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:September Artist: Kate Themel
DESCRIPTION:Kate Themel\nSeptember 1 – 30\, 2026 \nKate Themel is an award-winning artist living in Cheshire\, Connecticut. Kate earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art in 1992 and began using fabric as an artistic medium in 1996. Kate has developed a distinct\, painterly style in her compositions\, which are constructed using basic quilting techniques and materials. Kate Themel has created custom fiber art for individuals\, hospitals and corporate clients and her unique fiber pieces have been exhibited in art galleries and museums from Boston to Botswana. Her quilted compositions have been juried into international exhibitions such as Art Quilt Elements\, Kagoshima Quilt Show in Japan\, and Quilt National\, where Kate’s work earned the People’s Choice Award and the Young Emerging Artist Award. \nArtist Statement: Creative Process and Technical Details I rely on my formal training when I'm evaluating a composition and deciding if it works or not. The elements of art are the same whether you use ink\, paint\, or fabric as the medium. I use fabric to explore value\, color\, and shape. With machine stitching\, I can add lines and texture. Fiber art also has this sculptural aspect that’s really exciting. I can explore a wide range of creative territory with textiles.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: David O. Stewart
DESCRIPTION:The Democracy We Must Keep: Why the Ideas that Built America Still Matter with David O. Stewart\nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nJoin us as we chat with award-winning historian David O. Stewart about his newest work\, The Democracy We Must Keep\, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America’s founders say about democracy\, and can we remain true to their vision for America? \nTwo hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where the people ruled. \nIn The Democracy We Must Keep\, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry’s thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution. \nAbout the Author: \nDavid O. Stewart has published eleven award-winning and best-selling books of history and historical novels. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Washington Independent Review of Books. His most recent fictional series\, the Overstreet Saga\, is inspired by family stories his mother told. He lives in Maryland with the light of his life\, Nancy Floreen; they have three children and six grandchildren.

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.
