SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: The Glass Château
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Glass Château by Stephen Kiernan\, a moving novel of hope\, healing\, and the redemptive power of art set in post–World War II France. In the aftermath of the war\, Asher\, a former Resistance assassin haunted by loss and guilt\, wanders through a devastated country searching for purpose. His journey leads him to the Château Guerin\, an unlikely sanctuary where damaged survivors find solace by transforming sand into stained glass for France’s shattered cathedrals. As Asher discovers his own talent for the craft\, he must navigate hidden identities\, lingering resentments\, and fragile alliances among the chateau’s residents. Through shared creation and hard-won trust\, the novel explores how broken individuals can begin to heal—and help rebuild a broken nation. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Water Security and Nutrient Transport with Ben Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Streams carry large amounts of sediment and nutrients like nitrogen\, phosphorous\, and carbon into lakes like Lake Champlain. While these nutrients are a natural part of aquatic ecosystems\, too much of them can fuel harmful cyanobacterial blooms that threaten ecosystem health\, drinking water quality\, and recreation. UVM grad student\, field scientist\, and data analyst Ben Kelley will leverage a decade-long monitoring effort of nutrient transport with machine learning from Self-Organizing Maps to present findings on the state of our water and what we can do to understand and reduce nutrient pollution.

SUMMARY:The Glacial History of the Lake Memphremagog Basin with Dr. Stephen Wright
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stephen Wright has been conducting fieldwork the past four years that focuses on understanding the evolution of glacial landscapes in the Northeast Kingdom. At this presentation he will outline our current understanding of what was happening in the region as the last big ice sheet that covered Vermont retreated northward toward the Québec border and beyond. Each of the rivers draining into Lake Memphremagog hosted a myriad of glacial lakes\, lakes much larger than the modern lakes that characterize this region: Lake Willoughby\, Crystal Lake\, and Lake Memphremagog. A rich and fascinating talk from a field scientist!

SUMMARY:Noontime Poetry Reading Society
DESCRIPTION:This group is for poetry readers\, poetry writers\, and the poetically curious alike! For the first half hour we take turns\, taking the lectern and reading aloud together from whole poetry collections. Whenever we finish one\, we vote on the next. We’re currently reading Women Poets from Antiquity to Now. The second half is devoted to poetic reflection\, news\, and the sharing of poems of your own (that you’ve written\, recently discovered\, or old faves). There’s a take–home prompt at the end for your own poetic practice. We hope to see you there!
