SUMMARY:Rescuing Richardson's Station: Holyoke's 1885 Train Depot\, with Will Melton
DESCRIPTION:Considered by many to be the greatest American architect of the 19th century\, Henry Hobson Richardson and his firm were commissioned to design more than two dozen railroad stations\, many along the east-west line of the Boston & Albany Railroad. Only one\, his 1885 Holyoke Passenger Station\, was completed in his lifetime on the north-south line between New York and Montreal (the Connecticut River Railroad). When rail passenger service to Holyoke was abandoned nearly 80 years later\, the station was altered into automobile parts and machine shops. \nIt sat empty for decades until local businessman David White bought the building in 2021\, “tired of listening to people complain ‘Someone should fix it before it falls down.'” His takeout restaurant and Choo Choo’s Ice Cream shop will open on the site this Spring. Dave’s friend Will Melton will tell the story of Richardson and this architectural commission. \nThis is Will Melton’s third history talk for Holyoke Public Library. He retired in 2015 after four decades in university and museum fund raising to devote time to gardening\, his mandolin ensemble\, and history studies and writing. Liberty’s War\, An Engineer’s Memoir of the Merchant Marine 1942-45\, which he published in 2017\, is available from U.S. Naval Institute Press\, our library\, and the C/W MARS library consortium.

The egg hunt will continue until 12:00 pm to allow children to explore at their own pace and enjoy a stress free experience!

Algunas obras ahondan en el poderoso impacto de la genética\, examinando cómo los rasgos heredados y las tendencias biológicas pueden moldear la trayectoria de una persona. Otras se centran en la crianza\, subrayando la importancia de la educación\, las experiencias vitales y el entorno a la hora de definir el sentido de uno mismo. \nEl jurado seleccionó a cinco artistas para la exposición Naturaleza/Naturaleza: Anne Bradford Spencer\, Deborah Yaffe\, Shelsy Rodiguez\, Camille Roos y River Nation.

SUMMARY:Nature/Nurture Art Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Women’s History Month by viewing the Nature/Nurture Art Exhibit at Wistariahurst Museum in March! Artists identifying as female or nonbinary were asked how they viewed the theme of nature versus nurture. This debate centers around our genes and surroundings\, with both factors playing a role in mental and physical well-being while shaping personalities. This exhibition showcases a variety of viewpoints on the complex interplay between nature and nurture. Some artworks delve into the powerful impact of genetics\, examining how inherited traits and biological tendencies can shape a person’s path. Others highlight the nurturing side\, underscoring the importance of upbringing\, life experiences\, and surroundings in defining one’s sense of self. \nThe jury selected five artists to showcase for the Nature/Nurture art exhibit: Anne Bradford Spencer\, Deborah Yaffe\, Shelsy Rodiguez\, Camille Roos\, and River Nation. The museum had so many wonderful submissions that more artists will be included as honorable mentions. These talented individuals delve into various mediums from photography to sculptures\, showcasing their distinctive artwork in our gallery for everyone to appreciate\, gather\, and explore this year’s theme. \nDuring the opening reception\, get a first look at the exhibit and speak with some of the artists who helped shape this year’s theme with their artwork. We will be joined by some of our featured as we feature them on our artist panel to talk about what inspired their art\, their experiences\, and what their thoughts on this year’s theme. \nCelebra el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer con la exposición de arte Naturaleza/Naturaleza en el Museo Wistariahurst en marzo. A los artistas que se identifican como mujeres o no binarios se les preguntó cómo veían el tema de la naturaleza frente a la crianza. Este debate se centra en los genes y el entorno\, y ambos factores influyen en el bienestar mental y físico\, a la vez que moldean la personalidad. Esta exposición presenta diversos puntos de vista sobre la compleja interacción entre naturaleza y crianza. Algunas obras ahondan en el poderoso impacto de la genética\, examinando cómo los rasgos heredados y las tendencias biológicas pueden moldear la trayectoria de una persona. Otras se centran en la crianza\, subrayando la importancia de la educación\, las experiencias vitales y el entorno a la hora de definir el sentido de uno mismo. \nEl jurado seleccionó a cinco artistas para la exposición Naturaleza/Naturaleza: Anne Bradford Spencer\, Deborah Yaffe\, Shelsy Rodiguez\, Camille Roos y River Nation. El museo recibió tantas propuestas maravillosas que se incluirán más artistas como menciones honoríficas. Estos talentos se adentran en diversos medios\, desde la fotografía a la escultura\, y exponen sus distintivas obras de arte en nuestra galería para que todo el mundo pueda apreciarlas\, reunirse y explorar el tema de este año. \nDurante la recepción inaugural\, eche un primer vistazo a la exposición y hable con algunos de los artistas que han contribuido a dar forma al tema de este año con sus obras. Algunos de nuestros artistas destacados formarán parte de nuestro panel para hablar de lo que inspiró su arte\, sus experiencias y sus opiniones sobre el tema de este año.

SUMMARY:Open/Open: a performance by Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30\, performances at 8pm\nSliding scale $15 – $45 \nMusical performance by Milk of Mustard Seed\nOPEN/OPEN by Kate Seethaler + Meghan Frederick\nOPEN/OPEN is a new\, duet work that continues our five-year creative research into pregnancy and motherhood as/through choreography and performance. Our movement vocabulary begins in modes of interiority and porousness\, drawing from our experiences of gestation\, birth\, and infant care. Through gestural sequences and poetic text we cast spells and crack images into myriad meanings. Our choreographic systems explore touch\, unison\, and repetition\, alongside improvisational modes in which we inhabit choreography. Through these systems we manifest logics inherent in embryological development\, the spiritual disorientation of matrescence\, and the leaky\, permeable body of motherhood. Electric blue wigs render us hyper-feminine\, mythical monsters; an image we then work to deconstruct. Through an interplay of disorientation and rigor\, our performance reveals essential mechanisms of vulnerability\, care\, perseverance and love.

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle

Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:The Cozy Bookclub & Fiber Circle
DESCRIPTION:Are you dreading winter? Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

SUMMARY:Blue Ghost:  A helicopter pilot writes home from 1968 Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:As a child\, Holyoke native Tom Pueschel (1945-2019) dreamed one day of flying. What he didn’t know was that he would learn to fly\, during his 423 days as helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War. His letters home\, published in 2023\, capture “a raw\, unfiltered journey that navigates not just the perils of war but the emotional and ethical turbulence that comes with that.” Join us on November 9 in the Community Room of the Holyoke Public Library (4:00 PM) as Tom’s brothers and sons read from his letters and share stories of his life. Free and open to the public.
