FAMILY YOGA: Join Balancing Bear Yoga here at the library on Tuesday, November 5th, at 6:00 PM for a 45 minute yoga class for you and your child to discover the magic of yoga through games, music, movement, breathing and more.

THE CONNECTICUT: New England’s Great River -- The largest river in New England rises in a small beaver pond near the Canadian border and flows over 400 miles through four states, falling 2,670 feet to the sea through America's only watershed-based national fish and wildlife refuge. Adair Mulligan leads an armchair tour of this great river in New Hampshire and Vermont, exploring its history and natural beauty through the seasons and among the communities that have sprung up along its banks. Next, the discussion will shift to how the river has influenced the lives of those who live there, and how they, in turn, have affected the river. Much more than a travelogue, this presentation explores the many issues involved in managing the health of this major river, and how citizens from all walks of life have created a vision for its future.

The Presenter: Adair Mulligan has a runaway curiosity about the natural and cultural history of northern New England. Author of The Gunstock Parish: A History of Gilford, New Hampshire, she has also contributed to Proud to Live Here in the Connecticut River Valley; Where the Great River Rises: An Atlas of the Upper Connecticut River; and Beyond the Notches: Stories of Place in New Hampshire's North Country. Executive Director of the Hanover Conservancy, she served for 20 years as Conservation Director of the Connecticut River Joint Commissions. Mulligan holds an MA degree from Smith College.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library and a grant through the New Hampshire Humanities. Free and open to the public. Please register to attend this event happening on Thursday, November 7th, at 6:30 PM.
