Local Author Fair

Saturday, November 5, from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Groton Public Library will showcase the work of local authors, giving them an opportunity to talk about their books and writing, sell copies of their work, and get to know the readers living in their community.

Groton Public Library Book Group

Tuesday, November 8, at 6:30 p.m.

The Groton Public Library will host a book discussion of “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. Copies of the book are available at the library; call or reserve online.

Mohegan Tribe History: 1600-1700s

Thursday, November 17, at 6 p.m.

In this virtual program, an Outreach and Tradition Specialist from the Mohegan Tribe will discuss the history of the tribe during the 1600s and 1700s, touching on the life of Samson Occom. Registration required; Zoom meeting information will be emailed after signup.

This program is hosted by Stonington Free Library and co-sponsored by the Bill Memorial, Ledyard, Mystic & Noank, New London, Otis, and Waterford Libraries and generously funded by the Groton Public Library Circle of Friends.
