For the month of May, we will be reading and discussing The Spectacular by Fiona Davis.
Set in the 1950s, Marion Brooks is the Rockette’s newest dancer, but she soon learns that the stage is a cutthroat place for a young woman — and so is the big city. When an elusive bomber targets Radio City, Marion begins to hunt for the truth, but doing so puts herself and her family in peril.

Please join us to view the American Chestnut Foundation's documentary, "Clear Day Thunder: Rescuing the American Chestnut." This is the story of a tree. A mighty wonder that graced the forests of Appalachia and sustained all forms of life. At the turn of the 20th century, a deadly blight accidentally imported into the U.S. from Asia devasted the American Chestnut. Within a span of only two generations, the tree was nearly extinct. This is a story of people. This new documentary film tells the story of passionate citizen scientists and researchers working to restore this ecologically and economically important species, during this pivotal moment. This is the story about promise. The tree that forged a connection with humankind has been embraced in turn by humans who, invigorated by hope, are working tirelessly to revive this magnificent tree - so that it can once again help shape the future.
