Join us for a discussion of this month's book, The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. New members are always welcome! Copies of the book may be available at the Ask Desk. *This month's discussion will take place on the fourth Thursday, due to Madison Public Library's closure for staff inservice on 5/15. Synopsis: In the near future, a civil servant is hired to work as a âbridgeâ: living with, assisting, and monitoring an âexpatâ taken from another time to monitor the effects of time travel. Sheâs assigned to the expat Commander Graham Gore, who, as far as history is concerned, died on Sir John Franklinâs doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic. A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all.

Mindfulness is the art of paying attention, of listening to your heart. Rather than worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, mindfulness can help you enjoy life more fully, effectively, and peacefully. Join us when you can to learn simple mindfulness and meditation techniques that can be incorporated into your everyday routine to reduce your stress and increase your well-being. Typically, each session will begin with a brief check-in, followed by a guided sitting meditation. Then Gloria will share reflections on some aspect of mindfulness. The group will discuss the topic and ask any questions about the practice. We will end with another sitting meditation. Experience in mindfulness or meditation is not necessary. This program is being offered both in-person and online through Zoom. If you would like to join by Zoom, please register below. Registration is not necessary for in-person attendance.
