We are so excited to welcome author Matthew Algeo to our virtual stage! He will be discussing her latest book, "New Yorkâs Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit" - a book that will captivate readers and provide historical context for todayâs clashes between public interests and powerful business and political groups. Algeo tells this amazing true story in full for the first time, and although it took place more than a century ago, it will at times sound surprisingly familiar. It's guaranteed to be a fascinating conversation and we hope you can join us for it! Register directly on Zoom HERE. NOTE: This program will be recorded and a video link will be sent to all registrants.  This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we're thrilled to be collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities. https://lunenburglibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-author-matthew-algeo-discusses-new-yorks-secret-subway/

Stop by the Wallace Community Room during the month of March to view our current exhibit by a local artist! Harmony and Discord: Natureâs Beauty, Humanityâs Impact is the intersection of our planetâs verdant splendor and humankindâs intension of destroying it in the name of progress. This thought-provoking exhibit will feature organic material sculpture and expressive landscape paintings utilizing fervent brush work, heavy paint application, and high contrast color emphasizing the way organic matter moves and interacts with its environment. Where it intersects is at the corner of our conscious that dwells on manmade ecological disasters; what is in our control as individual consumers, and what is out of our control as corporations savage earthâs natural resources for profit and gain. Itâs a fine line between appreciating and observing natural beauty and dealing with the crushing reality that the worldâs natural resources are on a downward trajectory spiraling out of control. About the Artist: Up until recently, Bridie Wolejko lived in Lunenburg for close to 10 years. In that time, she finished her Bachelorâs degree from Fitchburg State University with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Minor in Studio Art. She is now accepted into Clark Universityâs Visual Arts, MFA program with a graduation date of 2028. Bridie teaches art through several community organizations including Fitchburg Stateâs ALFA program and at Creative Connections in Ashburnham. She has exhibited her artwork in many galleries and museums including locally, nationally, and internationally. She was the first-place recipient of the Fitchburg Art Museumâs 83rd Regional Exhibit of Art and Craft. Her subsequent solo exhibit Hypnogogia which dealt with dream-like imagery of nature, folklore, and psychedelia was well-received and featured in both the Sentinel and Enterprise and Lowell Sun publications. https://lunenburglibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/closing-of-harmony-and-discord-nature-s-beauty-humanity-s-impact-by-bridie-wolejko/

We had such a wonderful conversation with Elizabeth back in October, we just had to have her back! As we learned, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most storied events of the Holocaust, yet previous accounts of which have almost entirely focused on its male participants. In The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto: The True Story of Five Courageous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising, Holocaust historian Elizabeth Hyman introduces five young, courageous Polish Jewish womenâknown as âthe girlsâ by the leadership of the resistance and âbanditsâ by their Nazi oppressorsâwho were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers. This time, we'll take a deeper dive into our women heroes - what was their motivation, how did they succeed in their endeavors, what was the impact of their work? If you missed the first session, you can catch it on our YouTube Channel. We can't wait for this second conversation and hope you can join us.   Register directly on Zoom HERE. NOTE: This program will be recorded and a video link will be sent to all registrants.  This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we're thrilled to be collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities. https://lunenburglibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-the-girl-bandits-of-the-warsaw-ghetto-with-historian-elizabeth-r-hyman-take-two/
