SUMMARY:Talking About Tech: AI: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Everyday
DESCRIPTION:Illustration AI-generated with Google Gemini.  Can you spot the signs? \nIn September\, Bob Jude Ferrante led us through some of the history of Artificial Intelligence\, explained some of the buzzwords and a bit about how AI works. This month\, we’ll have an open discussion about AI. Bring your questions\, your observations\, and your honest thoughts. \nWe’ll talk through the big concerns—like the impact on jobs\, the environment\, creativity\, and safety—as well as practical tips\, everyday uses\, and hopes for where technology is heading \nHow has AI changed how we search the internet? What does that mean about whether we can trust the information we do find? What about the ethics of training AI on huge amounts of copyrighted books\, music\, images? \nHave you used it to draft an email for you? Had a conversation with someone speaking in another language? Had an app tell you what song’s stuck in your head by hearing you hum a few lines? \nWhether you use AI tools daily\, feel skeptical\, are deeply concerned\, or are just curious to learn what others think\, all perspectives and experience levels are welcome.

SUMMARY:Election Integrity Community Conversations
DESCRIPTION:In efforts to promote both awareness of and preparedness for responding to issues that have raised questions about this November’s midterm election\, Defend Our Vote (DOV) is facilitating a series of community conversations in the final weeks leading up to “the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States.” (Timothy Snyder\, American historian specializing in fascism) \nCommunity Conversations is an innovative series hosted by Defend Our Vote and members Lisa Moir\, Sarah Waldo\, and Tim Stevenson. The purpose in organizing these conversations is to provide citizens with the opportunity to express their concerns about the integrity of the election\, as well as to discuss how they might respond should their Constitutional right to the franchise be violated and the legitimacy of the election compromised. All are welcome! \nThis program at Brooks concludes DOV’s Community Conversation series: \n\nSept 27\, 5:30 PM\, Congregational Church\, Westminster\nOct 1\, 6:30 PM\, Putney Library\nOct 8\, 4 PM\, Rockingham Free Public Library\, Bellows Falls\nOct 14\, 6:30 PM\, All Souls Church\, West Brattleboro\nOct 21\, 6:30 PM\, Brooks Memorial Library\, Brattleboro\n\nDOV is an independent project of the Justice for All committee of Brattleboro Indivisible.

SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this very special Sci-Fi Reading Group as we meet from 7:00pm – 8:30pm to discuss Lost Ark Dreaming with a virtual appearance by the author\, Suyi Davies Okungbowa: \nOff the coast of West Africa\, decades after the dangerous rise of the Atlantic Ocean\, the region’s survivors live inside five partially submerged\, kilometers-high towers originally created as a playground for the wealthy. Now the towers’ most affluent rule from their lofty perch at the top while the rest are crammed into the dark\, fetid floors below sea level.\nThere are also those who were left for dead in the Atlantic\, only to be reawakened by an ancient power\, and who seek vengeance on those who offered them up to the waves.\nThree lives within the towers are pulled to the fore of this Yekini\, an earnest\, mid-level rookie analyst; Tuoyo\, an undersea mechanic mourning a tremendous loss; and Ngozi\, an egotistical bureaucrat from the highest levels of governance. They will need to work together if there is to be any hope of a future that is worth living―for everyone. \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:Brattleboro Literary Festival - Ann Braden
DESCRIPTION:Josie is sure her brain has to be right: that she needs to be perfect or something terrible will happen. Her distress\, in Ann Braden’s Hijacked by Goats\, leads to a hospitalization. When she’s diagnosed with OCD\, her therapist calls it a bully in her brain. Once back home\, Josie realizes that the bully in her mind seems to be a lot like Hal\, the stubborn\, smelly goat her dad is goat-sitting. With help from her therapist\, her dad\, and her friends\, Josie works to find the power to stand up to the bully in her head. (For ages 10 and up.) \nA former middle school teacher and a community organizer living in Brattleboro\, Ann Braden writes books about kids learning to stand up for themselves even when life is hard. Her debut middle grade novel\, The Benefits of Being an Octopus\, was one of NPR’s Best Books and  called one of “the essential middle school reads from the last decade” by Edutopia. Her subsequent books have been a Bank Street Best Book\, a School Library Journal Best Book\, and an ALA Notable Book. Her newest is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. \nFor more about Ann\, please visit her website: https://annbradenbooks.com/ \nAll are welcome to this Brattleboro Literary Festival event in the Main Reading Room. 25 FREE copies of Braden’s latest novel\, Hijacked by Goats\, are available for the first 25 middle grade attendees\, courtesy of the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library.
