Rachel Carson (1907-1964) was a science writer and biologist for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. We will be discussing her book, Silent Spring, "the classic that launched the environmental movement," when it was first published just over sixty years ago. Its publication led to to further study and then the banning of the pesticide, DDT. Copies are available for pick up at Fowler. Both the ebook and audiobook are available to download on Hoopla.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

What is Girls Who Code?
Girls Who Code was started in 2012 with the single mission to close the gender gap in technology. It is a national program designed to inspire, educate, and prepare girls with computing and problem-solving skills to pursue 21st-century opportunities. Girls with a curiosity about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, apps, and game development will learn about these interests and more in a fun and relaxed environment. Learn more about the Concord chapter of Girls Who Code directly from the girls with a website they created using HTML and hosted on Github. Visit: https://hubsct.github.io/

This beloved musical tells the tale of the fast-talking salesman Harold Hill as he arrives in River City with plans to charm the town, form a children’s band and make a quick buck. What happens next takes the entire town by surprise especially Marian, their uptight librarian, along with her younger brother, Winthrop, and their mother Mrs. Paroo.
Join us as we travel back to 1912 Iowa with a few musical highlights and a behind-the-scenes preview from the show's directors. Children (of all ages) will even have the opportunity to learn a portion of the "76 Trombones" dance routine that will appear on stage!
This event is held in partnership with The Concord Players. The Music Man will be playing from April 26 - May 11, 2024.

Concord Poetry at the Library Series presents Nadia Colburn and Sandra Lim
Sunday, April 7 from 3:00-4:15 PM
The Goodwin Forum, Main Branch
PLEASE REGISTER BELOW FOR A SEAT IN THE FORUM
Join us in celebrating National Poetry Month with the meditative and empathic Nadia Colburn and Sandra Lim. The poets will read and engage in a Q & A, followed by book signings and light refreshments.
Nadia Colburn reads from her new collection, I Say the Sky (University Press of Kentucky 2024). She is also the author of The High Shelf (The Word Works Press 2019). Her poetry and prose have appeared in more than eighty publications, including The New Yorker, American Poetry Review, The Kenyon Review, Spirituality & Health, Lion's Roar, and the The Yale Review. She holds a Ph.D. in English from Columbia University and is the founder of Align Your Story Writing School, which brings traditional literary and creative writing studies together with mindfulness, embodied practices, and social and environmental engagement. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her husband and two children. Find her at nadiacolburn.com, where she offers meditations and free resources for writers.
Colburn's profound and accessible I Say the Sky finds splendor and astonishment in a natural world – and a human world – that is deeply troubled yet still majestically beautiful. Both elegy and celebration, it addresses some of the most challenging aspects of human existence, from childhood trauma to environmental devastation, and discovers, in unexpected and clear-sighted ways, wisdom, wonder, and peace.

Sandra Lim reads from her latest collection, The Curious Thing (W.W. Norton 2021). Her previous books are The Wilderness (W.W. Norton 2014), winner of the Barnard Women Poets Prize selected by Louise Glück, and Loveliest Grotesque (Kore Press 2006). She has received the 2023 Jackson Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award, and the Levis Reading Prize. Her writing has appeared in The New York Review of Books, Poetry, The Baffler, Gulf Coast, The New Republic, and elsewhere. She is a Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and also serves on the poetry faculty in the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. Born in Seoul, Korea, she lives in Cambridge, MA. Visit her at https://sandralimpoet.com.
Lim’s The Curious Things offers compelling meditations on love, art making, solitude, female fate, and both the mundane and serious principles of life. Lim’s lucidity and tenderness form a striking complement to her remarkable metaphors and the emotional clamor of her material. Animated by a sense of reckoning and a piercing inwardness, these anti-sentimental poems nevertheless celebrate the passionate and empathetic subjective life.

Passionate about protecting both people and the Earth? Join us to learn about green transportation! We will read a few books together, and we will learn why turning car engines off when parked (no idling!) will help protect air quality and everyone's health. We'll talk about what we love about walking and biking, and then make signs together in preparation for Earth Month that will be posted at schools and in the community.
If weather permits, we will meet outside! Otherwise, we will meet in the Children's Activity Room.

