After a successful Summer Lecture Series we are
happy to present this special lecture with wildlife
researcher and photographer Brad Winn at the Rochester
Public Library Thursday, August 28th at 7:00 pm
. He will speak about the Birds of Alaska’s
Arctic Refuge and National Petroleum Reserve and
discuss findings from ongoing research on the
specific seasonal landscape needs of the shorebirds
that nest on Alaska’s North Slope. Come
hear about some of the findings and see his photographs
from 4 research expeditions to the arctic. Refreshments
will be served after the talk.
Later in the evening, Barak Obama’s acceptance
speech from the Democratic National Convention
will be projected on the big screen. Join us for
this first in a series of programs and forums
on Election 08. Candidates for local and statewide
office are invited to speak at the library during
this election season..
Many thanks to our
2008 Summer lecture speakers:
Mary Davis,
Bill Zucca, Ellen Frost,
Josh Landis, Tom Perera,
Ann
Van Dusen and David Sprague

The library is accepting donations for the ongoing
book sale. Your donations of gently used
or collectible books are welcomed.
Donors may also sponsor the expansion of
our collection of classic authors. The Adopt-an-Author
program allows the library to acquire all of the
new titles published by their chosen author.
When a new title becomes available the sponsor
is placed 1st in the hold queue, has her/his name
placed on a donor plate on the title page, and
reimburses the library for the cost of the book.
This cost is usually 25-45% off cover price.>>
