Canine Detectives: Sniffing out the Spotted Lanternfly
Saturday, Nov. 7 at 10:00 AM
Melissa McCue-McGrath, PACT ATI / ABTC ATI is a dog trainer and author, will visit the West Newbury Library at 10am, joined by her detective dogs, Captain and Rookie. She’ll share how she trained pet dogs, like yours, to sniff out the invasive Spotted Lanternfly, a species that is wreaking havoc in much of New England, including Massachusetts, and is a threat to 70+ New England crops, plants and trees.
The event is free and open to all, and is geared to people who love dogs, or people who are interested in environmental issues affecting Massachusetts. It’s a chance to learn how the same dogs who join you on quiet walks through the woods might also help safeguard them for the future, and an opportunity to learn the methods used so you can train your pet dogs at home to be detectives, too!
Virtual: Presidential Series: James K. Polk presented by Heather Rogers
Friday, Nov. 13 at 10:30 AM
This month, we learn about James K. Polk: Don’t let the haircut fool you – this guy was all business. He was so likely to go unnoticed that his wife requested that “Hail to the Chief” be played whenever he entered an event. Don’t you want to know more? Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator. RSVP for the Zoom link.
