Programs

Home Brewing Basics – Tuesday, March 20^th – 6:30 pm – 7:30pm

Home brewer, Charles O’Connor, will discuss the basics you need to know to make your own beer at home. If you have samples of your own home brewed beer, feel free to bring them in to share with the group. [NOTE: There will be sharing to bring samples home—no drinking in the library, folks]

Mapping a Sense of Place – Saturday, March 24^th 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

What IS a map? Why would anybody make one? How do you decide what to put on the map and what to leave out? Mapping is a way of showing what matters, of demonstrating ownership, of recording important places with lines, dots and symbols. With your map you can show someone how to get to somewhere or help them recognize a place that’s important.

In this workshop, led by Julia Shipley, we’ll get inspiration by examining all kinds of maps. We’ll explore how they reveal information about different places and terrains. Then we’ll try our hand at making memory maps, event maps, and other kinds of maps of the places we know best: our houses, rooms, woods, gardens, trails, neighborhoods, fields, barns, streams....Materials will be provided

Susannah Blachly with Two Shoes Off – Saturday, March 31^st – 7:00 pm

Immersed in the joy of northern New England’s rich musical traditions, Vermont’s Two Shoes Off fuses the well-loved sounds of fiddle, guitar and mandolin with percussion and fine vocals, bringing to the stage a blend of old time jamming, Celtic melodies, American song-styles and world-beat rhythms. With original writing as their foundation, Two Shoes Off offers a fresh approach to traditional music that is by turns fun, funky and deeply moving. Two Shoes Off members include Susannah Blachly, George White, Dan Haley & Carter Stowell.
