The Nabis, whose name means prophet in Hebrew, were a group of artists whose spiritual, emotional and aesthetic inspiration came from Paul Gauguin and the Symbolist poets. They had one foot in the 19th Century and one foot in the 20th. Although they are not as famous as the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, the work of Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis, Vallotton, and their compatriots was just as innovative and original. Explore what stirred The Nabis to create works with expressive and transcendent connections to the divine in nature. Led by Janet Mandel, a retired 32-year art history teacher, who now presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at colleges & universities, libraries, museums, senior centers, and community centers. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. This program is hosted by the Tewksbury Public Library in partnership with other area libraries. https://westnewburylibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/who-are-the-nabis-and-why-don-t-i-know-these-amazing-artists/

Are you a Mystery fan? Ready to find out who done it? Join this lively group and tackle a new kind of mystery each month. For August we are reading and discussing IQ by Joe Ide.  All are welcome. "The LAPD can't keep up with the crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood is taking on the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ, a loner and high school dropout with a fierce intelligence and relentless determination, who charges whatever folks can afford."

New Zealand is home to many rare birds and marine mammals including the comical yellow-eyed penguin. Watch and listen as the yellow-eyed penguin returns from the ocean to feed its chick and the Antipodes Island parrot demonstrates “looks, personality and talent.” Not to be outdone, rare New Zealand sea lions make quite an impression as they interact on isolated South Island beaches, pods of rare Hector’s dolphins frolic near coastal shores and dusky dolphins play with kayakers as they travel deep into the fiords of southern New Zealand. Enjoy the sights and sounds of animal personalities from this amazing country.  Led by Joy Marzolf, owner of "The Joys of Nature," which runs nature, nature travel and live animal programs for all ages. Marzolf, a wildlife photographer, previously worked as a Naturalist and Educator at Mass Audubon’s Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary. Register directly on Zoom HERE.
