Help us kick-off Good Neighbor Week! Holbrook Public Library is looking for volunteers who can help us clean up the library flower beds! To get the space ready for our Community Garden, which will be sprouting this spring, we will be transplanting bulbs and plants so that they can safely winter in their new spots. So if you've got some spare time and spare garden gloves, please come dig up some plants and be rewarded with not only coffee, donuts, and bagels but also knowing what a good neighbor you are! https://holbrookpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/good-neighbor-week-fall-lawn-clean-up/

Join us for our September SciFri Book Club meeting, as we discuss Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines by leading computer science expert Dr. Joy Buolamwini. Unmasking AI goes beyond the headlines and examines the societal impact of artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on Buolamwini's concept of "the coded gaze," which refers to the power dyanmics and biases embedded in AI technology. Applying an intersectional lens to both the tech industry and the research sector, Buolamwini shows how racism, sexism, colorism, and ableism can overlap and render broad swaths of humanity âexcodedâ and therefore vulnerable in a world rapidly adopting AI tools.  https://holbrookpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/scifri-book-club-pm-meeting-7/
