For millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes\, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain these processes. From deserts\, coastlines\, forests\, mountains\, and prairies\, Native communities across the US are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. The five stories include sustaining traditions of Hopi dryland farming in Arizona; restoring buffalo to the Blackfeet reservation in Montana; maintaining sustainable forestry on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin; reviving native food forests in Hawaii; and returning prescribed fire to the landscape by the Karuk Tribe of California. As the climate crisis escalates\, these time-tested practices of North America’s original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world. \nPlease register below to view the film.

Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 2015\, at age 55\, Worsley embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone.  In The White Darkness\, David Grann chronicles Worsley’s incredible journey.  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \nOur discussion will be held in a hybrid format.  The host will be in person at the BFL\, while some members will join over zoom.  You are welcome to join either way.  For zoom\, please register here to receive the meeting details: \n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - January 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfjan2023/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://baconfreelibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/WhiteDarkness_cover.jpg GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230130T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230130T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T062909 CREATED:20221129T224346Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221227T210347Z UID:40461-1675094400-1675098000@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Cinéphile Mondays DESCRIPTION:Cinephilia is an academic word literally meaning “love of cinema\,” but it also contains hints of nostalgia and passion for a film art that was undoubtedly the defining media experience of the twentieth century. \nAs such\, cinema has a variegated and fascinating history which extends well beyond the Hollywood we are all familiar with.  Meant as a tribute to the film art around the world\, from the days of silent cinema to the new waves and beyond\, our cinephile Mondays is a slow and tasteful appreciation of the First Century of Cinema.  The films will be selected on the basis of their relevance for the development of the film art.  On the last Monday of the month\, cinephiles of the world unite!  \nWatch a movie at home and then join Film history & Media studies Professor MV for a virtual discussion. \nFor Monday January 30\nwe will be discussing: Dead Man directed by Jim Jarmusch\, USA 1996. \nDVD available on the Minuteman Network HERE and Criterion HERE \nAlso available on the Criterion Channel.\n \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in attending this Zoom discussion\, please contact Graziella at glesellier@minlib.net URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/cinephile-monday-january-2/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://baconfreelibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CAMS2-small-e1590854043239.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230131T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230131T183000 DTSTAMP:20260404T062909 CREATED:20221205T210100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221222T163153Z UID:40514-1675184400-1675189800@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Cozy Night In Crafts DESCRIPTION:We’ll be embracing Hygge\, the Norwegian word for “cozy” this evening at the Bacon Free Library.

She’ll take us into the world of the photographer Weegee\, born Arthur Fellig\, who captured some of the grittiest scenes of New York City in the middle of the 20th century.  Much of Weegee’s work comes from his years trailing the city’s emergency service teams and documenting their crime scenes\, fires\, and day to day life.  He had success as a freelance news photographer\, yet was also taken seriously as an artist\, with his work being shown in the most prestigious museums of the time.  This lecture explores the mythology behind the photographer\, how a Ukrainian born man went on to be one of New York City’s most important artists. \nThis program is sponsored by The Friends of the Bacon Free Library. \nThis program will be held over Zoom.
