SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Reading Group November Meetup- The Word for World is Forest
DESCRIPTION:The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Monday\, November 21st in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. LeGuin. \nFrom Goodreads: \n“Centuries in the future\, Terrans have established a logging colony & military base named “New Tahiti” on a tree-covered planet whose small\, green-furred\, big-eyed inhabitants have a culture centered on lucid dreaming. Terran greed spirals around native innocence & wisdom\, overturning the ancient society...Terran colonists take over the planet locals call Athshe\, meaning “forest\,” rather than “dirt\,” like their home planet Terra. They follow the 19th century model of colonization: felling trees\, planting farms\, digging mines & enslaving indigenous peoples. The natives are unequipped to comprehend this. They’re a subsistence race who rely on the forests & have no cultural precedent for tyranny\, slavery or war. The invaders take their land without resistance until one fatal act sets rebellion in motion & changes the people of both worlds forever. ” \nThe Sci-Fi Reading Group Meets the third Monday of every month and is open to readers and dreamers of all ages. Even those who haven’t read the book are welcome to join! We are always taking suggestions for books for future discussions.

SUMMARY:The Buddha as Political Actor
DESCRIPTION:With Rev. Doctor Thomas Redden \nMain Reading Room 7:00 pm \nOptional meditation in Community Meeting Room\, 6:15 – 6:40 \nBeginners welcome at 6:00 for an introduction \nWhat if the Buddhist values of loving-kindness and compassion were at the heart of a political philosophy\, what we might call a ‘Politics of Compassion\,’ in 21st century USA?  Explore the Buddha’s world\, his politics\, and what an ‘Engaged Buddhism’ looks like in the US today through a series of three programs with Rev. Dr. Thomas Redden\, PhD\, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and History\, Southern Vermont College & Marlboro College\, and ordained Zen Buddhist priest\, Zen Peacemaker Order. \nThe series: \nThe Buddha’s World: October 19. The historic Buddha lived at a time of dramatic change technologically\, economically\, socially and politically. Dr. Redden will examine those changes and how the Buddha’s teachings challenged the traditional Brahmanism of his day and resonated with his many followers. \nThe Buddha as Political Actor: November 16. As the leader of religious community numbering in the thousands in Eastern India\, the Buddha needed to maintain good relations with the local kings and communities in order to thrive in a very political and often violent environment.  As a result\, he developed distinctive leadership styles toward his followers as well as the local rulers. Above all\, he was pragmatic\, non-dogmatic and flexible. \nEngaged Buddhism and American Politics Today: December 21.  With the global climate crisis and other daunting political issues clearly in their sight\, a variety of leading ‘Engaged Buddhists\,’ such as the Dalai Lama\, argue that our search for happiness through consumerism and naked self-interest is leading us down a path of self-destruction.  Engaged Buddhism works toward personal and social transformation with the aspiration of creating societies based on compassion and justice. \nThe lectures will be held in the Main Reading Room at 7 pm. Each presentation will be preceded by a short period of Zen meditation in the Community Meeting Room from 6:15-6:40 for those interested. Beginners are welcome to arrive at 6 for a brief introduction. \nThe program is free and open to the public. The venue\, 224 Main St. in Brattleboro\, is accessible to people in wheelchairs.  For more information visit www.brookslibraryvt.org or call 802-254-5290 ex 1201.

SUMMARY:Migration Pathways: Stories of Yesterday and Today
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Ingall\, creator of the project “Warlé\, Yesterday\, and Today\,” presents a slide talk and storytelling exercise inspired by the lives and legacy of Warren Kronemeyer and Leon Ingall\, a Vermont couple who were entrepreneurs and civic leaders in Townshend\, VT during the 1980 and 1990s. Leon was a refugee twice: first fleeing the Bolsheviks in 1918 and then again from the Nazis in the late 1930s. \nWarren and Leon’s remarkable story of love\, adversity\, caregiving\, and creativity provides a lens to explore similar and divergent experiences of today’s LGBTQ+ elders\, asylum-seekers\, refugees\, and migrants. The afternoon will conclude with a discussion from local organizations that include an overview of various immigration statuses and avenues towards residency; how these underrepresented communities invigorate cultural\, economic\, and social life; and how citizens can best support newcomers. \nAbout Andrew Ingall\nAndy Ingall has been working in arts\, culture\, and community engagement for over twenty years as a curator\, scholar\, writer\, performer\, and producer. He received a B.A. from Columbia College and an M.A. in Performance Studies from Tisch School of the Arts\, New York University. His collaborators have included cultural workers\, artists\, scholars\, faith leaders\, activists\, health care professionals\, and funeral directors. \n  \nAbout Kate Paarlberg-Kvam\nKate Paarlberg-Kvam (she/they) is Executive Director at the Community Asylum Seekers Project (CASP)\, headquartered in Brattleboro. Kate holds a PhD in Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and is a former postdoctoral fellow at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies\, where she conducted research on gender\, displacement\, and postwar reconciliation efforts.

SUMMARY:Archer Mayor at the Library: Fall Guy
DESCRIPTION:In Fall Guy\, Archer Mayor’s newest Joe Gunther novel\, a body found in the trunk of a stolen car leads Gunther and his team to crucial evidence in an infamous unsolved case from years past. \nMeet author Archer Mayor at the library \nSaturday\, October 29th at 11:00 a.m. \nLearn about what the Chicago Tribune calls “the best police-procedural series being written in America.”  \nAbout Archer Mayor and the Joe Gunther series\nProtagonist Joe Gunther once worked for the Brattleboro\, Vermont\, police department and is now a Special Agent for the fictional Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Books about his case-solving prowess have appeared once a year since 1988 and have been published in five languages (if you count British). They routinely gather high praise from such sources as The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, and the New Yorker\, often appearing on annual ten best lists. \nMayor’s novels are rooted in actual field experience. Closely aligned to the Gunther series are the author’s own experiences in Vermont working variously as a police officer and a firefighter/EMT over the past thirty years. Currently\, he still works as a medico-legal death investigator for the state’s medical examiner. This background adds depth\, detail\, and veracity to his characters and their struggles. \nArcher was honored with the 2016 Robert B. Parker Award. (Parker being “The Dean of Mystery Writers.”) In 2004\, he won the New England Independent Booksellers Association Award for Best Fiction—the first time a writer of crime literature has been so honored. He was inducted into Vermont’s Academy of Arts and Science\, and\, in 2012\, was awarded the Vermont governor’s award for Excellence in the Arts. In 2011\, Mayor’s 22nd Joe Gunther novel\, TAG MAN\, earned a place on The New York Times bestseller list for hardback fiction.
