This will be the first of a series–we will plan future gatherings based on collective interest and energy.

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 To Be Taught\, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers: \nAt the turn of the twenty-second century\, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming\, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in subzero temperatures\, absorb radiation and convert it for food\, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor\, human beings are at last able to journey to neighboring exoplanets long known to harbor life. \nA team of these explorers\, Ariadne O’Neill and her three crewmates\, are hard at work in a planetary system fifteen light-years from Sol\, on a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds. But as Ariadne shifts through both form and time\, the culture back on Earth has also been transformed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left\, Ariadne begins to chronicle the story of the wonders and dangers of her mission\, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening. \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:The Resplendent Quetzal: Tourism and Land Use in Costa Rica - with Dr. Alan Poole
DESCRIPTION:This joint program\, co-sponsored by Brooks Memorial Library and Southeastern Vermont Audubon Society (SVAS)\, provides an accessible\, well-illustrated look at the life history of the Resplendent Quetzal — a dazzling\, legendary bird of the highland forests of Central America. Aztec and Mayan cultures revered this quetzal\, and today’s bird-watchers\, thousands of whom visit quetzal forests each year\, are only slightly less in awe. \nDr. Alan Poole\, the author of a recently published book on Resplendent Quetzals (Cornell Univ. Press\, 2023)\, will describe through the nesting ecology of this bird\, its role in Mayan and Aztec religions\, and how it fits into the increasingly threatened cloud forests that sustain it. The talk will also take a look at what lies ahead for this (and other) quetzals — how conservation efforts are giving them a boost\, and what threats Mesoamerican cloud forests are facing. \nAbove all this talk will examine land use in Central America\, especially Costa Rica\, through a quetzal lens — no species does more to bring current land use trends in this region into focus. Understanding these trends is key to maintaining the viability of highland tropical forests in the Americas\, and the quetzals that depend on them. \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nALAN POOLE\, an Associate of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, was editor of the Birds of North America life history series (18 volumes\, 18\,000 pages) for 22 years. He lives along the coast of southeastern Massachusetts\, and spends winters in the highlands of Costa Rica\, where quetzals are a highlight. \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nNote: This program will be at 7PM on Tuesday\, May 20 in the Main Reading Room\, and will take place instead of the monthly SVAS meeting.
