SUMMARY:A History of Lenox by George H. Tucker Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Lenox Library is delighted to announce the publication of A History of Lenox by Lenox local and former country treasurer\, George H. Tucker. This book is nearly 90 years old and yet it has never been published – until now\, in a new\, enhanced edition. \nGeorge H. Tucker was in the midst of writing A History of Lenox when his sudden death in 1936 left his manuscript unpublished. It was donated to the Lenox Library in 1959 as part of the Rockwell Papers Collection. Decades later\, many additional manuscript pages were discovered while completing a full inventory of the Rockwell Papers Collection. After years of reorganization\, editing\, and the addition of new material\, all the disparate manuscript pages have been integrated into A History of Lenox. \nJoin Information Librarian Christy Córdova and Lenox Library volunteer Jim Biancolo as they present this excellent historical and educational resource for local residents\, researchers\, and anyone with an interest in the history of Lenox\, Massachusetts. \nFrom the book jacket description: A History of Lenox describes the people and the town of Lenox\, Massachusetts\, from its 1767 incorporation to its years as the Shire Town of Berkshire County and a center of industry\, to its reputation as a Gilded Age oasis. It includes local stories\, biographies of more than 100 early residents\, and 121 illustrative historical images.

SUMMARY:Hutch and Cap: The First Two Fire Chiefs
DESCRIPTION:**NOTE: Change of Venue** \nChiefs Oscar “Hutch” Hutchinson and Edward “Cap” Conklin led the Lenox Fire Department for the first 71 years of its inception. Each brought common sense and ingenuity in equal measure to their role. Both were in military service: Hutch as a Captain in the Massachusetts State Guard and Cap as a WWII Lieutenant with a Purple Heart. \nJoin Local History Librarian Amy Lafave at Lenox’s new Public Safety Complex (227 Housatonic Street) as she tells the story of these two intrepid men. The calamitous fire of the morning of Easter Sunday 1909\, which spurred the creation of the department\, also will be covered.  \nThe presentation will be held in the Community Room off the lobby entrance of the facility\, and will last about 45 minutes\, with time for questions and reminiscences to follow.  \nWe are pleased to be a part of the Open House for the Public Safety Complex. The event will be held from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.\, beginning with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Vintage and modern public safety equipment will be on display\, with opportunities to tour the new building. \nThere will be no parking at the Complex\, but you may park at LMMHS and take the provided shuttle.

SUMMARY:The Jazz Barn by John Gennari Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Lenox Library is pleased to launch the latest release by John Gennari\, Professor of English and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of Vermont. \nThe Jazz Barn: Music Inn\, the Berkshires\, and the Place of Jazz in American Life tells the story of what happened in the 1950s in a barn\, an icehouse\, and a greenhouse in the verdant Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. Gennari explores how Lenox\, a predominantly white New England town became a haven for African American musicians\, and reveals the Berkshires as an important incubator not just of American literature and classical music but also of the Modern Jazz Quartet and Ornette Coleman’s “new thing.” \nIllustrations for the book include iconic photos by Clemens Kalischer (1921-2018)\, whose works will be on exhibit in the Welles Gallery. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the launch.
