This is not a diary or an agenda but creativity unbound to inspire you, to keep track of your past, organize your present and plan for your future.

Stop by the library from March 11 to April 29 during opening hours to see Warren Podguszer’s Art Show. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Warren Podguszer or « Wawapod », is 29 years old and lives in Paris. He has been practicing street photography for 6 years. At the beginning of his artistic journey, he created works of art digitally using images and photos. However, very quickly, he felt the urge to work with canvas. He equates painting to cooking, even if he doesn’t really know how to cook. When he paints, he has the impression that he takes ingredients he loves, here and there, and then mixes them to create a dish that makes him feel good!

Through his art, he aims to share nostalgic memories with the public. He tries, most of the time, with a range of colors, to bring to life characters that made us dream during our childhood. He takes great pleasure in creating worlds that mix references from our past or our present. The idea behind his art is also to provoke different reactions from the public by adding sentences to make people think, laugh or to denounce an issue. Passionate about art, he enjoys integrating iconic works of art into his style.

Like a journey inside his head, through his thoughts, dreams and inspirations.

Join the library for a Zoom talk with Henri Landes, first speaker for the library’s « Think Big, Think Green » speaker series. Now is the time to think about how our choices in buying and producing food impact sustainability.

Henri Landes is Cofounder and Director of the Landestini, (www.landestini.org) a non profit organization which aims to reconnect people to land and nature. Education and awareness raising on sustainable food production and consumption are among its primary activities. Henri Landes also teaches environmental and agricultural policy at the Institute of Political Sciences, Sciences Po Paris. Having grown up in San Francisco, he is now living on a farm in Auvergne, France.

Henri Landes is most interested in how to relocalize the food system and change consumer behavior in order to preserve public health and the environment. In this talk, Henri Landes will do an overview of food, agricultural and environmental policy in France and the United States, and focus as well on education and on how to foster stewardship and engagement at the individual level. As comparisons between the two countries and cultures will be numerous, this talk will also be the perfect occasion to analyze and anticipate the new environmental era of President Joe Biden.

This talk is free and open to the public. There will be a 40-minute talk followed by a question-and-answer session. Click here for Zoom link. The library will also be projecting this event on a screen in the library for anyone who prefers to see it in our space. Limited to 15. First come first serve.
