Norwell Public Library is excited to screen and discuss the Oscar-nominated short film A Lein (trailer). The film concerns the detention of undocumented US residents by ICE when those residents apply for green cards at an immigration center.  In this part one of four âIssues Facing Our Democracyâ series, part I will be facilitated by Paula and Irwin Nesoff (Progressive South Shore), focusing on current immigration issues with special guest Olivia Santoro from the ACLU of Massachusetts and Amy Grunder from MIRA (Director, State Government Affairs).  Information on Immigrant rights will be given out from ACLU Massachusetts and Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA). Olivia Santoro is the Deputy Field Director for Civic Education and Mobilization at the ACLU of Massachusetts. She primarily works with ACLU volunteers and community partners to engage them in civil rights and civil liberties advocacy at the state and local level. She also builds workshops and trainings to help people get the skills they need to be effective advocates in their community. Liv has been with the ACLU of Massachusetts for 8 years. Amy Grunder brings over 30 years of broad experience in human rights advocacy, law and communications to her role as MIRA Coalitionâs lead advocate for state legislation. In this role, she leads MIRAâs advocacy for the Physician Pathway Act and other state bills and budget legislation promoting immigrant rights, education, inclusion, health and safety, working in coalition with MIRA members and allies. A graduate of UMass Boston, Amy began her advocacy career doing communications and program work at two Boston-based human rights organizations, Cultural Survival and Physicians for Human Rights. Her passion for human rights and economic justice led her to pursue a JD and Master in International Affairs at American University. After graduating in 2002, she joined the Boston law firm of Palmer & Dodge LLP, where she took on her first pro bono asylum case. She subsequently began an appellate immigration asylum practice, and was appointed to the governing council of the Massachusetts Bar Association Immigration Law Section in 2010. She joined MIRA in 2015. immigration event flyer NPL Immigration Books This series is part 1 of our 4-part series, Issues Facing Our Democracy ( a film and discussion series) Issues Facing Our Democracy: LGBTQ+ (Part 2) - July 22nd 6:00-7:45 Issues Facing Our Democracy: Book Banning (Part 3) -September 17th 6:00-7:45 Issues Facing Our Democracy: Free Press (Part 4)- November 17th 6:00-7:45 https://norwellpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/issues-facing-our-democracy-immigration-part-1/

This month we will be reading: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Caused an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the âplay-based childhoodâ began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the âphone-based childhoodâ in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this âgreat rewiring of childhoodâ has interfered with childrenâs social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. (Goodreads) Books will be available at the circulation desk. https://norwellpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/npl-evening-book-group-tbd-19/

Join us as local author Rick Cochran tells us about his new book True to His Country: A Civil War Novel. Cochran crafts a compelling story based on his letters, a diary and decades of research. This historical novel follows the lives of the author's great-grandparents. Charlotte Scales was an Irish immigrant who was orphaned at eight when her parents died on the ship to America. She became the foster child of Jay & Julia Filley, the most prominent citizens of Bloomfield, Connecticut. In 1858, at sixteen, she married Chales Lambert Taylor, a twenty-eight-year-old, previously divorced farmer, despite the objections of her foster mother. In 1861, Charles enlisted in the Tenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry Regiment as a private. He fought for four years in scores of battles, survived typhoid fever, was wounded twice and rose to the rank 1st Sergeant of his company. This heart wrenching tale relates the progress and tragedy of the war as well as the worries of the daily life on the home front. This is a riveting tale of ordinary people living in the extraordinary times of our nation's greatest nightmare. Rick Cochran is the recipient of the coveted Kirkus Star Review for his novel Death at Bound Brook Pier. Rick grew up in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts where his father was the principal of the local high school. His murder mystery novels, Murder at Bound Brook (2017), Bound Brook Pond (2020) and Death at Bound Brook Pier (2021) are set in a fictional version of Wellfleet in 1952. He is also the author of the short-story memoir collections, Wellfleet Tales (2015) and Wellfleet Tales II - Confessions of a Wash-Ashore (2016) as well as a contributor to Cape Cod Life magazine and the Barnstable Patriot. He is a retired educator with degrees from Tufts and Northeastern. Rick still lives at the beach, just a different one, Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts. He is the creator of the facebook group, Wellfleet Tales, which shares old and new photos and stories of Wellfleet, Cape Cod. https://norwellpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/true-to-his-country-a-civil-war-novel/
