Boston Light â the first established Light Station in colonial America â began lighting the way for safe navigation into the fledging maritime port of Boston in 1716. The Fresnel Lens in the lantern room and fog signal apparatus situated on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor continues as an active Coast Guard maintained aid-to-navigation, today. Its notoriety in the maritime community as the âthe last manned Coast Guard Light Stationâ in the country came to a closure with the retirement of Sally Snowman, its 70th keeper. Sally Snowman will provide photos of Boston Lightâs 307 years of history and few photo anecdotes of from her experiences as a 21st Century Keeper.  Sally Snowman, Ph.D., Keeper of Boston Light 2003-2023, is an educator, author, and the USCG Boston Light historian. Husband, Jay Thomson and Sally have co-authored two books: Boston Light - A historical perspective (1999) and Boston Light - Arcadia Images of America (2016); and Sammy the Boston Lighthouse Dog written for children by Sally (2005). photo credit: USPS by Daniel Afzal https://norwellpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/boston-light-keeper-sally-snowman/

We will be reading:  The Women by Kristin Hannah Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances âFrankieâ McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harmâs way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.

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.
