Register and ask questions of the author here: https://libraryc.org/lakegeorgelibrary/96288 – Registration required: Crandall Public Library Coined as the “queen of British historical fiction,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor (forthcoming October 14, 2025). Jane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court, where secrets are currency, every choice is dangerous, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. For Jane, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything. With a rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over decades of writing, Gregory's return to the Tudors is a new definition of this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and unpredictable, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers a compelling parallel, serving as both a powerful historical narrative and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty and betrayal, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers this fall. Register today for this exciting glimpse into the perilous 16th century royal court! Registration is required and a high speed internet connection is recommended. Register for this author talk and check out other online author talks here: https://libraryc.org/crandalllibrary Programs will be recorded and available to view at a later date. |

In it, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today, especially as tribal land, culture, and community face new threats. Starting with the story of his own tribe, which is from the iconic Martha’s Vineyard, Lee tackles key questions around Indigenous identity and the stubborn legacy of colonialism. Lee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders, artists, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like.

Get your ticket by following the "Raffle" button on our web site! Registration required: Saratoga National Historical Park Agrippa Hull was a free African American resident of Stockbridge, MA. He enlisted in the Continental Army in May 1777 and served for six years, first with General John Paterson of the Massachusetts Line and then with Tadeusz Kościuszko, the Polish military engineer. Declining Kościuszko’s offer to settle in Poland after the war, Hull returned to Stockbridge where he became a pillar of the community. Agrippa Hull’s story is remarkable for what he did during his lifetime and how much documentation remains from which we can extrapolate. Through letters, diary entries, land deeds, and even accounts in mercantile ledgers the story emerges of a member of the African American community in 18th century Berkshire County – a community whose stories can otherwise be difficult to trace. Speaker Talya Leodari is the Curator at the Stockbridge Library Museum and Archives in Stockbridge, MA and has worked in the cultural heritage field for over twenty years. She holds an A.B. from Bryn Mawr College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Newcastle University in the UK. Her career has spanned many fields, but her focus throughout has been an interest in stories: whose stories get told and by whom, which stories are remembered and how.

Influenced by Peters’ own Mi’kmaq heritage, The Berry Pickers is a riveting exploration of family, grief, and the bonds we share. July 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family’s youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. The Berry Pickers is an intimate portrait of race, love, and loneliness–and the power of forgiveness. Register now to take part in the discussion! |

Registration required: Saratoga National Historical Park The progress of the army under British Lieutenant-General John Burgoyne was impeded by the logistical requirements of continuing its advance toward Albany in the summer of 1777. Burgoyne sent a detachment commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Friedrich Baum to procure supplies in the newly proclaimed state of Vermont in an attempt to overcome this obstacle. Expecting little in the way of resistance, crown forces instead received a decisive check from the flinty General John Stark who commanded a collection of Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire state militias in addition to Warner’s Regiment. Victory at Bennington paved the way for victory in the Battles of Saratoga and ultimately in the war itself. Interpretive Programs Assistant David Pitlyk will deliver a presentation on the history of the Battle of Bennington drawing from primary source material and archaeological findings. The presentation will also touch on how the battle has been commemorated and interpreted over time, both in New York and Vermont. David Pitlyk has served as the administrator of Bennington Battlefield for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation since 2015. He previously worked as the Interpretation Coordinator for the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum (USS SLATER) and graduated from the University at Albany with degrees in history and education. In his spare time, he is also a (very green) member of the recreated 24th Regiment of Foot. Support for the Fall Lecture Series is provided by Friends of Saratoga Battlefield.

Hillview Free Library (Diamond Point) Join us, the first Thursday each month, for a friendly game of Scrabble! We begin at 6:30pm, and play until all the tiles are done. High score takes home a prize! For teens & adults. Registration required: Saratoga National Historical Park Winter is coming for the American Army in Canada and the fate of the soldiers rests upon the shoulders of General Richard Montgomery. Following the flashpoint of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April and the easy capture of Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point in May, Congress authorized an invasion upon the advice of General Philip Schuyler in June. With significant support from Connecticut troops, an invasion force moved north from Crown Point in August. When the Americans encountered resistance from the British Army, command devolved upon Brigadier General Richard Montgomery of Rhinebeck. A former British officer, Montgomery had covered much of the same ground nearly twenty years earlier during the French and Indian War. In contrast to that preceding invasion, the efforts of 1775 would conclude in dismal failure. Join Historian William P. Tatum III, Ph.D., for an unconventional investigation of this generally overlooked campaign, which partly served as a training experience for many leaders who would appear at the Battles of Saratoga. This presentation will focus on the plethora of personnel issues that threatened to defeat the American efforts more quickly and viciously than British resistance. Learn the fates of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold, riding high on the successful captures of Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point, yet soon to face a different experience in Canada. Meet John Brown, the future bane of the British forces re-occupying Ticonderoga. Decode the complicated interplay of the extended Livingston Family relations. Bask in the baleful fury of the age-old enmity between New Englanders and Yorkers. See how these threads came together to form the fabric of Richard Montgomery’s final months of life, a man who wanted nothing more than to be at home in Dutchess County. William P. Tatum III holds a Ph.D. in British Imperial History from Brown University and has served as the Dutchess County Historian since 2012. He is a peer-reviewed published author and has presented extensively as venues across New York and the East Coast. He also leads Dutchess County’s Rev250 Commission and administers the Dutchess County Rev250 Programming Grant, which has underwritten 22 new projects in 2025.
