SUMMARY:Virtual Author Visit with Sy Montgomery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation with the fascinating bestselling author\, Sy Montgomery!  \nWhile researching articles\, films\, and her 21 books for adults and children\, nationally bestselling author Sy Montgomery has been chased by an angry silverback gorilla in Rwanda\, hunted by a tiger in India\, and swum with piranhas\, electric eels\, and pink dolphins in the Amazon. Her work has taken her from the cloud forest of Papua New Guinea (for a book on tree kangaroos) to the Altai Mountains of the Gobi (for another on snow leopards). For The Soul of an Octopus (a National Book Award finalist)\, she befriended octopuses at the New England aquarium and scuba dived and snorkeled with wild octopuses in Mexico and French Polynesia; next she drew on her scuba skills to cage dive with great white sharks. Ms. Montgomery lives in New Hampshire with her husband\, the writer Howard Mansfield\, their border collie Thurber\, and their flock of free-range laying hens. \nThis event will be held via Zoom webinar.  Please register to receive the link.  \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Morse Institute Library.  \n

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This month\, as part of the Natick Community Read\, we’ll be discussing How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals by Sy Montgomery.  In this memoir\, Montgomery draws on her experience as a naturalist and adventurer to reflect on the unique personalities of 13 specific animals and the truths revealed by their grace. She explores much larger themes as well: the otherness and sameness of people and animals; the various ways we learn to love and become empathetic; how we find our passion; how we create our families; coping with loss and despair; gratitude; forgiveness; and most of all\, how to be a good creature in the world. (From symontgomery.com) \nCopies of the book are available at the library for curbside pickup.  \nThis discussion will be held over Zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:Personal Story Time
DESCRIPTION:As the days get a little too chilly for outdoor story time\, the BFL is happy to offer you a personal\, indoor story time: just you\, your kiddos\, and Miss Fran or Miss Karen.   We’ll gather in a corner of the children’s area to read stories for about 20 minutes.  We will choose the books–feel free to make requests!–or you are welcome to bring or select your own.   \n  \nPlease register below:
