Johnson\, author of Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design\, Tools\, Stories\, and Legacy of an Iconic Space. The book includes interviews with chefs who knew Julia well\, commentary on her favorite culinary tools and kitchen gadgets\, and a stunning array of photos. \nJulia Child’s 20’ x 14’ kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe‑testing lab that exuded a sense of mid‑century homey comfort. It has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\, for most of the past twenty-three years\, and museum goers have made it a top destination. \nThe kitchen contains more than one thousand parts and pieces—tools\, appliances\, utensils\, furniture\, artwork\, knick‑knacks\, books\, and bits of whimsy—all reflecting Julia’s status as an accomplished chef\, gastronome\, delightful cooking teacher\, television trailblazer\, women’s advocate\, mentor\, and generous\, jovial friend. \nJulia Child’s Kitchen (and this online conversation) is a must‑have for every serious home cook and Julia Child fan. Register now to enter the discussion and learn more about how Julia Child continues to influence food today! \nAbout the Author:  \nPaula J. Johnson is a curator and public historian at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, DC. She conducts research and collects objects relating to the history and culture of American food and serves as the Director of the Smithsonian’s Food History Project. Johnson was one of the curators who collected Julia Child’s home kitchen in 2001 and led the team that created FOOD: Transforming the American Table\, a multi-layered exhibition that explores the major changes in food production\, distribution\, and consumption in the United States since the 1950s. She has shaped and contributed to many public programs on food history and leads the annual “Food History Weekend.” Johnson is the author of many articles and three books\, including Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design\, Tools Stories\, and Legacy of an Iconic Space (2024).

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Like a Wave We Break: Overcoming Burnout to Lead with Resilience and Alignment featuring Jane Chen
DESCRIPTION:Like a Wave We Break: Overcoming Burnout to Lead with Resilience and Alignment featuring Jane Chen\nA Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nIn her national bestselling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break\, leadership coach Jane Chen pulls back the curtain on the conventional narrative of professional success. As the co-founder and former CEO of Embrace Global\, Jane’s groundbreaking work with a portable incubator impacted over one million premature babies across 25 countries\, earning international acclaim. Yet\, behind the global recognition lay an invisible crisis: a relentless pursuit of purpose that ultimately resulted in total burnout. Her journey through that breakdown and subsequent healing reshaped her entire approach to what it means to guide others through uncertainty and change. \nMany modern leaders find themselves trapped in a similar cycle\, treating leadership as a purely intellectual or strategic exercise while ignoring the immense emotional and physical toll it takes. This disconnect leads to unmanaged stress\, reactive decision-making\, and organizational fatigue. \nThis webinar offers a masterclass in shifting from fear-based performance to sustainable\, aligned leadership. Drawing from her executive background and her training with the Conscious Leadership Group\, Jane bridges the gap between high-level leadership strategy and deep self-actualization. Participants will analyze how the intersection of emotional literacy and physical intuition can transform executive paralysis into clear\, decisive action. Whether you are an executive steering a team through a major pivot or an individual seeking to align your daily work with your core values\, this session provides a science-backed\, deeply human blueprint for resilient leadership. \nAbout the Author: \nJane Chen is an internationally acclaimed inventor\, national bestselling author\, and leadership coach who helps leaders and teams build the emotional intelligence\, self-awareness\, and resilience needed to navigate rapid uncertainty and change. She is the co-founder and former CEO of Embrace Global\, an acclaimed social enterprise whose groundbreaking portable incubator has helped impact over one million premature babies across 25 countries. \nJane’s approach to leadership is deeply shaped by her own profound journey through burnout and healing\, which she chronicles in her national bestselling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break. Today\, she helps organizations cultivate the core capacities that make leadership sustainable\, focusing on emotional resilience\, self-compassion\, and grounded clarity. Her work has been featured extensively in The New York Times\, Forbe

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Lucy Foley
DESCRIPTION:High Altitudes and High Stakes: A Miss Marple Mystery with Lucy Foley\nA Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nJoin us for a thrilling conversation with acclaimed author Lucy Foley as we delve into her brand-new Miss Marple mystery\, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel. \nHigh in the Swiss Alps\, accessible only by a single\, winding railway\, stands the luxurious Grand Alpine Hotel. With glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes\, it draws guests from far and wide. \nThe notorious actress.  \nThe high-flying politician.  \nThe society wife.  \nThe reckless friend.  \nThe shrewd doctor. \nBut not everyone is here for a winter holiday. Beneath the champagne and furs\, dark histories simmer; old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice. And someone is watching from the shadows. A polite\, unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind: Miss Marple. When a body is found and a blizzard cuts off all escape\, only Miss Marple can connect the clues before the killer strikes again. Because it isn’t a question of who has a motive\, but who’s next… \n  \nAbout the Author: \nLucy Foley is a No.1 Sunday Times\, Irish Times and New York Times bestselling author. More than 10 million copies of her books are in print worldwide\, and several are currently being adapted for the screen. She is a Waterstones Thriller of the Month author\, a three-time nominee at the British Book Awards\, and The Guest List was a Reese’s Book Club selection and winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery Thriller. As a life-long Agatha Christie fan\, Lucy has drawn immeasurable inspiration from the Queen of Crime. She was one of 12 writers to contribute to Marple\, a collection of short stories featuring the beloved detective. And in Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel\, she was inspired to transport Miss Marple – her favorite Christie creation – to the glamorous post-war setting of the Swiss Alps\, in a mystery that feels gloriously escapist yet utterly relevant to our times.

