Upcoming Adult Programs
"A History of Women's Work: The Evolution of Women's Working Lives" with Author Janet Few
Thursday, June 12 | 10:00 AM (Virtual)
Please join us as author Janet Few discusses her new book "A History of Women's Work: The Evolution of Women's Working Lives". Delving into three main areas of women’s work: household tasks, home industries, and paid employment outside the home, "A History of Women's Work" encourages us to view how our own contributions to the work force affect our own sense of self and effect on the world at large. It also asks us to look back and see the profound impact women have had on the "working" world - stories that should not be lost to the annals of time.

Armchair Travel To Japan (Kyoto, Kobe, Shimizu, Yokohama & Osaka)
Tuesday, June 17 | 2:00 PM (Virtual)
Japan is a nation of islands that isolated itself from the outside world for many years. This enabled Japan to develop a unique culture and its own religion. Here it is common to see women walking around in kimonos especially when visiting shrines and temples. Explore Shinto shrines and customs, and visit Buddhist temples. Admire gardens, feudal castles, Mount Fuji and much more as we explore these Japanese cities. Led by retired high school teacher Sheila Taub, who now presents illustrated talks on her travels at libraries, senior centers, community centers and cruise ships.

Gay Pride: More Than A Parade
Monday, June 30 | 7:00 PM (Virtual)
June is Pride Month, which is dedicated to celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) pride. It honors the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which was a turning point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. What started as an angry mob's violent reaction to a police raid in 1969 ignited the gay rights movement and has over time grown to become a joyous annual celebration. Explore the origins of Pride Month and why is has grown into an annual tradition observed in America and many other countries. Led by entertainment historian John Kenrick, who is the Curator for the Museum of Broadway in New York City and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amateur Theatricals.
