A journalist\, Melville visits local cemeteries wherever he travels and in this book\, he invites readers to join him. From colonists’ hasty burials to the leisure parks that inspired the Transcendentalists\, Melville sees cemeteries as windows to understanding American history. Garrett\, a Batavia resident\, is a lifelong learner who feels about libraries the way Melville feels about cemeteries. \nThe season continues on Oct. 19 with local author Annie Hansen\, and her new novel "Get a Grip." On Nov. 16\, Pam Otto\, outreach ambassador for the St. Charles Park District and creator of the weekly "Good Natured" column\, shares a favorite that was a bestseller in 1942: "We Took To the Woods" by Louise Dickinson Rich. Books Between Bites will be hosted one week early in December\, on Dec. 14\, as Batavia’s city administrator\, Laura Newman\, discusses two autobiographies by Madeleine Albright: "Madam Secretary" and "Hell and Other Destinations." \nThe series kicks off 2024 on Jan. 18 with Mayor Jeff Schielke sharing what he has researched as "The Back Story of Batavia History." On Feb. 15\, we introduce our new executive director of Batavia Public Library\, Josephine Tucci. She shares her special interest in "Scandinavian and British Mysteries." Former ESPN senior writer and legal analyst\, Lester Munson\, returns with his sports perspectives on March 21\, discussing "The Tao of the Backup Catcher" by Tim Brown and Erik Kratz. \nLocal author Marnie O. Mamminga will introduce her new book for children\, "The Woodpecker’s Song\," on April 18. She will be joined by her illustrator\, Mary C. Parks. The final program of the season will be on May 16 when Batavian Karl Bruhn shares his fascinating research on "Sears Kit Houses in Batavia\, Geneva & Beyond." \nBooks will be available for sale and signing at each of the programs featuring authors. \nThese programs are held in the Founders Room\, located on the main level of the Batavia Public Library. Parking is available in the lot just south of and adjacent to the Library. \nGuests are invited to bring their lunch and eat as they enjoy the program and discussion.

This 2 day workshop will take you through creating a weave start to finish. You will be guided through warping your loom\, multiple weaving knots and texture techniques\, and finishing off your weaving. We will take the weaving off the loom and attach it to a piece of driftwood or a wooden dowel. (Specialty woods may be available for an additional cost.) A fiber pack full of hand dyed & hand spun fibers will be provided in the colorway selected. Some examples of the fibers provided include wools\, cotton\, linen\, art years\, and wool roving! Please arrive on time as we will need to get started right away to finish our weavings within the time allotted for this workshop. Registration for this workshop is limited to 2 seats to accommodate any skill level making this the perfect class for beginners and intermediates alike! Please feel free to BYOB – Cups and a light snack will be provided. Happy Weaving!! \nThree loom options are available: \n1)   LOOM PURCHASE: At the beginning of the class\, you will have the option to purchase a loom kit for $70 (a $15 discount). This is a great option for those who want to take additional weaving classes\, or practice weaving at home! The kit includes a small wooden frame loom\, carrying bag\, warp cord\, shuttles\, a needle\, weaving comb\, scissors\, and a heddle bar. \n2)   LOOM RENTAL: A loom can be rented for $20 with a $70 deposit fee. This $70 deposit fee will be returned when the loom is returned in good condition at the end of the class. \n3)   BRING YOUR OWN LOOM: If you have your own table top loom\, you are welcome to bring your own! Please check with me prior to the workshop date to confirm the loom will work for this workshop. \nDue to limited seating\, this workshop is non-refundable.