Our adult and teen facilitators have a range of coding and project development skills. They teach and mentor participants, encouraging them to develop their abilities and confidence.
We do expect a commitment to weekly attendance. This year, we will meet in person in the workshop. Members are encouraged to bring their own computers if they can; otherwise, they can use a library laptop. We do not meet during school vacation weeks.
What is Girls Who Code?
Girls Who Code was started in 2012 with the single mission to close the gender gap in technology. It is a national program designed to inspire, educate, and prepare girls with computing and problem-solving skills to pursue 21st-century opportunities. Girls with a curiosity about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, apps, and game development will learn about these interests and more in a fun and relaxed environment. Learn more about the Concord chapter of Girls Who Code directly from the girls with a website they created using HTML and hosted on Github. Visit: https://hubsct.github.io/

For 26 years Concord film viewers gathered on winter evenings at Fowler Library to see some of the most interesting and stimulating examples of current and classic cinema from around the world. That movie series, now called Films at Fowler, changed to an online video streaming format in 2021 and continues in that format in 2024. Because we no longer meet in person, we now watch—on your own schedule—selected movies on Kanopy, a free streaming service available to Library patrons. We will then gather on Zoom on scheduled evenings for a lively movie discussion. The theme of the movies this spring is Faraway Places. The movies in this series will take us to locations where we’ll see and experience other people, other stories, and other parts of the world.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2022)
Discussion date on Zoom: Wednesday April 10 at 7 p.m
- A whimsical comic delight that combines live action with stop-motion animation. Dean, a documentary filmmaker, moves into a house and discovers Marcel, a one-inch-tall talking shell living in the house with his grandmother and his pet ball of lint. Dean befriends Marcel and begins filming his daily activities.
Please watch the film on Kanopy before the discussion.

Ellen Garrison, native daughter of Concord, was the granddaughter of a freedman who fought in the Revolutionary War and spent years traveling alone through the South to teach formerly enslaved people how to read and write, protected only by a paper “passport” to show she was a free person.
The residents of Altadena knew little of this hidden history, but they were willing to learn, listen, and honor this heroine in their midst. Veronica Jones, Vice Chair of the Town Council, decided to act. Ms. Jones has a deep passion for uncovering hidden histories. Through her work with the Altadena Historical Society, she spearheaded the placement of headstones on the graves of Ellen Garrison, her husband, and her sister. Additionally, two scholarships are awarded to local Altadena students in memory of Ellen Garrison. Thanks to the Altadena Historical Society and Veronica Jones, Ellen Garrison is celebrated every year on Juneteenth, honoring the hidden histories of Altadena.
This process her community has gone through creates lasting change and deeper inclusion for all segments of her community. Veronica will share their journey and lessons learned and discuss how this work can impact us all, no matter where we live.
Veronica Jones is a retired life-long resident of Altadena, California with vast experience in community development. She has worked extensively on public safety, infrastructure improvements, community-police relations, economic development, diversity and inclusion, and re-establishing relationships with local, state, and federal government. She is highly regarded in her community as a change agent, promoting integrity and economic growth.

With new research and a greater understanding of past events, we open new windows and opportunities to tell fuller stories of our community's people.…Learn More X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:For over 10,000 years, humans have lived in this area, which we know as modern Concord, yet many of their stories have not been entirely told. With new research and a greater understanding of past events, we open new windows and opportunities to tell fuller stories of our community's people.
From the Indigenous beginning of Musketequid to the encroachment of European arrivals, there are stories to be told. We will discuss the building of colonial Concord and the role of both free and enslaved Black, Indigenous, and people of color individuals whose labor and heroism helped to build this community. Between twenty and forty colonists who fought along the Battle Road on April 19, 1775, were of African descent or Indigenous people. Although excluded from required militia service before the war, these individuals of color were the first of many to take up arms between 1775 and 1783. Unfortunately, systemic racism and historical bias have erased or buried many records of Black and Indigenous people who played a prominent role in the founding of the United States. We will examine the known history and stories of these Patriots of Color who fought for freedom locally during the American Revolution and beyond.
Additionally, we will reflect on Concord's history around enslavement, the first generation of self-emancipated African-Americans, and the growth of Abolitionism. We see how these families strived to support themselves on the land and in the town and worked to shape their destinies as free men and women. We will discuss the Robbins, Garrison, and Dugan families by examining the incredible stories of individuals who risked everything while struggling for liberty, equality, and freedom for all.
Our discussion will conclude by examining 20th-century Concord and how its manifestation as a racially isolated community impacts and challenges its growth and development as a welcoming and inclusive community in the 21st century.
Ongoing learning together is helping our community answer these questions more fully. Who were we in the past? Who are we today? Who do we hope to become in the future?
Born and raised in Concord on a farm along Battle Road, Joe Palumbo works locally as an interpreter and tour guide. He is focused on sharing the well-known and the lesser-known local narratives as we work to broaden the story of all the people in our town. Currently, Joe serves as Chair of the Concord 250 Events Committee, Co-Chair of the Town DEI Commission, and is a Board member at The Robbins House.
This event is co-sponsored by Robbins House, Concord250, and The Concord Free Public Library's William Munroe Special Collections.

