Join us for our next Great Courses: The Human Journey. Each week we will view a 30 minute lecture together on Zoom and have a short discussion afterwards.To get the Zoom link, please register by clicking here.About The Human Journey:Humans have been on a remarkable journey these past 300,000 years. We started in Africa and slowly spread across the globeâcrossing land bridges, sailing into the unknown, and eventually building cities and civilizations. While our primate cousins stayed where they evolved, we moved. Migration isnât just something we didâitâs a defining trait of our species. Now, after filling the planet, weâre on the move againânot chasing new frontiers, but escaping rising seas, extreme heat, political instability, and economic stress.The Human Journey covers this epic story in 12 half-hour lectures taught by award-winning science writer, author, and broadcaster Gaia Vince. Few presentations have the scope of this course, taking you from the Stone Age to the future, and featuring topics in anthropology, genetics, archaeology, economics, psychology, and Earth science. Throughout the course, the focus is on the unifying theme of migration.You learn about key factors that make migration possibleâlike cooperation, fire, and carrying technology. These developments let us organize hunts, cook food, and transport essentials. You also explore how interbreeding with Neanderthals and Denisovans passed down genes that helped us thrive in climates where we couldnât otherwise live. And looking ahead, you consider the great waves of migration that are now being set in motion by climate change. As a migrating species, weâll adaptâjust as we always have.

Barbara Thorson is your new hero. A quick-witted, sharp-tongued fifth grader who isnât afraid of anything â not the principal, not bullies, NO ONE. Why would she be..? After all, sheâs the only girl in school who carries an ancient Norse warhammer in her purse and kills giants for a livingâŚAt least, thatâs what sheâll tell youâŚbut where does the fantasy end and reality begin in the heart of this troubled girl? And what if sheâs telling the truth?Brought to life with unexpected tenderness by JOE KELLY and KEN NIIMURA, I KILL GIANTS is the quirky, bittersweet story of a young girl struggling to conquer monsters both real and imagined as her carefully constructed world crumbles at the feet of giants bigger than any one child can handle.

Click here to register for this virtual talk and submit questions for the author.Join us for an unforgettable experience as we chat online with Vanessa Riley about her newest book, Fire Sword and Sea, based on the folk story of the female pirate Jacquotte Delahaye.The Caribbean Sea, 1675. Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender.Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with LizzĂ´a d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, LizzĂ´aâs true self is as a woman.For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation.Donât miss out on this exciting discussion!

The Melody Circle is an all ages music appreciation club where we gather together to celebrate music. This can take many forms. We can spin vinyl records and discuss the finer points of the recording process, pop in a cassette, or stream your favorite playlists! We could also sit and reminisce about our favorite concert memories or musicians that had an impact on our lives. Another idea would be to play around with our collection of ukuleles, tinker with our drum machine, or explore the shimmering magic of a 12-string guitar!The point is, let's enjoy music together. You do not have to be a music expert to join The Melody Circle. This program is intended for patrons of all ages. Registration is recommended, but not required. We'll gather on the first Saturday of each month, starting on January 3, from 12 pm-3 pm.*Special Note*This program is taking the place of The Wax Sessions.

Join us on the 1st Saturday of each month from 1:30pm-3pm for a social meeting group for people with memory loss and their care partners. We will enjoy light conversation, some home-baked cookies and brownies, and a fun activity. We hope to create a community that promotes new friendships among people who are living with memory loss.

However, we are not a support group and there will not be speakers educating about dementia. Additionally, there is no fee to attend, and people experiencing any stage of memory loss are welcome to participate.

(Formerly the Sunday Book Club)Join us to discuss The Alice Network by Kate Quinn at 2pm in the large meeting room. Synopsis: "It's 1947 and American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family. She's also nursing a fervent belief that her beloved French cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive somewhere. So when Charlie's family banishes her to Europe to have her "little problem" take care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister. In 1915, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance to serve when she's recruited to work as a spy for the English. Sent into enemy-occupied France during The Great War, she's trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the "Queen of Spies", who manages a vast network of secret agents, right under the enemy's nose. Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. Until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades, and launching them both on a mission to find the truth...no matter where it leads"--Provided by publisher.No registration required.

Join us for Socrates CafĂŠ, our long-running discussion group where we come together to share ideas, explore different viewpoints, and question our assumptions in a respectful, welcoming space.With Valentineâs Day around the corner, letâs talk about that four-letter word: LOVE.When you hear âlove,â do you think first of romance or a soulmate? Are we meant to spend our lives searching for our missing half, as Aristophanes suggests in Platoâs Symposium? In his story, humans were once round beings, twice our current size. As punishment for their behavior, Zeus split each person in twoâleaving us forever longing for our other half. From this view, love becomes a search for wholeness and connection.But are we really incomplete without a partner? What about love for family, friends, or even pets? Is love always a good thing? Is it something we need to live well? And what if we find love and lose itâor never find it at all?Come ready to listen, share, and wonder together.Light refreshments will be provided.

