LIBRARY EVENTS FOR OCTOBER
The Far Traveler:
Voyages of a Viking Woman
A
Special Evening Sponsored by the
Vermont Humanities Council
Thursday
Oct 10th
7 pm
According to the medieval Icelandic sagas, a Viking woman came to the New World 500 years before Columbus. Gudrid the Far-Traveler, sister-in-law of the explorer Leif Eriksson, tried to set up a colony on the shores of the Gulf of St Lawrence around the year 1000.
While this story was long thought to be a myth, author Nancy Marie Brown tells how more and more of Gudrid’s story is being proved true by recent archaeological digs in Newfoundland, Greenland, and Iceland.

Bridges Movie:
Wednesday

The film looks at the decades-long effort to overturn Roe v. Wade,
one of the most divisive sociocultural and sociopolitical issues of modern history and one the highest court in the land could drastically change now that it has a conservative majority.
Directed and produced by Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg,
Reversing Roe examines the polarizing history of the pro-choice and pro-life movements in the United States after Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the 1973 Supreme Court decisions that legalized abortion, and highlights the intensifying battle for women's reproductive rights in the U.S.
Book Group for October
Song of Solomon
by Toni Morrison
Monday
October 28
Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly.
With this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez. As she follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, Morrison introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized black world.
New Display of Photography
by Kathryn Wyatt
Kathryn’s love of photography took her to Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, where she developed her artistic eye and also discovered Fiber Arts. After graduating with a BFA, she escaped the city and moved to the green mountains of Vermont
.
Marriage, a move to Maine, two children and many animals hijacked her creative pursuits for some time, until an unexpected gift from her grandfather of a new camera rekindled her original love of taking photographs. Now, daily walks with the camera have once again become Kathryn’s place of refuge. She continues to find unexpected joy in the quiet spaces between the chaos of everyday life.

Cirqe

In West Mills
by De'Shawn Charles Winslow
Set in an African American community in rural North Carolina from 1941 to 1987, In West Mills is a magnificent, big-hearted small-town story about family, friendship, storytelling, and the redemptive power of love.
