Writer, actor, and teacher Peter Gould will read from his brand new novel for young adults, Red Nose Girl, on Tuesday, April 7, at 6:30 p.m. in the Parker Ladd Community Room. The Galaxy Bookshop will be on hand with copies of the book for sale!
Lettie and Trevor are best friends in tenth grade, somewhere in Vermont. Lettie is a White girl who wears a red nose. Trevor is Black and gay; he wears theatrical costumes to school. They’re making a movie. They drink a lot of coffee. Red Nose Girl is Lettie’s story about how their Advanced Placement U.S. History research project led them to confront the For-Profit Prison system in Vermont and, actually, everywhere. For Lettie, it’s personal. For Trevor, it’s way more than that.
Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice by Virginia Roberts Giuffre is the basis for a three-session community book group in partnership with AWARE. The discussions will be held at the Jeudevine on Tuesday, April 14, 21, and 28 from 5:30-7 PM. Registration to attend is through AWARE at awareyouth@vtlink.net
The first 10 people to register will be offered a FREE book, supported in part by Vermont Humanities. Purchasing your own copy from the Galaxy Bookshop means 20% of the purchase price will go to support AWARE.
This book includes themes of sexual violence. Participants are encouraged to care for themselves in whatever way feels right. This is not a therapy group. However, support and resources are available. Open to community members, allies, and survivors.
Do you want to learn more about beavers and how communities can live alongside them? Join the Jeudevine and the Town of Hardwick for a lively presentation on the lives of beavers and the strategies people are using to coexist with them.
Beavers are built for the water and cannot live without it. That is why they are so dedicated to building dams to hold water in place. As beavers move upstream and downstream, creating new ponds, the areas they leave behind gradually become meadows and shrublands. These changing landscapes provide important habitat for many plants and animals, from moose to mink. Because of this, beavers are considered a "keystone" species—one that plays a critical role in supporting many other species.
This presentation will explore beaver ecology, the benefits beavers bring to watersheds, and the tools communities use to reduce conflicts while allowing beavers to continue creating valuable wetland habitat.
Patti Smith is a naturalist with the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center in Brattleboro.
Skip Lisle is a biologist, founder of Beaver Deceivers International, and a leading expert on beaver management and beaver-related ecosystems.
