| SPOTLIGHT
ON THE LIBRARY |
|
JUNE 2, 2006 The
summer months are upon us. Humidity and temperatures are rising, children
are finishing school, old friends are returning from the Sun Belt and
excitement is building for the many great times that will be had over the
summer.
However, before everyone jumps into summer with two feet and arms
waving in the sky, please remember that the library has two great programs
that will interest almost anyone.
This Tuesday, June 6 at 7 pm a community lecture will take place in the
Monday Club Room of the library. The lecture will be led by St.
Bonaventure professor Bart Lambert. Dr. Lambert will discuss his most
recent book titled, If the Workers Took a Notion: the Right to Strike
and American Political Development. Professor Lambert makes the case
that the right to strike ought to be a citizenship right. He believes the
rise of the new American state in the late nineteenth century forced the
labor movement to abandon their worker conception of the right to strike
as citizens. Patrons interested in attending this program are asked to
call or visit the library to register.
Additionally, on Thursday, June 15 at 7pm a community lecture about the
Adirondack Mountains will be held in the Monday Club Room of the library.
Professor James Wolfe of Houghton College will visit the library to
discuss the ecological development of the Adirondack Park and it current
environmental status. Professor Wolfe’s research has resulted in more than
a dozen publications dealing with subjects such as: photosynthetic
organisms in Allegany County’s Spring Lake, macroalgal communities in
tidepools on Mount Desert Island, Maine and limnological lake studies in
the Adirondack Park. |
