SUMMARY:"PART FOR THE HOLE" - book launch with author Peter Gould
DESCRIPTION:Postponed – due to a publishing matter.  As soon as we have the rescheduled date\, it will be posted. Stay tuned!  \nAt a time of increasing politicization of the idea of arts support\, this new novel\, PART FOR THE HOLE\, puts the reader into the mind and heart of a mild-mannered High School teacher who decides to rescue the National Endowment for the Arts all by himself—with the help of his sometime-lover and a bunch of his AP English students. They realize it’s time to take a stand\, to not allow every working artist to disappear into a corporate world that could ask for their soul in return for their success. But be advised: no artists\, teachers\, students\, or administrators were harmed in the writing or reading of this story: it’s all theater\, all metaphor! \n“Sentence by nimble sentence\, Gould gallivants through his story\, and I follow \nhis jazzy solo phrases\, hoping that this book never ends.” \nPeter Coyote\, old hipster\, author\, actor\, Zen Buddhist priest. \nPART FOR THE HOLE will be published by Whetstone Books in April\, 2026. Brooks Memorial Library is honored to host this book launch event. All are welcome! \n——— \nPeter Gould founded (in 1998) and still directs the “Get Thee to the Funnery” youth Shakespeare camp in the Northeast Kingdom. For his work with theater and creative writing students around Vermont\, he earned the Arts Council’s 2016 Ellen McCulloch-Lovell Arts Educator of the Year Award.

SUMMARY:A Lifeline for Difficult Times:  The Taking Solace Series
DESCRIPTION:Starting last November\, Center for Solace (formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice) & Brooks Memorial Library\nwere inspired to begin an 8-month collaboration on the first Wednesday of each month\, from 6-8 pm. \nCome join us for a wide range of conversations\non tender topics\, from Death Cafes\, to film & discussion nights\,\nspeaker panels\, a climate-grief dialogue\, and more. \nTogether we’ll explore some of the challenges of being alive in our time.\nFor instance\, how might we navigate illness\, caregiving\, or loss?\nOr beyond that\, face a much broader anguish for our fragile planet itself?\nBecause we know that at least one form of solace\nstems from staying connected. \nTo quote poet David Whyte\, “Solace is not meant to be\nan answer\, but an invitation\, through the door of pain and difficulty\,\nto the depth of suffering and simultaneous beauty in the world\nthat the strategic mind by itself cannot grasp or make sense of.”   \nContinuing our monthly Taking Solace series at Brooks Memorial Library\, join us on April 8 from 6-8 pm to watch the award-winning 2022 documentary Living in the Time of Dying: Meeting the Truth of the Climate Crisis\, by Australian filmmaker Michael Shaw. After the film there will be an hour for facilitated discussion on how we are feeling and how we can stay connected\, with Michael Shaw attending remotely. \nAnd to find out about further topics\, please follow\nCenter for Solace or Brooks Memorial Library on Facebook:\ncenterforsolace.org\, or brookslibraryvt.org.

SUMMARY:Beyond I Have A Dream: A Discussion of The Radical Martin King
DESCRIPTION:Event Information Updated (02/11):  \nBrattleboro Common Sense is planning this event to be a public discussion with the descriptive title “Beyond I Have A Dream” and with short presentations by Etan Nasreddin-Longo\, Reverend Arnold Thomas\, Rv. Lise Sparrow\, and Dr. Mary Gannon\, honoring King and Black History Month and featuring Q&A and public discussion more than presentations. The purpose will be to raise awareness of King’s radical evolution and of other militant anti-racist thought. \nA commentary by Rev. Thomas’ published in Jun 1\, 2020\, was the inspiration for this event. He lamented the outcry about the killing of George Floyd: “The increasing numbers of black and brown people across the nation and in Vermont have also increased in their intolerance of noisy-gong-and-clashing-cymbal-like rhetoric of whites who momentarily raise their voices against what they see as a momentary crisis and then resume their lives supporting and sustaining the systems of their own privilege.” \nAbout the Presenters: \nDr. Mary Gannon is a training consultant with the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity\, a prominent activist around Brattleboro\, and honored for Lifetime Achievement by the Windham County NAACP. \nReverand Dr. Lise Sparrow and Dr. Gannon founded the the Community Equity Foundation. As a leader of Vermont Interfaith Action pastor\, Rev. Dr. Sparrow made the Guilford Church a well known resource for social justice events and organizing. She received special commendation for her work by the Vermont Legislature. \nProfessor Etan Nasreddin-Longo has served as director of the Vermont Legislative Panel on Racial Disparities in Montpelier and as counsel to the Vermont State Police on officer training. Locally\, he has been a visiting professor at Marlboro College. In 2022\, he gave a public introductory lesson on critical race theory for BCS. \nThe Reverend Arnold Thomas: The reverend’s awards in the ministry and civil rights advocacy are far too many to mention. He is: \n• Cofounder\, Vermont Social Equity Caucus of the State House and Senate\n• President & Founder\, Northern Berkshire Human Rights & Relations Task Force\n• Board Member\, Vermont Racial Justice Alliance\n• Board Member\, Vermont ACLU \nThese are only four positions he holds in community leadership in social justice only around Vermont. His scholarship and leadership positions outside Vermont are quite extensive and far-reaching. \nAll are welcome to join in what promises to be a compelling conversation.
