Let’s shed a little more light on our lives! Join us for a hands-on lantern light craft led by an instructor from Second Nature Arts! All materials will be supplied for this fun craft for adults! Together, we’ll explore the popular Danish and Norwegian concept of hygge; the experience of cozy contentment in everyday life. Taking inspiration from this idea, as well as artists who utilize light as their medium, we will then repurpose ordinary materials into playful illuminated sculptures for the spaces we inhabit.  Registration is required, as space is limited! This program is funded in part by a grant from the North Reading Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.  https://flintmemoriallibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/light-bright-art/

Please join us for Women of '76 - A Theatrical Tribute to Lesser Known Women of the American Revolution, appropriate for all ages 10+! Step back in time and discover the untold stories of 5 courageous women, both patriot and loyalist, American and foreign born, who witnessed, chronicled and in some cases changed the course of the American Revolution. A few of the remarkable women in this powerful theatrical presentation: A Massachusetts housewife who led an all-female militia to capture British spies A German baroness who followed her Hessian general husband into the British camps A fearless Georgian farmer’s wife who stood her ground against a Redcoat search party—alone And two more bold, forgotten heroines who helped shape a nation. Discover their courage. Hear their voices. Experience the Revolution. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Flint Memorial Library and the North Reading Historical & Antiquarian Society. This program is partially funded by the North Reading Cultural Council, a local agency, supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. About the performer: Rita Parisi is a celebrated actor, playwright, and the visionary behind Waterfall Productions, a touring theatrical company she founded in 2005.

Please note that this is a virtual program hosted by Ashland Public Library that will take place via Zoom. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email. Register directly on Zoom HERE. You can sign up for one session or for all! Welcome to our yearlong series in which “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler”, Heather Rogers, shares facts, factoids, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United States. This month we're all about John Adams: His vice presidency was the only time the president and VP were from different parties. He was the first POTUS to live in the White House; and he never enslaved anyone. Don't you want to know more? In 2026, journey through Heather's sketchbooks as she shares some of her favorite tidbits, doodles, observations, and resurrection stories about the first 12 presidents.   RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. About Heather: Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator. To keep her interest during her accidental spite project, Heather Rogers filled hundreds of sketchbook pages doodling her way through presidential biographies. Doing so heightened her curiosity and turned her into an insufferable presidential nerd. Along the way, she discovered unexpected threads connecting seemingly unconnected people, times, and events. She can’t get enough of the weird trivia, coincidences, and quirks. Like the fact that English wasn’t the first language of the first president born in the U.S. Or that a three-part plan was proposed to bring George Washington back to life. Don’t even get her started on William Henry Harrison – he was only president for a month, but she could talk about him for hours. *All illustrations for this series have been created by Heather Rogers and are her property therein. Please register for this event and you'll receive the link in the confirmation and reminder emails - make sure to check your spam folder for them, the email will be coming from Zoom. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Flint Memorial Library and is in collaboration with a multitude of MA and NH libraries. https://flintmemoriallibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-presidential-series-with-doodler-heather-rogers-john-adams/
