SUMMARY:Horsemanship: A Day with Gamilah Unbridled

SUMMARY:Maine Author Talk : Claire Ackroyd
DESCRIPTION:Buck Memorial Library welcomes Claire Acroyd\, a published author as well as a landscape & garden designer. \n​Raised in England among the best traditions of English gardening\, in a large house with a large garden and a large family. 25 years ago she began doing inspections for organic certification for the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA)\, and this is where she found the impetus to write a story. \nHer inspection work provided her with a unique look into the operations of the maple syrup industry and the people who toil in order to bring sugary sweetness to our tables. From that\, “Murder in the Maple Woods” and its follow up\, “Body in the Blueberry Barrens” were born. \nHer books will be available for purchase from Bookstacks.

SUMMARY:Stress and Effective Coping as Our Climate Changes
DESCRIPTION:The Rockport Conservation Commission welcomes Professor Thomas Bateman to the Rockport Public Library for a talk about ways to improve our psychological well-being in the face of climate change. \nBateman notes that—with regard to climate change—scientific causes\, disasters\, and technical solutions receive the bulk of public attention and coverage. “We need to attend more\, and better\, to ourselves\,” asserts Bateman. “This includes climate stress and coping strategies\, which can strengthen both personal and community resilience.” \nThe program will explore customizing pro-climate actions in ways that 1) aren’t too costly\, 2) suit personal interests and skills\, 3) are satisfyingly impactful\, and 4) contribute to needed system changes. This talk will not be about personal carbon footprints. \nThomas S. Bateman\, D.B.A. is the Bank of America Professor Emeritus of Commerce at UVA McIntire School of Commerce. Bateman specializes in organizational behavior and strategic leadership. He conducts research on proactive behavior\, problem solving\, and job stress in organizational contexts and as behavioral challenges in the domain of climate change. \nLearn more at rockportlibrary.net.
