SUMMARY:Virtual Author Series: On the Strangeness and Wonder of our Brains with Pria Anand
DESCRIPTION:On the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains with Pria Anand\nWednesday\, June 31 at 2:00 pm via digital live stream \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \n\n\nYou’re invited to a fascinating conversation with neurologist and author Pria Anand to chat about her new book The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains (forthcoming June 10\, 2025). \nThe Mind Electric speaks to the stories we tell ourselves about our brains\, and the stories that our brains tell to us. \nA girl believes she has been struck blind for stealing a kiss. A mother watches helplessly as each of her children is replaced by a changeling. A woman is haunted each month by the same four chords of a single song. In neurology\, illness is inextricably linked with narrative\, the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient’s story and the tells of their body. \nStories are etched into the very structure of our brains\, coded so deeply that the impulse for storytelling survives and even surges after the most devastating injuries. But our brains are also porous—the stories they concoct are shaped by cultural narratives about bodies and illness that permeate the minds of doctors and patients alike. In the history of medicine\, some stories are heard\, while others—the narratives of women\, of Black and brown people\, of displaced people\, of disempowered people—are too often dismissed. \nIn The Mind Electric\, neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study\, history\, fable\, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis\, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity\, doctor and patient\, and illness and wellness\, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story. \nMoving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients\, to her childhood years in India\, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to the Republic of Guinea in West Africa\, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Register now to join this intriguing virtual conversation! \nAbout the Author: Pria Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School\, and she trained in neurology\, neuro-infectious diseases\, and neuroimmunology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Hannah Nicole Maehrer
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nEmbrace your dark side (and your best evil laugh) and join us in conversation with Hannah Nicole Maehrer\, creator of the New York Times bestselling Assistant to the Villain series. \nEvie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute\, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings\,” and the next\, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem\, murder plots\, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding\, sharp-jawed\, walking disaster of a boss. \nNow\, with a magical prophecy unraveling\, assassins showing up in the break room\, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns\, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire―or her dignity\, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. \nBeing evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain. \nFull of humor and heart\, this magical office comedy about a sunshine assistant and her grumpy evil boss is one you won’t want to miss out on. With the third book in the series\, Accomplice to the Villain\, out August 5\, 2025\, you need to register today to learn what tricks are up this author’s sleeve! \nAbout the Author: Hannah Nicole Maehrer—or as TikTok Knows her\, @hannahnicolemae—is a fantasy romance author and BookToker with a propensity for villains. When she’s not creating bookish comedy skits about Villains and Assistants\, she’s writing to Taylor Swift songs. Her biggest passions in life include romance\, magic\, laughter\, and finding ways to include them all in everything she creates. Most days you can find her with her head in the clouds and a pen in her hand.

SUMMARY:Ode to the Housatonic Railroad with Mike Allen
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS A CAPACITY. For the waiting list\, please email jkallay@burnhamlibrary.org \nIn Partnership with the Bridgewater Historic Society \nThe iconic Housatonic Railroad continues to chug along\, some 185 years after its first maiden run from Bridgeport to New Milford in 1840. It marked the arrival of a revolutionary new form of transportation – one that replaced stagecoaches and canal barges. The Housatonic has survived numerous ownership changes\, the ending of passenger service\, and a long period of inactivity along a crucial stretch of the line. But it’s still in operation with freight service today. \nMike will lead us through the history of the railroad\, including a photographic review showing where all of the former passenger stations were located. Many remain intact\, albeit in another use. Special attention will be paid to the Merwinsville Station in the Gaylordsville section of New Milford. \nRefreshments after the presentation.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Gabe Henry
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nHave you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey with us and author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language\, while we discuss troublemakers like Mark Twain who broke all the rules. \nAnyone who has the misfortune to write in English will\, every now and then\, struggle with its spelling. In our erratic system\, choir and liar rhyme\, daughter and laughter don’t\, and somehow you and ewe can’t agree on a single letter. So why do we still use it? If our spelling is so inconsistent\, why haven’t we tried to fix it? \nIn the comic annals of linguistic history\, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform\, risking their reputations to simplify English spelling. This book is about them: Mark Twain\, Eliza Burnz\, Noah Webster\, Upton Sinclair\, Emma Dearborn\, Theodore Roosevelt\, Benjamin Franklin\, and the countless other “simplified spellers” who\, for a time in their lives\, became fanatic about writing kof instead of cough\, tung for tongue\, and fyzics for physics (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too). \nIn Enough is Enuf\, Gabe Henry humorously traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America\, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music\, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U)\, plow (without -ugh)\, and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Finally\, Henry brings us to the digital age\, where the swift pace of online exchanges now pushes us all 2ward simplification. \nRegister now for this informative and entertaining conversation to find out why Gabe Henry thinks UR not a bad speller\, the English language is. \nAbout the Author: Gabe Henry is the author of three books including the poetry anthology Eating Salad Drunk\, a humor collaboration with Jerry Seinfeld\, Bob Odenkirk\, Mike Birbiglia\, Margaret Cho\, and other titans of comedy. Eating Salad Drunk was featured in The New Yorker in February 2022 (“A Smattering of Haiku for the Burnout Age”) and ranked one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2022. Henry’s work has been published in TIME\, New York Magazine\, The New Yorker\, the Weekly Humorist\, US News & World Report\, and more. He has spent more than a decade exploring the strange and forgotten history of simplified spelling\, which\, by his own admission\, has only made him a worse speller. He lives and works in New York. Learn more at www.gabehenry.com. \nger of positivity in the world and help people learn to talk to each other again – one conversation at a time.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Finding My Way with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nYou are invited to join us online and be one of the first to hear from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai about her astonishing memoir\, Finding My Way. Malala reintroduces herself to the world\, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. \nThrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life\, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds\, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love\, of anxiety and self-discovery\, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it\, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid\, often messy moments like nearly failing exams\, getting ghosted\, and meeting the love of her life\, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. \nFinding My Way is a vulnerable\, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity\, sharp humor\, and tenderness. It is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny and is a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself. Register now for an online conversation you cannot miss! \nAbout the Author: Malala Yousafzai is an education activist\, the youngest-ever Nobel laureate\, bestselling author\, and award-winning film producer. She was born in Mingora\, Pakistan\, in 1997 and graduated from Oxford University in 2020.

SUMMARY:Spirits in the Night: A Taste of True Crime. A Taste of Fine Spirits
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Mine Hill Distillery \nHeld at Mine Hill Distillery\, 5 Mine Hill Road\, Roxbury \nTHIS PROGRAM IS AT CAPACITY.  \nBrookfield’s first murder in 1981 shocked Connecticut—and soon became a national sensation—when the accused’s girlfriend claimed it wasn’t her boyfriend\, but the Devil himself\, who committed the crime. Join journalist and podcaster Mike Allen\, who covered the case firsthand and appeared in Netflix’s The Devil on Trial\, for a chilling deep dive into this notorious “Devil Made Me Do It” murder. \nEnjoy craft cocktails before and after the talk.  Doors open at 5:30 PM—come early to sip\, settle in\, and prepare for a night where spirits (both liquid and ghostly) come alive. \nQuestions? Contact jkallay@burnhamlibrary.org \n
