SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge Kick-Off Event
DESCRIPTION:There is nature all around us! Knowing what species are in our city/town and where they are helps us study and protect them\, but the ONLY way to do that is by all of us – scientists\, land managers\, and the community – working together to find and document the nature in our area. \nBy participating in the City Nature Challenge\, not only do you learn more about your local nature\, but you can also make your city/town a better place – for you and other species! \n————- \nKick-Off Event \nSaturday\, April 25 \n10-11am – Intro to the Challenge & ID Tips – Brooks Memorial Library Community Room \n12-1pm – Identification Walk – West River Park (333 West River Road\, Brattleboro\, VT) \n————- \nWe’ll start with a Kick-Off Event on Saturday\, April 25\, from 10am-11am in the Brooks Memorial Library Community Room.  It will be followed by a nature walk from 12-1pm at West River Park (333 West River Road\, Brattleboro\, VT) so folks can apply their news skills\,  contributing to citizen science.  An ID Session is scheduled for Tuesday\, April 28 at 7pm in the Community Room. \n————- \nAbout the ID Session on April 28: whether you’re a seasoned user of iNaturalist and have made many IDs of other people’s observations to bring them to Research Grade\, or you’re using iNaturalist for the first time during the April 24-27 observation period of the City Nature Challenge\, we’d love to have you join the effort to identify as many of the observations made in Windham County during the Challenge as possible. If you’re new to this\, we’ll help you learn how to use the identification features of iNaturalist. \nThe CNC\, held globally by iNaturalist\, is the largest annual biodiversity census in the world\, and this year\, we’re taking part in Windham County! Our local Windham County Nature Challenge is being organized by the Brattleboro Conservation Commission and cosponsored  by several local Conservation Commissions\, Brooks Memorial Library\, and the Connecticut River Conservancy.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Talking About Tech
DESCRIPTION:Illustration AI-generated with Google Gemini.  Can you spot the signs? \nNo Talking About Tech in April\nWe won’t meet for Talking About Tech on April 25\, due to a number of scheduling conflicts.  Join us on the fourth Saturday in May\, 5/23.  Spotlight topic to be announced. \nWhat is Talking About Tech?\nOur vision is an interactive gathering a bit like a book club crossed with a crafting group\, with a touch of a drop-in bike repair clinic.  Each session will begin with a 30-minute guided discussion of a tech topic of interest.  One month we might talk about managing passwords\, or organizing email and files; how the internet works\, or vibe coding with AI. \nThen we’ll have a about an hour for mutual tech support\, on the focus topic or other areas of need and interest. Maybe you have the answer someone else is looking for! The library’s Electronic Services Specialist\, Matt\, will be there to provide expert help. Bring your phone\, tablet\, or laptop. \nDo you have a request for a future spotlight topic?\nSuggestions are welcome!  We want Talking About Tech to be shaped through participation\, so bring ideas for a future topic to any session.  You can also contact the library with your request.  Maybe you’d be the perfect person to lead discussion on some spotlight topic! \n
