SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet in the Quiet Reading Room from 7:00pm – 8:30pm to discuss Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto! \nEdie is done with crime. Eight years behind bars changes a person—costs them too much time with too many of the people who need them most. \nAnd it’s all Angel’s fault. She sold Edie out in what should have been the greatest moment of their lives. Instead\, Edie was shipped off to the icy prison planet spinning far below the soaring skybridges and neon catacombs of Kepler space station—of home—to spend the best part of a decade alone. \nBut then a chance for early parole appears out of nowhere and Edie steps into the pallid sunlight to find none other than Angel waiting—and she has an offer. \nOne last job. One last deal. One last target. The trillionaire tech god they failed to bring down last time. There’s just one thing Edie needs to do—trust Angel again—which also happens to be the last thing Edie wants to do. What could possibly go all hammajang about this plan? \nThe Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds\, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.

SUMMARY:Becoming Wolf: The Eastern Coyote in New England
DESCRIPTION:An eastern coyote is defined as much by its western coyote ancestry as by the DNA contribution from the eastern wolf. Coyotes in the northeast vary physically and behaviorally from their smaller western relatives while still maintaining their incredible adaptability. This program delves into the ecology and behavior of this creature\, its indefatigability\, and how humans must adapt to live with the coyote. \nOn the horizon\, however\, is a native carnivore that fled the northeast during wolf removal and now may be trying to return: The eastern wolf. A look-alike to the coyote\, it has been killed mistakenly for its similarity of appearance to the coyote. We’ll talk about how the wolf and coyote might negotiate a truce in the northeast and how we might do the same.  This program is sponsored by Protect Our Wildlife (https://www.protectourwildlifevt.org/). \n  \nAbout Christine Schadler\, presenter: \nChris’ interest in wild canids began in the 1970s as a volunteer at Wolf Park in Battleground\, Indiana. This opportunity and others inspired an eventual Masters in Conservation Biology at Antioch University in Keene. Her thesis focused on the Natural Recovery of the Eastern Timber Wolf in Michigan. Chris lived in Michigan and Minnesota during the early 1980s where her research into the gray wolf continued and her speaking career began. \nBeginning in the early 1990s\, Chris taught Forestry\, Wolf Ecology and Environmental Conservation in the Natural Resources Department at UNH. She also instructed and mentored adult degree candidates in the UNH System at Granite State College. \nWhile wolf recovery was the focus of her early work\, Chris’ attention shifted to the Eastern Coyote when she and her flock of sheep moved to New England. She is now the NH and VT Representative for Project Coyote\, a national organization promoting coexistence with coyotes. Chris (with John Harrigan) co-founded the NH Wildlife Coalition which aims to defend predators. She currently Chairs the Webster Conservation Commission and is a member of the Northeast Wolf Recovery Alliance.

SUMMARY:What the Constitution Means For Us - with Meg Mott
DESCRIPTION:The Preamble of the Constitution has its own particular grammar. In that singular sentence We\, the People define what we want from government: Justice\, domestic Tranquility\, a common defence\, the general Welfare and the Blessings of Liberty. The rest of the Constitution provides the means to achieve those noble ends. It’s not enough to say what we want. We have to design a government that saves us from ourselves.\n \n\n\nThis Constitution Day (09/17) presentation considers whether or not the Constitution is up to the task. This is not a new question. Some antebellum abolitionists referred to the Constitution as “an agreement with Hell.” Others said it was the only effective tool against the wickedness of political leaders. Without the Constitution the People have no power against the State. Finally\, we’ll ask ourselves how we might better dwell in the Constitution in order to achieve a “more perfect union.”\n  \n\nThis program is part of The America 250 Town Hall Series\, a collaboration with Brooks Memorial Library\, Windham World Affairs Council\,  and Vermont Independent Media\, publisher of The Commons\, and is made possible\, in part\, through a generous grant from the Vermont Humanities Council.\n  \n….\n\n  \n About the presenter: After twenty years of teaching political theory and constitutional law to Marlboro College undergraduates\, Meg Mott has taken her love of argument to the general public. She attended the University of New Hampshire in the 1970s and is currently teaching at Keene State College. Meg’s award-winning series\, Debating Our Rights\, on the first ten amendments\, brings civil discussions on contentious issues to public libraries and colleges.