Scratch Lab: Code Your Story! is a guided, hands-on library program for children ages 7â12 that introduces computer programming through Scratch using activity cards completed as a class. Each card represents a specific coding activity, and the group works through the cards together, step by step, with the librarian leading discussion and demonstrations.At the start of each activity, the librarian introduces a card, explains the goal, and models the steps on a shared screen. Participants then complete the same activity on their own computers, with time for questions and experimentation before moving on to the next card. This shared pace ensures that all learners build skills together while still allowing room for creativity.

Join us for our next Great Courses: The Human Journey. Each week we will view a 30 minute lecture together on Zoom and have a short discussion afterwards.To get the Zoom link, please register by clicking here.About The Human Journey:Humans have been on a remarkable journey these past 300,000 years. We started in Africa and slowly spread across the globeâcrossing land bridges, sailing into the unknown, and eventually building cities and civilizations. While our primate cousins stayed where they evolved, we moved. Migration isnât just something we didâitâs a defining trait of our species. Now, after filling the planet, weâre on the move againânot chasing new frontiers, but escaping rising seas, extreme heat, political instability, and economic stress.The Human Journey covers this epic story in 12 half-hour lectures taught by award-winning science writer, author, and broadcaster Gaia Vince. Few presentations have the scope of this course, taking you from the Stone Age to the future, and featuring topics in anthropology, genetics, archaeology, economics, psychology, and Earth science. Throughout the course, the focus is on the unifying theme of migration.You learn about key factors that make migration possibleâlike cooperation, fire, and carrying technology. These developments let us organize hunts, cook food, and transport essentials. You also explore how interbreeding with Neanderthals and Denisovans passed down genes that helped us thrive in climates where we couldnât otherwise live. And looking ahead, you consider the great waves of migration that are now being set in motion by climate change. As a migrating species, weâll adaptâjust as we always have.

Scratch Lab: Code Your Story! is a guided, hands-on library program for children ages 7â12 that introduces computer programming through Scratch using activity cards completed as a class. Each card represents a specific coding activity, and the group works through the cards together, step by step, with the librarian leading discussion and demonstrations.At the start of each activity, the librarian introduces a card, explains the goal, and models the steps on a shared screen. Participants then complete the same activity on their own computers, with time for questions and experimentation before moving on to the next card. This shared pace ensures that all learners build skills together while still allowing room for creativity.

Click here to register for this virtual talk and submit questions for the author.Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewartâs book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Womenâs Magic, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. Conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinaryâfrom traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemimaâs Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disneyâs The Little Mermaid (2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean.From the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.Join us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of Americaâs founding Black women.

Are you an outgoing, friendly, responsible teen (aged 13-17) who is good at babysitting and needs some volunteer service hours for application into the National Honors Society or Junior Honors Society? Middletown Free Library is hosting a babysitting night in which teens will babysit elementary aged students during the fundraiser for adults. The library is opening registrations for Teens who want to apply to be babysitters for this event. All Teens must have parent/guardian permission before applying, and must have experience with little kids. Accepted Teens will earn volunteer service hours that can be used to help complete a school community service-hours requirement. Friday Feb. 13th from 5:30-9:00PM MFL Fundraiser Adult Wine and Cheese Party and Children's Babysitting Night. For this event, adults attending the fundraiser can drop off their children in the Children's section of the library while the adults attend the adult-only Wine and Cheese fundraiser in the Main section of the library. We need teen volunteers to babysit the elementary-aged children. The ratio would be one-teen-to-one-child while the adult library staff supervise in the Children's section. Dinner is NOT provided. However, we will provide snacks and water for the teens and children, as well as toys, games, puzzles, etc. Teens will complete a checklist of fun activities with their assigned kid, including helping their kid do a scavenger hunt, coloring a coloring page, reading books to their kid, completing a puzzle, making a craft, playing other games, and helping clean up afterward. Teens would also need to escort their assigned kid back and forth to the restroom if needed (waiting outside the restroom as no children or teens are allowed to wander into the Main section of the library during the Wine and Cheese Party). For this event, we can ONLY accept teen volunteers who are responsible, who are good at following directions and setting a good example, and who are ready to work with kids. The library cannot accept volunteers who are doing court-ordered community service for this volunteering opportunity. No cell-phone usage while volunteering/babysitting the kids. By registering for this event, you agree to apply and be contacted/interviewed by Miss Libby to go over rules and expectations for the babysitting. Miss Libby will inform you if you have been accepted as a babysitter volunteer. If students are not able to comply with rules/expectations for the babysitting event, they will not be able to volunteer to babysit. Teens must have parent/guardian's permission to apply. Registration is REQUIRED as there are only a limited amount of application/volunteering spots available. Contact Miss Libby for more details: [email protected] As a reminder, all volunteers aged 18 and up MUST have volunteer clearances.
