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:Owl Banding with Berkshire Bird Observatory
DESCRIPTION:Fall is here—the leaves are turning\, the temperatures are dropping\, and soon Saw-whet Owls will be migrating into our region! \nOur friends from Berkshire Bird Observatory (BBO) invite you to an evening owl banding session just for Lenox Library patrons on Tuesday\, November 4\, 2025 at 7:45 p.m. at Jug End State Reservation in Egremont. \nEach fall BBO bands Northern Saw-whet Owls as part of a collaborative effort to learn more about the movements and population trends of these secretive\, nocturnal birds.  They open nets only on nights with relatively cold temperatures and north winds to maximize capture rates.  On nights when conditions are suitable\, BBO bands for four hours per night\, starting at sunset\, using a single\, x-shaped array of four mist nets centered on an audio lure. Curious owls come down from the sky during migration and when we are lucky some of these owls end up in the nets.  Once captured\, BBO bands each owl and collects data on age\, sex\, body condition and molt before releasing them back into the night sky. \nDon’t miss your chance to see these magical birds; please register here.  Registration is limited to 20 participants.  BBO will send confirmations the day of the banding session. \nIn the event of inclement weather\, the session will be held the following evening on November 5\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity with Award-Winning Journalist Joseph Lee (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to learn from journalist and author Joseph Lee as he chats online with us about his stirring memoir\, Nothing More of This Land: Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. In it\, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. \nGrowing up Aquinnah Wampanoag\, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today\, especially as tribal land\, culture\, and community face new threats. Starting with the story of his own tribe\, which is from the iconic Martha’s Vineyard\, Lee tackles key questions around Indigenous identity and the stubborn legacy of colonialism. \nLee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders\, artists\, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity\, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like. \nRegister now to join the author online as he delves into the true and vulnerable story\, Nothing More of This Land. \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Joseph Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer based in New York City. He has an MFA from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University. His writing has been published in The Guardian\, BuzzFeed\, Vox\, High Country News\, and more. He was a Margins Fellow at the Asian American Writers Workshop and a Senior Indigenous Affairs Fellow at Grist. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.

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 Search for Truth and the Persistence of Love Across Time with Novelist Amanda Peters (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in an online conversation with acclaimed writer Amanda Peters as we discuss her instant bestselling novel\, The Berry Pickers\, as well as her tender short fiction collection\, Waiting for the Long Night Moon: Stories. \nInfluenced by Peters’ own Mi’kmaq heritage\, The Berry Pickers is a riveting exploration of family\, grief\, and the bonds we share. \nJuly 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family’s youngest child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother\, Joe\, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. \nIn Maine\, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. \nThe Berry Pickers is an intimate portrait of race\, love\, and loneliness–and the power of forgiveness. Register now to take part in the discussion! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Amanda Peters is a mixed-race woman of Mi’kmaq and European ancestry\, born and raised in the Annapolis Valley\, Nova Scotia. Her short fiction and non-fiction have been published in The Antigonish Review\, Grain Magazine\, The Alaska Quarterly Review\, The Dalhousie Review\, and Filling Station Magazine. \nAmanda’s first novel\, The Berry Pickers\, was a finalist for the Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize in Canada\, and won the Barnes and Noble Discover Prize and the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction in the US. The Berry Pickers won the Dartmouth Book Award and the Crime Writers of Canada First Crime Novel Award\, and has been translated into sixteen languages around the world. Her most recent book of short fiction\, Waiting for the Long Night Moon\, was published August\, 2024\, to critical acclaim. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium.
