May
The Missing Man Table will be on display in the Reference Room for May.
This table is reserved to honor our brave and selfless American military members who have perished on the battlefield, those who have not been returned to us after being taken prisoner on foreign soil, and those who went missing and have not found their way back home.
Landscapes by local photographer Frank Gorga. These photos interpret the landscape using a combination of technology invented in antiquity (the camera obscura) and modern technology (digital cameras and printers).
Brought to you by the Friends of the James A. Tuttle Library.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Free copies of the book described above will be available for loan at the Library.
Helen Jalbert will be leading the dialogue.
Gaiman’s book has been described as “A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out.”
Among the questions Book Club members may discuss on May 16th are:
1. How strange and gloomy is this book?
2. How does Gaiman address the subjects of memory, the supernatural, and loyalty?
3. How does Gaiman characterize women?
4. What is there to like about this book?

Traces of the Trade
Filmmaker Katrina Browne discovers that her ancestors, residents of New England, were the largest slave-trading family in United States history, operating their business from 1769 to 1820. Browne and nine of her relatives explore the history of their family and slavery in this documentary, traveling to Rhode Island, Ghana, and Cuba. The film asks the question: what would repair for slavery, both spiritual and material, look like?
