My Summer on the Appalachian Trail”
Lecture and Slide Presentation

By Steve Mackey
Thursday, October 22
 7:00 p.m.
 Hadley-Luzerne Public Library Community Room
The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) is more than 2,175-mile long footpath stretching through 14 eastern states from Maine to Georgia. Conceived in 1921 and first completed in 1937, it traverses the wild, scenic, wooded, pastoral, and culturally significant lands of the Appalachian Mountains. 

We now offer 2 story times! We have one every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. This one is designed for toddlers and their caregivers. We now offer another one every Thursday at 6:00 pm. So if the kids are in school but miss their library story time, now they can come on Thursday!

Hi
The book of the month is Issac’s Storm by Erik Larson. Narrator Edward Herrmann brings an eerie calm to this powerful chronicle of the deadliest storm ever to hit the United States–a huge and terribly destructive hurricane that struck land near Galveston, Texas in September of 1900. Author Erik Larson re-creates the events leading up to the disaster in astonishing detail, tracing the thoughts and actions of Isaac Cline, a scientist with America’s burgeoning U.S. Weather Bureau.
This book will be discussed on November 10th.  Get yours today!

Our board meetings are the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm.  They are held here at the library.  The front door of the library is locked when we close at 7:00 so please arrive a little early.  If you arrive later please knock loudly on the side door by the ramp.

On Tuesday, our guest speaker will be  Gordon Batcheller, Wildlife Biologist and Section Head of the New York State Bureau of Wildlife in DEC.   Mr. Batcheller is stationed in the Albany headquarters of DEC.  He is responsible for the game species management of the Eastern Coyote,  a relatively new but often misunderstood member of New York’s wildlife community.
The library front door is closed and locked at 7:00, please arrive a little bit early.

Program funding is provided by the Town of Lake Luzerne and Warren County.

Dan Ladd, Outdoors Editor of The Chronicle newspaper, will present a program on what a hunter sees and experiences from January through December.  His talk will include a discussion on trail cameras, getting deer out of the woods and finding access to public hunting land in the Adirondacks.

Mr. Ladd is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys not only hunting, but fishing, hiking, kayaking and cross-country skiing.  He is also the author of a new book Deer Hunting in the Adirondacks.

The program is free and open to all.  Funding is provided by the Town of Lake Luzerne and Warren County.

Wednesday Aug 19th Mediocre Mickey and Marvelous Mica will delight us with a magic show.  Come one, come all and see what disappears!

The book club is picking up their new book for the month.  Why don’t you pick up a copy and join in?  They will meet again to discuss it on Sept 8th.

This month’s book is Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder.  Wow reading the inside cover I find that Tracy Kidder is a man and a Pulitzer Prize winner!  This book is an inspiring non-fiction story about Paul Farmer, Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist and recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant.  ( I wonder how he answered the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” )
This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer-brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti-blasts through convention to get results.

This Tuesday night, at the library, John Kribs will entertain us with songs. John is an instrumentalist, singer and songwriter whose talents have garnered 35 years of critical acclaim. John’s songs have been used on National Public Radio’s “Car Talk”, published by CBS and Boptalk Music. An accomplished guitarist, John is equally at ease on fretless bass, mandolin, and banjo. His voice has been described by reviewers as clear, smooth, haunting and captivating.
If the weather is good we would like to have this concert outdoors so bring your lawn chairs!!Funding provided by the Town of Lake Luzerne and Warren County.