About the Instructor:
Jen's journey with speech and language began as a parent of a child with Apraxia of Speech. Working with her then-preschooler daily, she learned the fundamentals of language and articulation and saw the benefits of pairing speech and movement. When Jen discovered Talk Yoga she knew it would be perfect for her and her daughter and became a certified instructor in 2022. Jen has been a student of yoga for the past 20 years and is currently enrolled in her 200-hour teacher training. When not practicing yoga, Jen works as a graphic designer and art director. She loves creating and inspiring clients to reach their full potential. Outside of the yoga and design studio, she enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, reading, and spending time with family.

Please join us in the Goodwin Forum for a presentation and book signing with the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin for her newest book, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s.
One of America’s most beloved historians, Doris artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history. She takes us along on the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin embarked upon in the last years of his life.
Concord’s own Dick and Doris Goodwin were married for forty-two years and married to American history even longer. In his twenties, Dick was one of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier. In his thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted on his memoir.
Over the years, with humor, anger, frustration, and in the end, a growing understanding, Dick and Doris had argued over the achievements and failings of the leaders they served and observed, debating the progress and unfinished promises of the country they both loved.
The Goodwins’ last great adventure involved finally opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested.
Their expedition gave Dick’s last years renewed purpose and determination. It gave Doris the opportunity to connect and reconnect with participants and witnesses of pivotal moments of the 1960s. And it gave them both an opportunity to make fresh assessments of the central figures of the time—John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly impacted both their lives. The voyage of remembrance brought unexpected discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love story with America.

Doris Kearns Goodwin’s work for President Johnson launched her career as a presidential historian. Her first book was Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She followed up with the Pulitzer Prize–winning No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Homefront in World War II. She earned the Lincoln Prize for Team of Rivals, partly the basis for Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln, and the Carnegie Medal for The Bully Pulpit, about the friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Her last book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times, inspired the History Channel docuseries on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, which she executive produced.

Our adult and teen facilitators have a range of coding and project development skills. They teach and mentor participants, encouraging them to develop their abilities and confidence.
We do expect a commitment to weekly attendance. This year, we will meet in person in the workshop. Members are encouraged to bring their own computers if they can; otherwise, they can use a library laptop. We do not meet during school vacation weeks.
What is Girls Who Code?
Girls Who Code was started in 2012 with the single mission to close the gender gap in technology. It is a national program designed to inspire, educate, and prepare girls with computing and problem-solving skills to pursue 21st-century opportunities. Girls with a curiosity about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, apps, and game development will learn about these interests and more in a fun and relaxed environment. Learn more about the Concord chapter of Girls Who Code directly from the girls with a website they created using HTML and hosted on Github. Visit: https://hubsct.github.io/

For 26 years Concord film viewers gathered on winter evenings at Fowler Library to see some of the most interesting and stimulating examples of current and classic cinema from around the world. That movie series, now called Films at Fowler, changed to an online video streaming format in 2021 and continues in that format in 2024. Because we no longer meet in person, we now watch—on your own schedule—selected movies on Kanopy, a free streaming service available to Library patrons. We will then gather on Zoom on scheduled evenings for a lively movie discussion. The theme of the movies this spring is Faraway Places. The movies in this series will take us to locations where we’ll see and experience other people, other stories, and other parts of the world.
Past Lives (2023)
Discussion date on Zoom: Wednesday April 24 at 7 p.m
- In writer-director Celine Song’s awardwinning first film, Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), two deeply connected childhood friends in Seoul, are torn apart when Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Two decades later, they are reunited in New York where they confront notions of destiny, love, and their choices in life
Please watch the film on Kanopy before the discussion.
