When we say “we’ve always been here” in queer history, we remind ourselves that LGBTQ+ people have existed in every time period, culture, and society throughout history — even if they were ignored, hidden, or erased from historical records.

The phrase challenges the idea that being queer is something “new” or modern. It reminds us that queer people have always been part of families, communities, art, politics, and everyday life, even when they were not openly accepted or recognized.

Queer history is Massachusetts history, and queer people have always existed.

This talk and discussion will be led by Meaghan Michel a local historian and former National Park Ranger steeped in this research. Meaghan will cover the early history of LGBTQ+ life in Massachusetts from the 1600s to the early 20th century.

Understanding queer history helps us recognize the struggles, achievements, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people throughout history. Learning about queer history builds empathy, challenges stereotypes, and shows how movements for equality and human rights are fundamental to us all.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Though best known for his reflections on simple living and principled resistance, Henry David Thoreau could also be cited for something equally compelling that a new book has explored in detail: Henry's sharp, innovative business instincts and inventive professional life. In this dynamic and surprising author talk, bestselling author Ken Lizotte outlines business and life lessons hidden within Thoreau's philosophy, beautifully drawn out from his groundbreaking book Walden for Hire: Business Lessons from Henry David Thoreau, recently published by HarperCollins Leadership.

While many associate Thoreau only with Transcendentalism, a love of nature, and his iconic work Walden, Ken's talk reveals a different dimension: Thoreau as an innovative strategic problem-solver and successful serial entrepreneur. Topics include:

· Henry's lucrative curiosity.

· Henry's success in diverse business arenas, e.g., farming, manufacturing, surveying, and marketing.

· His long-lasting success as a best-selling author.

· His ingenious profit-building methods were generated on his own terms.

· His creative career independence decades before today's "gig economy."

Lizotte's book thus brings to life Henry Thoreau's successful yet unconventional methods, revealing a polymath who didn't just reject the status quo but redesigned it. Come prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about Thoreau and leave with practical, timeless strategies for carving out your own unconventional business path.

Lizotte. Author Ken Lizotte CMC is Founder/CEO of Emerson Consulting Group Inc. This Concord-based firm has transformed over 400 business experts, professional service firms, private companies, and nonprofit organizations into "recognized thought leaders" by publishing books and articles that set them apart from the "competitive pack." He served for ten years as president of Thoreau Farm, the birthplace of Henry Thoreau, and is a full-fledged member of the Thoreau Society and the Concord Museum.

Miceli. Special guest Thomas Miceli, a published economist and emeritus professor of economics at the University of Connecticut, will join us to analyze Henry's two years on the shores of Walden Pond. He will explain not only how Henry's building costs were paid back but also how they led to a clear profit that endured throughout his life and long afterward... in fact, up to our present day!

Walden for Hire (Ken's tenth book) can be found at the Shop at Walden Pond as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores everywhere. He has been a columnist for HuffPost, Money Inc., the American Management Association, and Boston Magazine. He lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with his family and Golden Retriever Beckett in Concord's Thoreau Hills section, a brisk 4-mile run to Walden Pond and back

Join Fowler in Fact on the fourth Wednesday of the month to discuss a range of nonfiction titles from ecology to history and everything in between. We know it is close to lunchtime. Please feel free to bring a bag lunch, if you like.

For June we will discuss environmentalist Bill McKibben's latest book, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization. More than thirty-five years after publishing his first book warning about the climate crisis, McKibben offers some hope, if we act quickly. Sun and wind are now the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history. Join us to talk about his call to action.

Copies of the book are available to borrow at Fowler Branch and both the eBook and eAudiobook can be downloaded on Libby.

Films at Fowler continues in summer 2026 with Location, Location, Location!

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 summer is Location, Location, Location! The movies in this series are strongly reflected of and influenced by the environment and locale where the movie takes place.

Chinatown(1974)
Discussion date on Zoom: Wednesday, June 24 at 7 p.m

- John Huston’s acclaimed noir set in 1930s Los Angeles where private eye Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) becomes entangled in conspiracy, corruption, and murder.

Please watch the film on Kanopy before the discussion.

The most effective, memorable essays develop through an organic process of building from the specific details of the writer’s experience. Allan teaches students how to shape memory into material. The process positions students to write what only they can write, and to ask the questions that reveal the value of their experiences. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

“I have nothing to write about!”

That’s a common reaction from students facing the college-app essay project. From here, an emotional cycle can whirl: the initial doubt that gave rise to the statement invites further worry that obstructs creative thinking. The absence of progress makes the statement feel like fact. What’s true is that the statement is never true.

Other students may feel they have a promising idea for writing but struggle to find a way in.

This instructive writing lab for soon-to-be college applicants — and their parents! — helps students step beyond doubt or worry and toward possibility and progress.

The process positions students to write what only they can write, and to ask the questions that reveal the value of their experiences.

The pressure to appear exceptional can be paralyzing for applicants. Let’s replace that pressure with genuine curiosity, which turns out to be the engine behind exceptional essays.

Students and parents should come ready with pen, paper, and imaginations. Registrations preferred, but walk-ins permitted if space is available.

Join author Catherine Zebrowski for a reading from Me, Fran and the Shadow Man: A Sibling Memoir. Catherine has previously published two poetry chapbooks about her Irish roots that are available on Lulu and two novels that, along with the latest work, are available on Amazon. The reading will be followed by a Q&A and copies of the book will be available to purchase.

About the book:

Me Fran and the Shadow Man is a love letter to a brother who died too soon, a remembrance of a small town neighborhood in the 1960’s and scenes from the vibrant and changing city of Worcester, Massachusetts in the 1970s as two adolescents make their way toward adulthood. The author uses insight, both comic and tragic, to contemplate her brother’s short life and celebrate Worcester State where she attended college in the 1970s.
