SUMMARY:Leading Men with author Christopher Castellani
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event – click here to sign up. \nJoin author Christopher Castellani for a presentation of his book Leading Men and the real-life characters who feature in it. \n“In July of 1953\, at a glittering party thrown by Truman Capote in Portofino\, Italy\, Tennessee Williams and his longtime lover Frank Merlo meet Anja Blomgren\, a mysteriously taciturn young Swedish beauty and aspiring actress. Their encounter will go on to alter all of their lives. \nTen years later\, Frank revisits the tempestuous events of that fateful summer from his deathbed in Manhattan\, where he waits anxiously for Tennessee to visit him one final time. Anja\, now legendary film icon Anja Bloom\, lives as a recluse in the present-day U.S.\, until a young man connected to the events of 1953 lures her reluctantly back into the spotlight after he discovers she possesses the only surviving copy of Williams’s final play.” \n*This program will NOT be recorded* \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Joshua Hyde Public Library in Sturbridge\, Charlton Public Library and the Jacob Edwards Library in Southbridge\, who we are partnering with for this event.

SUMMARY:Birds of Prey with Wingmasters
DESCRIPTION:This program is strictly for ages 5 and up.\nFamilies\, teens and adults are welcome as we kick off our summer reading programs. \nBirds of prey\, also known as raptors\, are hunting birds characterized by hooked beaks and powerful grabbing feet armed with sharp talons. With some of the best eyesight and the sharpest hearing in the animal kingdom\, raptors include eagles\, hawks\, falcons and owls.  Learn about these different categories in a presentation that incorporates five live birds\, including predation\, the birds’ place at the top of the food web\, their different hunting adaptations and their status in a rapidly changing world. Because many birds of prey are declining in number\, this presentation also features one or more of the endangered raptors that we care for\, and explains why these species face an uncertain future. \nWingmasters is a partnership of two people dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of North American birds of prey. Julie Anne Collier and Jim Parks are both licensed raptor rehabilitators based in Massachusetts. Together they care for injured birds of prey. Most of the birds they rehabilitate can ultimately be released back into the wild\, but in some cases the birds are left permanently handicapped. \nThis event is part of our Summer Reading Program and attending is worth a Kids SRP Raffle Ticket! Make sure to sign your child up for Summer Reading at clapplibrary.beanstack.com or via the Beanstack app. \nMade possible by the Friends of the Clapp Memorial Library and our Community Sponsors
