SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday Food Drive
DESCRIPTION:Giving Tuesday was created as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It is an opportunity for people around the world to come together to thank\, help\, give\, show kindness\, and share what they have with those in need.  \nIn that spirit of generosity\, Lenox Library will collect donations of non-perishable food items\, paper products\, and personal health care items between November 1 and December 2\, 2025. All donations will benefit the Lenox Food Pantry.  \nPlus\, your donation will go even further! For every item donated\, our friends at BIRCH Properties will contribute $1 to the Lenox Library Association\, supporting library programs and collections.  \nThat’s right — your donation can do double the good this Giving Tuesday\, December 2!  \nWe hope you’ll join us in nourishing our community’s bellies and brains. Every act of generosity\, no matter how small\, makes a difference.

SUMMARY:Courtly Intrigue and Whispers as Weapons with Historical Fiction Queen Philippa Gregory (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Coined as the “queen of British historical fiction\,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor (forthcoming October 14\, 2025). \nJane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. \nFor Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything. \nWith a rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over decades of writing\, Gregory’s return to the Tudors is a new definition of this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and unpredictable\, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers a \ncompelling parallel\, serving as both a powerful historical narrative and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty and betrayal\, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers this fall. \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Dr. Philippa Gregory is one of the world’s foremost historical novelists. She wrote her first ever novel\, Wideacre\, when she was completing her PhD in eighteenth-century literature and it sold worldwide\, heralding a new era for historical fiction. Her flair for blending history and imagination developed into a signature style and Philippa went on to write many bestselling novels\, including The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen. \nDr. Gregory studied history at the University of Sussex and was awarded a PhD by the University of Edinburgh where she is a Regent and was made Alumna of the Year in 2009. She holds an honorary degree from Teesside University\, and is a fellow of the Universities of Sussex and Cardiff. Philippa is a member of the Society of Authors and in 2016\, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Historical Fiction Award by the Historical Writers’ Association. In 2018\, she was awarded an Honorary Platinum Award by Neilsen for achieving significant lifetime sales across her entire book output. In 2021\, she was awarded a CBE for services to literature and to her charity Gardens for the Gambia\, and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

SUMMARY:Finding My Way with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us online and be one of the first to hear from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai about her astonishing memoir\, Finding My Way. Malala reintroduces herself to the world\, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. \nThrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life\, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds\, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love\, of anxiety and self-discovery\, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it\, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid\, often messy moments like nearly failing exams\, getting ghosted\, and meeting the love of her life\, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. \nFinding My Way is a vulnerable\, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity\, sharp humor\, and tenderness. It is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny and is a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself. \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Malala Yousafzai is an education activist\, the youngest-ever Nobel laureate\, bestselling author\, and award-winning film producer. She was born in Mingora\, Pakistan\, in 1997 and graduated from Oxford University in 2020. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

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.

SUMMARY:10 Years of Daring Heists and Lovable Outcasts in YA Fantasy with Leigh Bardugo (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Since publishing in 2015\, Leigh Bardugo’s highly popular Six of Crows has taken the world of YA literature by storm–and it’s not hard to see why. The complex fantasy setting\, thoughtfully-structured magic system\, and deliciously morally gray characters all collide in a world you won’t want to leave and you don’t have to! Join us as we pick the brain of the New York Times bestselling author herself\, celebrating the release of her Six of Crows (The Dregs Edition). \nKetterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone. . . . \nA convict with a thirst for revenge. \nA sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. \nA runaway with a privileged past. \nA spy known as the Wraith. \nA Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. \nA thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. \nSix dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first. \nIn celebration of its decade-old status\, the duology will be rereleased in special Dregs Edition paperback copies featuring beautiful new cover art by Harol Bustos\, black stained edges\, and updated maps. Whether you’re a new reader or a loyal fan\, register today to take part in the adventure! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Leigh Bardugo is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Familiar and Ninth House and the creator of the Grishaverse (now a Netflix original series)\, which spans the Shadow and Bone trilogy\, the Six of Crows duology\, the King of Scars duology—and much more. Her short fiction has appeared in multiple anthologies including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. She lives in Los Angeles and is an associate fellow of Pauli Murray College at Yale University. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

