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 Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky \nRed Schuhart is a stalker\, one of those young rebels who are compelled\, in spite of extreme danger\, to venture illegally into the Zone to collect the mysterious artifacts that the alien visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the place and the thriving black market in the alien products. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a “full empty\,” something goes wrong. And the news he gets from his girlfriend upon his return makes it inevitable that he’ll keep going back to the Zone\, again and again\, until he finds the answer to all his problems. \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.

The construction is considered as a blessing for the area and for the people who live where it is constructed.” \nThis week-long event is sponsored by River Gallery School (RGS) in partnership with Brooks Memorial Library.

SUMMARY:Closing Ceremony - with Lama Tenzin Yignyen
DESCRIPTION:As part of the week-long visit of Lama Tenzin Yignyen\,  there will be a formal closing ceremony in which Lama Tenzin will intentionally destroy the delicate Sand Mandala of Compassion – Avalokiteshvara – that he patiently created throughout the week. \nDuring this dismantling ceremony\,  the public will be invited to help sweep the sand into a vase. Breaking the circle of the mandala symbolizes the impermanence of all things and serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of existence.  \nAs part of the closing\, we will walk from the library down Main Street to the Whetstone pathway\, where Lama Tenzin will return the sand to the earth by offering it to the brook.  All are welcome to attend this meaningful ceremony. \nThis week-long event is sponsored by River Gallery School (RGS) in partnership with Brooks Memorial Library. This event is made possible by the Vermont Community Foundation.