SUMMARY:Foul Dungeons\, Prison Ships\, & Forced Marches
DESCRIPTION:Foul Dungeons\, Prison Ships\, & Forced Marches\nIn partnership with the Bridgewater Historical Society \nRegistration is required. RSVP BELOW \nYou are invited to join us for “Foul Dungeons\, Floating Prisons\, and Forced Marches\,” a fascinating presentation by Susan Bigelow\, History & Genealogy Librarian at the Connecticut State Library\, exploring the little-known stories of Revolutionary War prisoners in Connecticut. \nIn November 1778\, a strange procession wound its way through the sparsely populated hills and valleys of northern Connecticut: thousands of British and German prisoners of war captured at Saratoga marched under guard from their former quarters in Cambridge to the near wilderness of Charlottesville\, Virginia. The so-called “Convention Army” was an extreme example of a thorny problem faced by both sides during the American Revolution: what to do with the growing number of prisoners of war. \nConnecticut’s leaders responded in a variety of ways—some humane\, others surprisingly harsh. Along the way\, you’ll discover stories of German officers hosting dance parties in the villages they passed through\, captives confined deep within a dark copper mine\, and British sailors who staged a daring escape from a prison ship in New London Harbor. \nSusan Bigelow is a librarian and recovering political writer with a deep love of local history. She is a member of the History & Genealogy staff at the Connecticut State Library and serves on the Board of Directors of the Enfield Historical Society.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Veronica Roth
DESCRIPTION:Courage\, Choice\, and What Comes Next with Dystopian Icon Veronica Roth\nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on-demand \nA single choice can transform your destiny. Join us for an online conversation with #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth as we celebrate the enduring legacy of her Divergent series\, one of the most iconic young adult series of a generation\, and get an exclusive sneak peek into her highly anticipated upcoming novel\, The Sixth Faction! \nFifteen years after readers first stepped into dystopian Chicago alongside Tris Prior\, the Divergent universe still captivates with its unflinching exploration of identity\, courage\, and sacrifice. And in the alternate universe of The Sixth Faction\, we revisit familiar characters in a completely new way… \nBeatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions\, five futures\, five lives. \nShe has a plan: she’ll make the bravest choice and leave Abnegation to join Dauntless\, even though it means abandoning her family. \nBut when tragedy strikes at her choosing ceremony\, everything changes—her world\, her plans\, even Beatrice herself. \nHer decision will thrust her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion\, where a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own—a boy with only a number for a name—may be the only person she can trust. \nOne choice will change everything.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Smithsonian Curator Carolyn Russo
DESCRIPTION:Art in Flight: Reinventing Postmodernism with Smithsonian Curator Carolyn Russo\nA Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on-demand \nJoin us for a captivating online conversation with acclaimed author and Smithsonian curator Carolyn Russo as we dive into her fascinating book\, The Ascent of Rauschenberg. Explore the towering legacy\, unexpected inspirations\, and creative heights of one of America’s most influential artistic icons. \nMost famous for his groundbreaking “Combines”—painting and sculpture hybrids that often incorporated everyday objects—American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums\, including collage\, performance\, photography\, and printmaking. But a connective tissue through it all was his fascination with flight. The Ascent of Rauschenberg explores the flight motif across his work\, spanning birds\, insects\, aviation\, spaceflight\, sensory experiences\, and metaphors for his own life. \nMore than 150 images reveal the vibrant scope of his work\, from lithographs inspired by the Apollo 11 launch that NASA invited him to witness and document\, to a Combine featuring a taxidermied eagle that evokes Roman mythology. Nine accompanying essays reflect on his many flight themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlooked. The book also includes archival photographs and personal papers from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. \nRegister now for the chance to view art history through the unique prism of flight. \nAbout the Author: \nCarolyn Russo is curator of the art collection at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. She has lectured internationally on the subject of art and flight and is the author of several publications including The Ascent of Rauschenberg: Reinventing the Art of Flight\, Art of the Airport Tower\, In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight\, and Women and Flight: Portraits of Contemporary Women Pilots.

SUMMARY:Spirits in the Night: A Taste of True Crime. A Taste of Fine Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Did a Connecticut Woman Kill Jack the Ripper? With noted podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen\nCocktails by Mine Hill Distillery \nRegistration is required. RSVP below \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. \nIn the late 1800s\, five gruesome stabbing deaths of prostitutes occurred in London’s seedy East End. The unknown perpetrator came to be known as Jack the Ripper because several women were literally mutilated and their organs were ripped out of their bodies. To this day\, Scotland Yard has not accused anyone of being the infamous killer. One man was considered a potential suspect – and his wife was convicted of poisoning him. After serving her jail term\, she returned to her native United States and eventually settled in western Connecticut. However\, she lived her incognito and nobody knew her identity until after she died. The question remains: was Florence Maybrick a murderer\, and was her husband Jack the Ripper? \nQuestions?

His paintings often portray the bittersweet emotions of people feeling left out or left behind—experiences that continue to resonate with audiences today. \nAt the same time\, Rockwell’s work raises important questions about representation. Although he chronicled American life throughout much of the 20th century\, his illustrations largely omitted the nation’s cultural and racial diversity. It was only later in his career that Rockwell created several powerful paintings addressing race in America. These works can be understood as a natural extension of his lifelong interest in themes of inclusion\, exclusion\, and the human experience. \nDuring this presentation\, Oneail will examine Rockwell’s artistic legacy\, tracing the evolution of his work and inviting participants to consider how his paintings both reflected and shaped ideas of America. Through art\, history\, and discussion\, attendees will gain new perspectives on one of the country’s most iconic artists. \nAbout the presenter: \nJane Oneail is the founder of Culturally Curious\, a company that curates and presents art appreciation programs. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. Born and raised in NH\, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions\, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen\, where she served as Executive Director\, and the Currier Museum of Art\, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade\, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University. \n
