Storrs Library is excited to host Cynde McInnis from The Whalemobile on Tuesday, January 26 at 6:30 on Zoom for "Whales Today." Whales and humans use the oceans today and, in many cases, share the same space and time. Cynde will explore ways scientists are studying whales such as tagging, passive acoustics, and biological sampling. She will share what is happening at a national level to protect whales and what we can do at an individual level to help protect whales.
Cynde McInnis has loved whales since she was a child and, and devoted her work to the study, conservation and public education around them. For 24 years, she developed and led Cape Ann Whale Watch’s Field Research and Marine Education Internship, training people in data collection techniques and presentation of educational programs aboard whale watch boats. She has led over 2000 whale watch trips and taught hundreds of thousands of people about whales and the threats they face in our oceans today. Cynde continues this work today through many projects, such as 2020 Year of the Right Whale.

Join Storrs Library as historian and journalist David Mould takes us on a journey to borders around the world, both real and imagined. In his latest book on travel, history, and culture, Postcards from the Borderlands, David explores the meaning of borders. Are they simply political and geographical, marked by posts, walls and fences, or should we think of them more broadly? Some borders, set by surveys and treaties, take no account of geography, language, and culture. There are borders within countries—physical, economic, or social. And finally there are the borders of our minds—the way we may think of unfamiliar places.
David Mould, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Media Arts and Studies at Ohio University, has traveled widely in Asia and southern Africa. Born in the UK, he worked as a newspaper and TV journalist before moving to the US. Histravel essays and articles have been published in Newsweek, Christian Science Monitor, Times Higher Education, and History News Network. His books include: Monsoon Postcards: Indian Ocean Journeys (Ohio University Press, 2019) and Postcards from Stanland: Journeys in Central Asia (Ohio University Press, 2016).

Join Naturalist and Educator Joy Marzolf for Storrs Library's Around the World Nature Series for Wales: Castles, Butterflies and more. Although part of the present day United Kingdom, Wales is a country of ancient origins and wild lands. Stone monuments from its pre-historic past still can be found across parts of the country today, along with ancient castles, remains of magnificent abbeys and even Roman ruins. The wild nature of this land can also be found in abundance, from the beautiful and colorful moors and butterflies of the Isle of Angelsea to the numerous birds and other wildlife of the coastal wetlands. More inland, the magnificent Kite can now be found again soaring as it looks for prey. Join us for castles, butterflies, birds and much more in a journey across Wales.Join Naturalist and Educator Joy Marzolf for Storrs Library's Around the World Nature Series for Wales: Castles, Butterflies and more.

We are excited to welcome back Sheryl Faye for her performance of Amelia Earhart, Pioneer in Aviation!
Amelia Earhart’s fearless, adventuresome spirit leads to hair-raising rides down her homemade roller coaster, and she is enthralled with the wonders of the new “flying machines” during a family vacation to the Iowa State Fair. As she matures, she is fulfilled by her work as a nurse’s aide and begins to consider a career in medicine. This idea “flies out the window,” however, when she pays a pilot $1.00 to take her up for a short “hop” in his plane. From then on, the science of aviation becomes her passion as flying becomes her career. She follows her dreams with an indomitable spirit, and her story will inspire everyone to pursue their own budding interests, whatever they may be, and will also reinforce the importance of family, respect for others and individuality.
Sponsored by FOLOCA and co-hosted by Longmeadow Adult Center and Storrs Library.
This is a 35 minute prerecorded show that will be available by password on Vimeo from 12:30 pm – 4:30 pm on Tuesday, March 9th. Register to receive the video link and password on the day of the program.

![Flyer for Paddy on the Railway: Irish and the building of the Great Western [Massachusetts] Railroad](https://www.longmeadowlibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Paddy-on-the-Railway.jpg)
Join Storrs Library and Longmeadow Historical Society for a discussion with Dennis Picard on Irish laborers and their role in the building of the Massachusetts Western Railroad in the 19th century. The Western Railroad of Massachusetts was a five-year project charted in February 1833. It linked Boston and Worcester to Springfield, and reached across the Connecticut River to the New York state line. Thousands of skilled and unskilled workers from many different ethnic groups contributed to the labor of this project, with the majority of laborers being of Irish birth or heritage. "Paddy on the Railway" revisits this 1830s construction project and its accomplishments owed to the vast amounts of manual toil, as well as how the Irish, who had been looked down upon by other parts of society, came to be recognized for their contributions to the effort.
Dennis Picard has been a museum professional in the living history field for over 30 years at both Old Sturbridge Village and Storrowton Village Museum. He has authored many articles on the lifestyles and folkways of New England and served as a consultant for historical societies and museums. Dennis is also the host of the "Treasures from the Attic" series with Longmeadow Historical Society and Storrs Library.
This program is cosponsored by Longmeadow Historical Society and Storrs Library.
