SUMMARY:Unlock the Hidden Power of Dreams with Sleep Expert Michelle Carr (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to harness your dreams to improve your sleep and health with dream engineer Dr. Michelle Carr. In Nightmare Obscura\, Dr. Carr unlocks the science behind the sleeping body. Drawing on her expertise in nightmares\, lucid dreaming\, and the cutting-edge field of dream engineering\, she reveals how we can revolutionize our sleeping—and waking—health. \nTo most\, dreams are things that slip away when we reemerge into the waking world\, their remnants jumbled up and only half recalled. At their best\, they are populated by pleasant recollections and surreal experiences. But at their worst\, they can be traumatizing and prevent us from receiving the necessary benefits of sleep. \nSo why do we dream at all? What makes a person prone to nightmares? How do our bodies interface with our brains when we’re not awake? And how can we harness our sleeping minds to improve our waking lives? \nRegister now for a conversation you don’t want to miss! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Michelle Carr is the director of the Dream Engineering Laboratory in the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine\, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal\, and a former president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Alongside her research and work as a dream engineer\, she has published numerous scientific papers\, a popular Psychology Today blog\, and articles for New Scientist\, Aeon\, and Scientific American. Her book\, Nightmare Obscura: A Dream Engineer’s Guide Through the Sleeping Mind\, was published by Henry Holt\, in 2025. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium. \n\nThe views expressed by presenters are their own and their appearance in a program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

SUMMARY:Humor\, Heart\, and Reflective Rural Stories with Michael Perry (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry\, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the experiences–and the magic–of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them. \nIn Michael Perry’s memoir\, Population: 485\, the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible\, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives\, and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks\, bar fights and smelt feeds\, Perry tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy. \nJesus Cow\, Perry’s fiction debut\, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life. Low-key Harley Jackson finds himself entangled in drama from all corners: A woman in a big red pickup has stolen his bachelor’s heart\, a Hummer-driving predatory developer is threatening to pave the last vestiges of his family farm\, and inside his barn is a calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ–a secret he wants to keep quiet\, until the truth slips right through the barn door. \nRegister today to hear more about Perry’s expansive collection of stories! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author\, humorist\, corporate speaker\, volunteer firefighter/first responder\, and amateur snowplow driver. A lifelong resident of the rural Midwest\, his “reflective roughneck” takes on life in Middle America have left hundreds of thousands of readers and live audiences laughing\, nodding\, and sometimes misty. \nPerry\, a registered nurse who put himself through college working as a Wyoming cowboy and a roller-skating Snoopy produces the popular audio newsletter “Michael Perry’s Voice Mail\,” performs widely as a humorist and speaker\, tours with his band The Long Beds\, works as a script writer\, voiceover artist and audiobook narrator\, and still makes an occasional call with the local volunteer fire and rescue service. \nPerry lives in rural Wisconsin and can be found online at www.sneezingcow.com. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium. \n\nThe views expressed by presenters are their own and their appearance in a program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

SUMMARY:Mojos\, Mermaids\, Medicine\, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic with Dr. Lindsey Stewart (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book\, The Conjuring of America: Mojos\, Mermaids\, Medicine\, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic\, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women\, in secrecy and subterfuge\, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. \nConjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix\, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023)\, and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean. \nFrom the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores\, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now\, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history\, sourcing letters from the enslaved\, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used\, their herbs\, food\, textiles\, song\, and dance\, used to sow rebellion\, freedom\, and hope. \nJoin us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register for free today! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity\, Signs\, Hypatia\, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy\, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize. She lives in Memphis\, Tennessee. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium. \n  \n\nThe views expressed by presenters are their own and their appearance in a program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

While others see their work clothes as a disguise\, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman. \nFor the next twenty years\, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean\, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade\, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches.

SUMMARY:Secrets and Second Chances with Liz Moore (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Liz Moore to discuss her latest work\, The God of the Woods\, an instant New York Times bestseller and one of NPR’s 2024 “Books We Love” highlights. \nEarly morning\, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant\, Barbara Van Laar\, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents.

SUMMARY:Nature\, Art\, and Service as Medicine with Journalist Julia Hotz (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to jump start your new year with us as we chat virtually with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement\, Nature\, Art\, Service\, and Belonging. \nThe Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting\, moving patient success stories\, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing. Traditionally\, when we get sick\, health care professionals ask\, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world\, teams of doctors\, nurses\, therapists\, and social workers have started to flip the script\, asking “What matters to you?” \nScience shows that social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world’s most common ailments—depression\, ADHD\, addiction\, trauma\, anxiety\, chronic pain\, dementia\, diabetes\, and loneliness. By integrating age-old medicines like art\, nature\, movement\, and volunteer service into patient’s daily lives\, social prescriptions are radically changing health and healthcare in more than thirty countries. Julia Hotz travels around the world to survey them —sea-swimming lessons for depression\, “culture vitamins” for anxiety\,  a fishing club for ADHD\, a farm-based day-care for dementia\, a phone-buddy program for social isolation\, and many more. \nAs the first book on social prescribing\, The Connection Cure empowers you to find\, experience\, and implement this revolutionary medicine in your own community. The success stories Julia finds bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment\, we can change our health. By reconnecting to what matters to us\, we can all start to feel better. \nRegister today to find out how you can use the wisdom of social prescribing to live your best life! \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: Julia Hotz is a solutions focused journalist based in New York. Her stories have appeared in The New York Times\, WIRED\, Scientific American\, The Boston Globe\, Time\, and more. She helps other journalists report on the big new ideas changing the world at the Solutions Journalism Network. The Connection Cure is her first book. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium. \n  \n\nThe views expressed by presenters are their own and their appearance in a program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

SUMMARY:The Creative and Compassionate Art of Seeing Others Deeply with David Brooks (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion with prominent cultural writer and bestselling author David Brooks on his book\, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply\, in which he helps us pose essential questions: If you want to know a person\, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to? \nDriven by his trademark sense of curiosity and determination to grow as a person\, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and the worlds of theater\, philosophy\, history\, and education to present a welcoming\, hopeful\, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others\, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation\, hostility\, and misperception. \nThe act of seeing another person\, Brooks argues\, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them and\, in turn\, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection\, and yearning to be understood. \nRegister now to take part in a riveting and timeless conversation on how to connect with people from all walks of life\, and why doing so is paramount to our individual and communal growth. \nThis is a virtual program.  Please click HERE to register. \nAbout the Author: David Brooks is one of the nation’s leading writers and commentators. He is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times\, a writer for The Atlantic\, and appears regularly on PBS Newshour. He is the bestselling author of The Second Mountain\, The Road to Character\, The Social Animal\, Bobos in Paradise\, and On Paradise Drive. \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Lenox Library Association and Lee Bank\, and brought to you in partnership with Library Speakers Consortium. \n  \n\nThe views expressed by presenters are their own and their appearance in a program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

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.

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.
