Registration is required and available at: \nRed Clover Registration for students grades K-4 – Hosted by Sonny – Each month we’ll read two books from the list and bring them to life with a hands-on activity.

Come discover new stories\, meet fellow book lovers\, and cast your vote for this year’s Red Clover winner! \nGolden Dome Registration for students grades 5-8 – Hosted by River – Each month we’ll discuss one book as a group\, then open the floor for you to share any other Golden Dome titles you’ve been reading on your own. Come ready to swap opinions\, defend your favorites\, and discover your next great read. To vote for your favorite in March\, you’ll need to read at least five titles from this year’s Golden Dome list—so there’s plenty to keep you turning pages between meetings. Most of all\, this is a chance to sharpen our discussion skills and enjoy the fun of talking books with fellow readers! \nGMBA Registration for students grades 9-12 – Hosted by Shadia – Each month we’ll discuss a title chosen by the group—what we loved\, what we didn’t\, the themes we noticed\, and how each book reflects and comments on the world around us.

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.
