An educational presentation from the ACLU of Massachusetts\, in partnership wi

decision-making powers the job holds. This program does not endorse any ca

om the ACLU will share the presentation and answer questions from attendee
s. Please register to recei
ve a Zoom link to the program.
\n
From the ACLU:
\n
Sher
iffs have the power to make our communities safer and more just for all—bu
t most Massachusetts voters don’t even know who their sheriff is. \n<
/strong>It’s time to change that. It’s time to Know Your Sheriff.
\n
Know Your Sheriff is a public education campaign by the
ACLU of Massachusetts to build voter awareness about the life-changing dec
isions that sheriffs make. Polling shows that many voters are not familiar
with sheriffs—but when they learn more\, they are more likely cast a ball
ot for sheriff in the next election. Knowing your sheriff means knowing t
hat YOU have the power to demand safer communities and a more just crimina
l legal system.

\n
This session will open a conversation
about the limitations of what we know and don’t know about climate change
\, and how we can still make proactive decisions to “abate” or “adapt”. We
will make it clear\, though\, that the third option will always be to “su
ffer” the consequences of inaction. Therefore\, the emphasis of the discus
sion will be on organizing our thoughts about how to respond to the climat
e system and humanity. Ample time will be available for discussion and Q &
A.

Climate ch
ange – the number one existential threat to humanity and the planet – is o
ften described as a scientific problem with environmental impacts\, but it
’s more than that. Where do social justice and climate change overlap? How

members\, fight climate change in a way that is just and equitable for all
?
\n
Join Nia Keith\, social justice educator and climate activist\,
as we examine the connection between societal inequities and climate impac
ts. Nia will share some of the most dynamic climate justice initiatives to
day\, led by youth and People of Color around the world. Finally\, we’ll d
iscuss ways we can all take climate action in our communities and beyond.<

DESCRIPTION:
Calling all builders! Bring your friends and let your imagin
ation run wild. Creations will remain on display at the Library until the
Club’s next meeting.
Join us for an informal discussion about how women use fashion/c
lothing as a means of self-expression\, self-care\, as armor or disguise\,
to reinvent themselves\, to transform how others see them\, to communicat
e\, or to enhance confidence and individuality. Please book-mark your favo
rite sections of “Women in Clothes\,” and share your thoughts about your r
elationship with clothing\, shopping\, and what influences your daily ritu
al of getting dressed.
\n
“Women in Clothes\,” the 2014 book edited b
y the novelist-critics Sheila Heti and Heidi Julavits and the artist Lean
ne Shapton\, is a compilation of lessons\, fears and wishes. It pushes aga
inst the prevailing rules that have governed women’s self-presentation for
thousands of years.
\n
As mentioned in this 2014
New York Times article\, Sheila Weiss writes\, “The book began as a su
rvey consisting of an “ever-evolving” list of questions that the editors s
ent out to more than 600 women… The questions are provocative and psycholo
gical. They suggest that a closet is an archive of emotion. The questions
also resist the idea\, commonly held\, that paying too much attention to d
ress is frivolous… Clothing is as much a means for defiance and privacy as
it is a vehicle for pleasing self-presentation.”

DESCRIPTION:
In this class\, led by artist Lisa Hersey of Antler Editions\, we will explore different
bookbinding techniques that can be recreated at home. Making a book can b
e as simple as folding one sheet of paper\, or involve 16 pages and sewing
! Students will learn how to put content into their books for reproducing
editions of their work for themselves or to bring to Press On: Indie Publi
shing Festival! We will have time to work together and create original boo
ks by either decorating the covers\, or putting words/drawings onto the pa
ges. Ages 12+\, participants must be able to hold and handle a needle. Spa
ce is limited\, sign up at the library in person or by calling us at 413-5
27-1031 or emailing us at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
Three Saturdays\, March 2nd\, 9th and 23rd\, 8:30am meet outside the
library to begin walk\, 9:30am reconvene inside the library.
\n
Meet on the steps of the library at 8:30am. A map of the “official r
oute” will be provided that you may follow or adapt to your own needs and
interests. Our time of walking and writing is followed by a library meet u
p with this structure:
\n
9:30-9:45 am:
Chat about how the writing and walking went
\n
At 9:45am: Anyone who wants to read from their notebook for up to
3 minutes may
\n
Closing: A go around
where people are invited to voice an intention about further developing or
sharing their writing from the walk
\n
All of these activi
ties are optional. People who have walked at other points in the week are
welcome to join for the sharing.
\n
This event is w
eather dependent. If it is too wet for our notebooks (i.e. steady
rain or snow) we will not go. If it is too icy to walk we will not go.

tely hooked on bookbinding after taking her first class in 2009 at Montser

viewer and object.
\n\n
\n
Lisa has been teach
ing for 5 years and is excited to begin to offer classes directly out of h
er studio where she feels most at home. Hosting both group and individual
classes\, Lisa hopes to spread the love of bookbinding to both newcomers a

About the book:
\n
The remarkable true story o
f Ellen and William Craft\, who escaped slavery through daring\, determina
tion\, and disguise\, with Ellen passing as a wealthy\, disabled White man
and William posing as “his” slave.
\n
In 1848\, a year of internatio
nal democratic revolt\, a young\, enslaved couple\, Ellen and William Craf
t\, achieved one of the boldest feats of self-emancipation in American his
tory. Posing as master and slave\, while sustained by their love as husban
d and wife\, they made their escape together across more than 1\,000 miles
\, riding out in the open on steamboats\, carriages\, and trains that took
them from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North.
\n
Alo
ng the way\, they dodged slave traders\, military officers\, and even frie
nds of their enslavers\, who might have revealed their true identities. Th
e tale of their adventure soon made them celebrities\, and generated headl
ines around the country. Americans could not get enough of this charismati
c young couple\, who traveled another 1\,000 miles criss-crossing New Engl
and\, drawing thunderous applause as they spoke alongside some of the grea
test abolitionist luminaries of the day—among them Frederick Douglass and
William Wells Brown.
\n
But even then\, they were not out of danger.
With the passage of an infamous new Fugitive Slave Act in 1850\, all Ameri
cans became accountable for returning refugees like the Crafts to slavery.
Then yet another adventure began\, as slave hunters came up from Georgia\
, forcing the Crafts to flee once again—this time from the United States\,
their lives and thousands more on the line and the stakes never higher.
p>\n
With three epic journeys compressed into one monumental bid for fre
edom\, Master Slave Husband Wife is an American love story—one that would
challenge the nation’s core precepts of life\, liberty\, and justice for a
ll—one that challenges us even now.
