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.

SUMMARY:Avoiding AI: Questions\, Concerns\, and How to Opt Out
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is being pushed by major technology companies and appearing on devices uninvited. Hannah Cyrus\, Digital Media Librarian at Bangor Public Library\, will cover the basics of how this technology works; why it is unreliable as a source of information; privacy\, environmental\, and other concerns associated with AI; and how everyday people can push back. If you are curious about how large language models and artificial intelligence work\, or mad that everything from ChatGPT to Microsoft’s Copilot to Google’s AI summaries and more seems to show up without you asking for it or being able to get rid of it\, join us to learn more and take control of your devices and your privacy.\nHannah Cyrus (she/her) works as a reference librarian in Bangor\, with a focus on technology instruction and digital privacy. Her work often centers around patrons concerned about their accounts or devices being compromised\, falling victim to predatory schemes\, or concerned by the ubiquitous creepiness of online surveillance capitalism. She is a member of the Library Freedom Project\, and recipient of the 2026 Jim Campbell Intellectual Freedom Award from the Maine Library Association.
