Join us for a discussion of the documentary film, Black Men in White Coats. Free.
The panel will include Dr. Ramon Batson, Chief of Neurosurgery at Norwalk Hospital, Dr. Stephen John Maddox Jr., Pediatrician at [place], and Dr. Iftikhar Ali, a full spectrum clinical physician at AFC Urgent Care Danbury.
Struck by the dismal statistic that only 2 percent of U.S. doctors are Black men, physician and filmmaker Dale Okorodudu, M.D. committed himself to galvanize the academic medical community and the public to tackle the problem. The issue was amplified in 2015 when the Association of American Medical Colleges released a report, based on a study led by Nivet, that revealed the number of Black male medical school applicants was lower in 2014 than in 1978.
Diversity advocates say closing the diversity gap is critical to eliminating mistrust among African Americans about the American health care system based on experiences of bias and a history of unethical medical experimentations performed on Black patients. This mistrust is a contributing factor to existing health care disparities affecting Black patients, including the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the African American community.

The way to really grow your business, without increasing the amount of time you work, is to stay in your zone of genius, doing the work that you excel at, and delegating the rest. After all, when you try to do EVERYTHING, something or someone suffers.
In this interactive workshop, Laura Licursi of Elite Virtual Assistants and Lisa Crilley Mallis of Impactive Strategies will help you with the best practices for managing your time and a very simple process for identifying which items to delegate first.
You'll learn about:
- Uncovering the key components of your ideal workday
- Discovering exactly where you are spending (or wasting) your time
- The #1 delegating mistake you don’t even know you’re making
NOTE: To receive the highest return from this workshop, track your tasks for a week, bring a pack of small post-it notes, download the Delegate Like a Pro Action Guide when you log into the webinar, and be ready to dig in!
This is an online webinar.

Stop by the circulation desk for a copy of September's choice: The Oregon Trial by Rinker Buck
Road trip, old-school style! Though the Oregon Trail fell out of favor with travelers after the transcontinental railroad was finished in 1869, it's still possible to travel the trail from Missouri to Oregon (though some parts are now paved roads). Over 100 years after the last known crossing, journalist Rinker Buck, his brother, and his brother's Jack Russell terrier set out in a covered wagon pulled by mules. Along with riveting details about their four-month, 2,000-mile trip, Buck describes the rich history of the trail and the pioneers who made the journey before him.

![Agent Sonya: Moscow's Most Daring Wartime Spy by [Ben Macintyre]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51avedxi6kS.jpg)
Stop by the circulation desk for a copy of October's selection: Agent Sonya by Ben MacIntyre
This true-life spy story is a masterpiece about the woman code-named "Sonya." Over the course of her career, she was hunted by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Nazis, MI5, MI6, and the FBI--and she evaded them all. Her story reflects the great ideological clash of the twentieth century--between Communism, Fascism, and Western democracy--and casts new light on the spy battles and shifting allegiances of our own times.
The Library is closed in observance, but not in honor, of the official town holiday that happens today.

Stop by the circulation desk for a copy of December's title: Astoria by Peter Stark
