Free Events for New Adults

This book group focuses on authors and stories that explore diverse and underrepresented voices and experiences.
This month's book is "Everything We Never Had" by Randy Ribay.
A little about the book:
Randy Ribay tells the story of a Filipino family over four generations of men: a newly immigrated farmer in California in the 1930s, his son enduring racism at school in the ’60s, his grandson who’s curious about his family history in the ’80s, and finally, his great-grandson enduring the Covid pandemic in 2020. This National Book Award-longlisted novel might be classified as YA, but its portrayal of living, breathing immigrant experience—and how it evolves through decades—resonates at any age.
Books will be available at the Main Desk for one month before this meeting. New members are always welcome.

What if the most fascinating wildlife in New England isn’t far away in the wilderness—but right outside your window?
Join wildlife ecologist and nature author Brad Timm for a lively, eye-opening presentation that will forever change how you see the natural world around you. You’ll discover surprising secrets about the animals you thought you knew all about:
• Blue Jays aren’t actually blue
• Some foxes climb trees
• Hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 200 times per second
And many more unbelievable facts hiding in plain sight Through stunning photos, engaging videos, and captivating stories from his book Wildlife Out Your Window, Brad brings common backyard species to life in ways that are fun, memorable, and often surprising. But this isn’t just about cool facts—you’ll also walk away with simple, practical ways you can help wildlife right where you live, whether you have a backyard, balcony, or just a view out your window.
Bonus: Signed copies of Wildlife Out Your Window and Brad’s newest book, America is Wild! (a beautifully illustrated guide to wildlife and plants across the U.S.), will be available after the program at a special discounted price of $20 each

This month's book is "Behind You Is The Sea" by Susan Muaddi Darraj.
A little about the book:
This gorgeous debut, an intergenerational novel-in-stories following three Palestinian-American families in Baltimore, navigates a tricky balance beam: It’s a zoomed-in family drama that simultaneously captures wide-lens truths about cultural differences; the weight of history; and the myriad manifestations of love.
