September book: Ember the Fire Dragon by Tracey West
Halloween is one of America's most popular holidays - but did you know the origins of this autumnal celebration can be traced back into the shadowy past of ancient Ireland? Join lecturer Liz Hannan Kading as she delves into Halloween's ancestry deep within the mysterious harvest rituals of ancient Ireland, the transformation of Halloween from Pagan festival to Christian holy day in the Middle Ages, and the mischievous and beguiling Halloween customs carried across the sea by Irish immigrants in the 19th century. We'll explore haunting practices that originated in Ireland but remain essential to our observance of Halloween in the present day - demonstrating the enduring influence of Irish history and culture on our modern celebration of Halloween!

With the Declaration of Liberty, and the subsequent War of Independence, those freeholders in the colonies were called upon to become Citizens for the first time, to unite in one Great Cause and thus unite from the wealthiest towns to the humblest communities. All were called to sacrifice: husbands, sons, and brothers of the community who would often be sent far from home, to help provide funds and provisions needed to sustain the Congress and the Army through those difficult years, and through the work of individuals and artisans crafting, weaving, sewing, laundering, and often housing stricken soldiers. This talk will reveal how communities throughout New England, and particularly in Southern New England responded during the Revolutionary War to the demands of Congress and the depths to which these villages and towns gave of their own lives and livelihoods in the cause of liberty.