SUMMARY:Windham County Genealogy Interest Group September Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Discover Your Revolutionary War Ancestors & Researching in the Vermont Historical Society Portal   \n\nThe fall meeting of the  Windham County Genealogy Interest Group will focus on “Discover Your Revolutionary War Ancestors” & “Researching in the Vermont Historical Society Portal”\, on  Saturday\, September 20\, 2025\,  from 10:30 AM to 12:30PM\, by Zoom and at Brooks Memorial Library.   In case of inclement weather\, it will be Zoom only. Free and open to all. \nPlease register at this link: https://bit.ly/WCGIG2025 . A Zoom link will be sent before the meeting. For those people in the local vicinity\, an in-person meeting will also be conducted at Brooks Memorial Library\, 224 Main St.\, Brattleboro\, Vermont. \n “Discover Your Revolutionary War Ancestors” \nThis year begins the 250th anniversary of the Revolution.  If an ancestor was in America at the time of the Revolution (1775-1783) and was of age to serve\, now is the best time to find possible military service\, land bounty\, and pension records.  Even if a lineal ancestor did not serve\, perhaps a relative did\, and records might include information about others in the family.  Using databases such as the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Genealogical Research System and resources at the National Archives\, as well as tools at Ancestry and Family Search should yield information about ancestors that is found nowhere else. “This is a wonderful opportunity to connect your family story to the founding of our country”\, said Wayne Blanchard who will lead the session.   \n“Researching Vermont Through  the  Vermont Historical Society Website” \nThe Vermont Historical Society was chartered in 1n 1838 as an independent non-profit dedicated to exploring the rich heritage of Vermont. The Vermont History Center is located in Barre\, Vermont and the Vermont History Museum is located in Montpelier. Both institution contain over 30\,000 items to assist the general public and researchers. The VHS website provides access to these items through its library catalog\, its museum catalog\, digital resources\, Vermont History Journal\, and Vermont stories\, which includes curated podcasts and videos. We will explore these points of access to retrieve vital information that may help in your genealogy research.  \nFor more information\, please contact the Windham County Genealogy Interest Group: windhamcountygig@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation - with Bhante
DESCRIPTION:This offering will be lead by Bhante Rathana\, a Buddhist monk originally from Sri Lanka and currently residing at Serenity Central of New England in Jacksonville\, Vermont. He has been dedicated to the path of Dhamma since the age of 13\, and his journey includes over two decades of monastic training\, study\, and teaching in Sri Lanka and the United States. \nAt these sessions\, Bhante will be offering practical guidance in breathing meditation (ānāpānasati)\, loving-kindness meditation (mettā bhāvanā)\, and walking meditation\, rooted in the original teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the Pāli Canon.

SUMMARY:50 Years of Herbal Lessons in 60 Minutes – with Paul Schulick
DESCRIPTION:In an era in our country where millions face increasing stress\, from economic and climactic uncertainty to political divides\, a particularly vulnerable impact could manifest in our personal health. To make matters even more precarious\, it is quite possible that millions of people will also be left uninsured and at the mercy of a widely recognized broken health care system. These vulnerabilities challenge the very fabric not only of our well-being but our country as well. Many scientifically validated alternatives or complementary options to modern pharmaceuticals can buoy an individual’s resilience through these challenging times ahead. \nFrom Paul’s fifty years of serving many thousands of people and professionals in healthcare\, he will propose his favorite simple and common-sense herbal and holistic solutions. \n—————— \nAbout the presenter: Paul Schulick is best known for founding New Chapter\, a leading national nutritional supplement company right here in Brattleboro. Being a student\, formulator\, and professional in the field of natural medicine for more than 50 years\, Paul’s passion brought numerous innovations and influence to the marketplace. \nPaul’s principal innovations were the advancement of whole food and daily herbal supplementation as an alternative to USP purified vitamins and minerals as well as helping to bring the European technology of herbal supercritical extraction to the United States. He also wrote and co-authored several books on natural healing\, helping found and create a biodynamic and organic ginger farm in Costa Rica and developing partnerships with major U.S. universities including MD Anderson Cancer Center\, Cleveland Clinic\, Cornell University\, Columbia University\, and the University of Tennessee to further the acceptance and value of herbal medicine. \nIn 2012\, P&G chose New Chapter to be their standard bearer in the nutritional supplement field. Paul and his co-founder wife Barbi stayed with the company for six more years until 2018 after which they decided to sow new opportunities and Paul continued his formulating\, writing\, and teaching.
