SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Alex Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:In The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges\, New Flavors\, and the Blank Spots on the Map\, Alex Hutchinson dives headfirst into a fascinating and provocative new field of research\, examining how exploration is a fundamental part of what makes us human. \nOff the beaten path\, on unmarked trails\, we are wired to explore. More than just a need to get outside\, the search for the unknown is a specific\, primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are just beginning to understand. In fact\, the latest neuroscience suggests that exploration is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration\, it turns out\, isn’t merely a hobby—it’s our story. \nAnd yet\, it has never been easier to live an exploration-free life\, without the struggle and uncertainty that true exploration—of places\, experiences\, and ideas—requires. With the digital world designed to exploit the neural circuitry behind our drive to explore\, we receive the illusion of novelty without accompanying growth. \nFrom paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians\, The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience. The end result offers a singular approach to finding meaning in our past struggles\, embracing the possibility of failure in our future\, and crucially\, recognizing when our present is good enough. \nRegister now to participate in this timelessly relevant discussion: https://libraryc.org/waterfordlibraryNY/152918/register \nAbout the Author: Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning science journalist with a big-picture focus on human performance and particular interests in fitness\, endurance sports\, and the outdoors. He is Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist\, and his writing also appears in The Atlantic\, The New Yorker\, and elsewhere. Before journalism\, he was a postdoctoral physicist at the National Security Agency and a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team. He lives in Toronto with his wife and daughters. \n

SUMMARY:Waterford Readers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join the library for a monthly book club! We will primarily be reading mysteries and thrillers but other genres may be included from time to time. Our pick for April 28th is Recursion by Blake Crouch. Copies are available at the check-out desk for pickup during the month of April. No registration is required. Please note that this book club takes place after the library is closed. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the start of book club if you wish to check out items or peruse our collection. \nMEMORY MAKES REALITY. \nThat’s what New York City cop Barry Sutton is learning\, as he investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome—a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. That’s what neuroscientist Helena Smith believes. It’s why she’s dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious memories. If she succeeds\, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss\, the birth of a child\, the final moment with a dying parent. As Barry searches for the truth\, he comes face to face with an opponent more terrifying than any disease—a force that attacks not just our minds but the very fabric of the past. And as its effects begin to unmake the world as we know it\, only he and Helena\, working together\, will stand a chance at defeating it.

SUMMARY:Poetic Voice & the Eavesdropping Reader
DESCRIPTION:Some poems unfold through dialogue\, speech to a third party\, and self talk. Poetic narrators\, like playwrights\, can erect a “fourth wall” so that the reader must eavesdrop on the poem as they would on a staged drama. In this workshop\, we will read several poems and discuss their use of voice before turning to a generative exercise\, writing time and an opportunity to share.  \nThis program is open to ages 16 and up. Registration is required and opens on April 2nd. \nRhonda Rosenheck is an emerging poet and writer. Her publications include: The Five Books of Limericks; Sin No More! A Biblical Sea Shanty; Looking: Out\, Up\, In & Under Rocks; and Yiddische Yoga: OYsanas for Every Generation. Individual poems have appeared in magazines\, journals and anthologies and have been performed live. Rhonda often uses creative writing to move her through the trauma of illness and grief. She writes in her Waterford\, NY studio\, the Poet’s Perch. Learn more about Rhonda on her website: www.rhondarosenheck.com
