SUMMARY:POSTPONED  Traces of the Trade Documentary Film - by Katrina Browne
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED \nThis event will take place at a later time.  Thank you for your understanding. \nTRACE IT! FACE IT! LET’S HEAL OUR COMMUNITY! \nFirst time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery – her New England ancestors were the largest enslavement trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow descendants set off to retrace the Triangle Trade from the family’s historic hometown in Rhode Island to enslavement forts in Ghana to sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step-by-step\, they answer the vast extent of northern complicity in slavery while also stumbling and stretching their way through the minefield of contemporary race relations. \nThe film aired nationally in 2008 on PBS’ acclaimed non-fiction series\, POV\, and is now serving as a catalyst for education\, dialogue\, and action throughout the U.S. and overseas. Beacon Press has published Tom De Wolfe’s memoir of the journey\, Inheriting the Trade. Visit: www.tracesofthetrade.org and www.tracingcenter.org \nIn addition\, all are welcome for an heart-to-heart dialogue on film and a community healing art activity on the following day\, Wednesday June 25\, from 12:30 – 3:30 PM in Brooks Memorial Library’s Community Room. \nFacilitated by: Naima K Wade\, Project Director\, Teaching Artist of\nLegacies: Reckoning+ Resilience Project ( LRRP) \nFor more event information\, please contact:  naimawade11@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Exploring the Afterlife: Learning from Experts and Personal Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Have you had a near-death experience or communicated with a deceased loved one through a medium? Have you contemplated the possibility of reincarnation or had an experience about a past life? Do you wonder what awaits us in the afterlife? Western culture tends to dismiss or even disparage paranormal phenomena. But evidence is available to answer many questions about the afterlife. \nIn this five-part evening series on Tuesdays from June 17th to July 15th\, we will do three things: 1) read books by experts on near-death experiences\, scientific instruments and experiments in paranormal research\, out-of-body experiences\, and the work of reputable mediums; 2) raise questions and concerns about the evening’s topic; and 3) share personal experiences of paranormal phenomena in a safe environment. Each participant will choose a book from a provided list to report on. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions. \nThe group will be led by hospice chaplain and former social worker Diane Southard and Valerie Abrahamsen\, author of Paranormal: A New Testament Scholar Looks at the Afterlife (2015). \nParticipants are encouraged to contact Valerie at www.wisdomwordsppf.org/contact/ as soon as possible to obtain the book list and additional information. Adults over 18 are invited!

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 The Resisters by Gish Jen! \nThe time: not so long from now. The place: AutoAmerica\, a country surveilled by one “Aunt Nettie\,” a Big Brother that is part artificial intelligence\, part internet\, and oddly human—even funny. The people: divided. The “angelfair” Netted have jobs and\, what with the country half under water\, literally occupy the high ground. The Surplus live on swampland if they’re lucky\, on water if they’re not. \nThe story: To a Surplus couple—he once a professor\, she still a lawyer—is born a girl\, Gwen\, with a golden arm. Her teens find her happily playing in an underground baseball league\, but when AutoAmerica faces ChinRussia in the Olympics\, Gwen finds herself in dangerous territory\, playing ball with the Netted even as her mother battles this apartheid-like society in court. \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.