SUMMARY:Nuestra América: Stories of 30 Inspiring Latinas/Latinos Who Have Shaped the United States with Smithsonian Educators (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba and Emily Key as they discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history\, as well as their incredible contributions to the cultural\, social\, and political character of the United States. \nThe stories in Nuestra América cover each figure’s cultural background and childhood\, and their accomplishments or contributions to American history. A glossary of terms and discussion question-filled reading guide\, created by the National Museum of the American Latino\, encourages further research and exploration. The museum has featured twenty-three of these stories in its exhibition ¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States\, the first exhibition to feature U.S. Latino history at the national level. \nFeaturing beautifully illustrated portraits by Gloria Félix\, this is a book that children (and adults) will page through and learn from again and again. A must have for every school and home library to help students understand the American story! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Presenters: \nAdrián Aldaba\, a Chicago native\, is the national programs manager for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino. In this capacity\, he serves audiences of all ages by bringing the Latino Museum’s programs and content to communities where they live and thrive outside of the Washington\, D.C. area. He does this through the museum’s national leadership\, family\, and public programs for adults and intergenerational audiences. He also supports national K-12 efforts facilitating teacher workshops connecting the museum’s literacy initiatives and resources to educators across the nation. Aldaba co-authored Strategies for Engaging and Representing Latinos in Museums\, a free resource released by the American Alliance of Museums Latino Network. Aldaba joined the Smithsonian more than a decade ago after working as a research assistant for the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. He earned his A.B. cum laude in Romance Languages and Literatures from Harvard College. \nEmily Key is the assistant director of Learning and Public Engagement at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino where she developed the museum’s learning continuum and education vision centered on creating opportunities for visitors to experience\, learn\, reflect\, and transform by sparking curiosity and encouraging life-long learning. Key oversees national bilingual programming\, community engagement\, K-12 aligned educator resources\, publications\, and the Young Ambassadors Program\, a nationally recognized youth leadership program.Key is also responsible for the creation of the General Motors Learning Lounge and its correlative educational programming for the museum’s Molina Family Latino Gallery that opened in June 2022. Prior to the museum\, she led education efforts for the Smithsonian Latino Center and worked in the education department of the National Air and Space Museum. Key holds a graduate certificate in arts and culture strategy from the University of Pennsylvania and a BA from the George Washington University. \n**Note: While the book will be discussed\, please be aware the presenter may explore other topics in the related fields suiting their additional expertise. Presenters can be expected to be experts in the field; however\, for the Smithsonian and Library Speakers Consortium Collaboration they may not always be the author of the book being highlighted.** \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

SUMMARY:YA Book Club for ADULTS
DESCRIPTION:Are you 18 years old or older and love reading Young Adult books? Join our monthly YA for Adults Book Club to discuss new and classic titles! \nOur first meeting will take place on September 30\, 2025\, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. to discuss Looking For Smoke by K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet). Books will be available to check out from Lenox Library’s youth desk starting September 2\, 2025. Sign up for the club when you pick up your copy or email Vanessa Justice at vjustice@lenoxlib.org. Meetings will occur the last Tuesday of each month. \nBook Description: Looking For Smoke \nIn her powerful debut novel\, Looking for Smoke\, author K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet) weaves loss\, betrayal\, and complex characters into a thriller that will illuminate\, surprise\, and engage readers until the final word. A must-pick for readers who enjoy books by Angeline Boulley and Karen McManus! \nWhen local girl Loren includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet Giveaway to honor Loren’s missing sister\, Mara thinks she’ll finally make some friends on the Blackfeet reservation. Instead\, a girl from the Giveaway\, Samantha White Tail\, is found murdered. Because the four members of the Giveaway group were the last to see Samantha alive\, each becomes a person of interest in the investigation. And all of them–Mara\, Loren\, Brody\, and Eli–have a complicated history with Samantha. Despite deep mistrust\, the four must now take matters into their own hands and clear their names. Even though one of them may be the murderer.
