SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays - "Mother Mary comes to me" by Arundhati Roy
DESCRIPTION:“Mother Mary Comes to Me draws on multiple strands of the author’s early years\, unveiling an empathetic and at the same time marvelously satirical portrait of an eccentric extended family with a fondness for spectacular family feuds. Roy’s maternal lineage was saddled with a legacy of violence yet blessed with the gifts of education and English fluency. “Mrs. Roy” formed the tempestuous foundation uponwhich Roy and her brother\, “LKC\,” raised themselves. A single mother who suffered from debilitating asthma and thunderous moods\, Mary Roy founded a coeducational school–a revolutionary act in its time–and grew it into a spectacularly influential institution. The rage and unpredictability Mrs. Roy was known for was the secret to her success in a patriarchal society unaccustomed to seeing a woman soar to great heights while rejecting cultural roles designed to clip her wings”– Provided by publisher.

SUMMARY:Stories from the Queer Archives
DESCRIPTION:Objects such as banners\, T-shirts\, and buttons in the Vermont Queer Archives at the Pride Center of Vermont reflect currents and changes in the lives of Vermont’s LGBTQ+ community. \nMeg Tamulonis\, volunteer curator of the Archives\, discusses how these objects mark various milestones\, from Pride events to legal rulings\, and considers why some parts of the queer community aren’t well-represented in the Archives. She’ll explain why there aren’t many artifacts from the era before the Stonewall Uprising in 1969\, and some of the ways we can continue to gather and learn about Vermont’s many queer histories. \nThis is a Vermont Humanities event hosted by Brownell Library and it is inspired by this year’s Vermont Read: Charity and Sylvia\, a graphic novel by Tillie Walden.  Program attendees can pick up a free copy of Charity and Sylvia at this event.

SUMMARY:Flaxtravaganza @ Ethan Allen Homestead
DESCRIPTION:Meet us at the Ethan Allen Homestead for Flaxtravaganza\, a fall harvest reenactment\, with a special focus on flax fiber processing. This is a FREE admission day at the Homestead and there will be hot apple cider heated over the open fire\, cookies\, tours of the historic Allen House\, exhibits\, and a chance to get dressed up in the costumer corner for an historic family photo shoot amongst the beautiful fall foliage. While you are there\, stop by our table for a fall craft and stories\, and pick up a free copy of this year’s Vermont Read: Charity and Sylvia by Tillie Walden. \n \nThis collaboration is inspired by this year’s Vermont Reads selection\, Charity and Sylvia by Tillie Walden. In 1807\, Weybridge\, Vermont is small\, cold\, lonely\, and beautiful. As an unwed woman with few prospects\, Sylvia Drake resides with and cares for her sister’s rambunctious family. But today the house is abuzz awaiting a guest—Charity Bryant. This graphic novel\, created by Walden from archival materials at the Henry Sheldon Museum and other primary and secondary sources\, explores the 44 years that Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake lived together as life partners. As their relationship and place in their community grow\, America grows alongside them. We see the arrival of the railroad\, the terms of 14 presidents\, riots\, rebellion\, and plagues. Check out a copy of the book or pick up a free copy to take home by attending one of our Vermont Reads events this year.\n \nVermont Reads is a Vermont Humanities program\, join the statewide conversation by reading the book or attending a related program at local libraries this year.
