How do they find interesting tidbits of historical lore, which libraries of the world have they visited, and how do they avoid the inescapable "rabbit hole"? We can't wait for what we know is going to be a fascinating conversation between these two friends and researchers.

This program is hosted by the Ashland Public Library and sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library. You'll receive the link for the Zoom in the confirmation and reminder emails - make sure to check your spam folder for them, the email will be coming from ashlandprograms@minlib.net.
 
About the presenters:

Loretta Chase has worked in academe, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streets—as a meter maid—and in video, as a scriptwriter. She might have developed an excitingly checkered career had her spouse not nagged her into writing fiction. Her bestselling historical romances, set in the Regency and Romantic eras of the early nineteenth century, have won a number of awards, including the Romance Writers of America’s RITA® and Vivian®.

Susan Holloway Scott is the author of over fifty historical novels and novellas. Her bestselling books have received numerous awards and honors, and with more than four million copies of her books in print, she has been published in nineteen foreign countries around the world. She has also written under the pseudonyms Isabella Bradford and Miranda Jarrett. Susan is a graduate of Brown University, and lives with her family in a book-filled house outside of Philadelphia, PA.

Fierce Females: Women in Art

Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators?

About the presenter: Jane Oneail (pronounced OH-neel) is the founder of Culturally Curious, an arts education consulting firm specializing in art appreciation programs. She curates and delivers programs throughout New England and beyond. Oneail holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University.

VIRTUAL: Author Q&A 'Food Waste, Food Insecurity, and the Globalization of Food Banks'
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**

 
So many of us are passionate about finding ways to reduce food waste so we're thrilled to be hosting author and professor Daniel N. Warshawsky for a virtual discussion of his new book "Food Waste, Food Insecurity, and the Globalization of Food Banks".
 
About the book: Food banks—warehouses that collect and systematize surplus food—have expanded into one of the largest mechanisms to redistribute food waste. From their origins in North America in the 1960s, food banks provide food to communities in approximately one hundred countries on six continents. This book analyzes the development of food banks across the world and the limits of food charity as a means to reduce food insecurity and food waste.
 
Based on fifteen years of in-depth fieldwork on four continents, Daniel Warshawsky illustrates how and why food banks proliferate across the globe even though their impacts may be limited. He suggests that we need to reformulate the role of food banks. The mission of food banks needs to be more realistic, as food surpluses cannot reduce food insecurity on a significant scale. Food banks need to regain their institutional independence from the state and corporations, and incorporate the knowledge and experiences of the food insecure in the daily operations of the food system. These collective changes can contribute to a future where food banks play a smaller but more targeted role in food systems.
 
About the Author: Daniel N. Warshawsky is an Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences and International Studies at Wright State University where he teaches courses in geography and public administration. In his research, Daniel analyzes urban food systems in North America and Africa. The results of these studies have been published in The Professional Geographer, Urban Geography, Geoforum, Social and Cultural Geography, The Geographical Journal, Geography Compass, Geographical Review, Cities, Sustainability, Agriculture and Human Values, Journal of Southern African Studies, and African Geographical Review
 
This program is hosted by the Ashland Public Library in partnership with a multitude of MA libraries. Sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.

Bending Towards Justice: African Americans as Subject and Creators in American Art

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” This program examines that arc as it relates to African American history enshrined in American Art. From colonial era portraits to 19th-century and Jim Crow-era prints to 1960s Civil Rights photography, this program will provide a visual overview of African American oppression, struggle and progress towards equality.

About the presenter: Jane Oneail (pronounced OH-neel) is the founder of Culturally Curious, an arts education consulting firm specializing in art appreciation programs. She curates and delivers programs throughout New England and beyond. Oneail holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. Born and raised in NH, she has worked at some of the state's most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as Executive Director, and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University. For more information visit iamculturallycurious.com.

This program is hosted by Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough and a collaboration between multiple MA libraries. This program is sponsored by Whitcomb House Trust.

Wanderhome
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Registration Required

Ages 7 and up (Players must also be able to read and write independently)

Wanderhome is a collaborative storytelling game, similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but with fewer rules and a focus on problem solving instead of combat.  Our adventure will take place in Haeth, a peaceful land full of animal-folk. We'll all work together to describe the places we go, and the friends we meet along the way. Do you want to travel as a skunk who carries mail? A fox who's a travelling teacher? Maybe a crow who loves to tell jokes? Something else? Come join our story!

Please register before September 16 for the school year session, which will meet weekly on Mondays from September-June. Interested players and parents should also register for the Wanderhome Info Session on September 11.
