SUMMARY:"Our Earth" Book Discussion Club
DESCRIPTION:Starting from a common base to have real discussions about the environment\, this book discussion club is a great way to deepen ideas\, have respectful debates while listening to the points of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this important topic. Together\, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine new sustainable and desirable horizons. \nThis month’s selection is Turning to stone: discovering the subtle wisdom of rocks\, by Marcia Bjornerud. Rocks are the record of our creative planet reinventing itself for four billion years. Nothing is ever lost\, just transformed. Marcia Bjornerud’s life as a geologist has coincided with an extraordinary period of discovery. From an insular girlhood in rural Wisconsin\, she found her way to an unlikely career studying mountains in remote parts of the world. As one of few women in her field\, she witnessed the shift in our understanding of the Earth\, from solid object to an entity in a constant state of transformation. In the most tumultuous times of her own life\, a deep understanding of our rocky planet imbued her life with meaning. The lives of rocks are long and complex\, spanning billions of years and yet shaping our own human lives in powerful\, invisible ways. Sandstone that filters out pathogens creating underground oases in aquifers of clean water. Ecologite is “the chosen rock” whose formation keeps the planet running. Earth is not just a passive backdrop\, or a source of resources to be mined\, extracted\, and carved out. Rocks are full of wisdom\, but somewhere along the way many of us have forgotten how to hear it. When we are uncertain about where to find truth\, a geocentric worldview reminds us that we are Earthlings\, part of a planetary community where we can find wisdom in the most unlikely places. \nA limited number of copies will be available at the Check Out Desk.

SUMMARY:Anthropocene Visions and Voices by Keith Kozloff
DESCRIPTION:Anthropocene refers to the current period of Earth’s history\, in which human presence has become evident in geologic strata. The popularized term refers to global long-term impacts from cumulative human activities. Erratic progress in caring for Earth\, as well as my career addressing environmental issues\, motivated me to assemble this exhibit. Accordingly\, I created some pieces to suggest humanity’s fraught relationships with Earth and its non-human beings. \nI chose other pieces to imagine events in deep time in which Earth is oblivious to human inhabitants. The satirist George Carlin once said “Compared to the people\, the planet is doing great: been here four and a half billion years! …The planet has been through a lot worse than us. …We’re going away and we won’t leave much of a trace….The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas…” \nI also wanted to complement visual art with written voices calling out from the Anthropocene. Given the multi-generational implications of the exhibit’s subject matter\, I commissioned a group of local poets\, from early teens to late 70s\, to express their reactions to the artwork. I am hoping that the combination of visual art and poetry will invite viewers to reflect on what kind of ancestors they would like to be. \n The exhibit will be up October 26 through November 22. Gallery hours are 1:00-6:00 Thursday through Sunday.

SUMMARY:Mystery Book Club at Connie Morella Library: "A Bad Day for Sunshine"
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Connie Morella Mystery book club! We will be reading mysteries\, thrillers and whodunits together every month. This October\, we will be discussing A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones. \nSheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o’ joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol\, New Mexico\, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose. \nDel Sol\, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers\, strong cups of coffee–and\, now\, a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff–thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her–and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug. But a teenage girl is missing\, a kidnapper is on the loose\, and all of this is reminding Sunshine why she left Del Sol in the first place. Add to that the trouble at her daughter’s new school\, plus and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy\, and\, well\, the forecast looks anything but sunny. \nBut even clouds have their silver linings. This one’s got Levi\, Sunshine’s sexy\, almost-old-flame\, and a fiery-hot US Marshal. With temperatures rising everywhere she turns\, Del Sol’s normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger. Can Sunshine face the call of duty–and find the kidnapper who’s terrorizing her beloved hometown–without falling head over high heels in love…or worse? \nCopies of the book can be picked up at the front desk at the Connie Morella Library\, or you can borrow a digital copy from our online collection here.
