SUMMARY:Whiting Library Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Whiting Library Book Club is holding our monthly book discussion at the library in the community room (masks required!) and simultaneously live on Zoom. The book for January is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. \n\nFahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury. Often regarded as one of his best works\, the novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found. The book’s tagline explains the title as “the temperature at which book paper catches fire\, and burns”: the autoignition temperature of paper. The lead character\, Guy Montag\, is a fireman who becomes disillusioned with his role of censoring literature and destroying knowledge\, eventually quitting his job and committing himself to the preservation of literary and cultural writings. \n\nIf you have any questions or would like to get on the email list for the Book Club\, please contact Deirdre at the library. You can email whitinglibrary1@gmail.com or call 875-2277.

But can he fix his own? \nMonsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine\, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs\, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can’t seem to heal through literature is himself; he’s still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter\, which he has never opened. \nAfter Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter\, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France\, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef\, Perdu travels along the country’s rivers\, dispensing his wisdom and his books\, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself. \nInternationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure\, The Little Paris Bookshop is a love letter to books\, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people’s lives. \n

SUMMARY:Local Food and Fuel Assistance Info Session- 100% Campaign!
DESCRIPTION:Two local organizations – Senior Solutions and the Chester-Andover Family Center – have come together to launch a campaign to ensure that 100% of residents of those towns are both food and fuel secure as we enter the winter months. \nDo you have questions about what food and fuel benefits are available and how to apply for them? Whiting Library is hosting two info sessions this December to answer all your questions. Come to the library during the following times to meet with Thom Simmons from Senior Solutions and the Chester-Andover 100% Campaign: \nWednesday\, December 8th\, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Whiting Library \nSaturday\, December 11th\, from 10 am to 12pm at Whiting Library \n  \nDuring early December\, every household in Chester and Andover will receive a letter from the Chester-Andover 100% Campaign briefly describing on-going programs that provide help with food and fuel resources locally. Included in the letter will be a 4 x 9 card listing the contact information of the organizations and services provided by each. This information will also be made available at town institutions\, churches\, and Whiting Library. \nThom Simmons\, Outreach Specialist for Senior Solutions\, noted that “More than 60% of our local seniors who are eligible for food and fuel benefits do not participate in these programs. The Fuel Assistance program alone can provide up to $3\,000 annually to help people with their fuel bills\, and that’s a lot of money to be ‘leaving on the table’ during a Vermont winter. We want people to understand that participation in these programs helps strengthen local communities and their economies.  More than 9 million dollars is added to the Vermont economy each month through the 3SquaresVT program alone\, and that doesn’t even include the multiplying effect of those dollars throughout the community.” \nThom will be holding ‘open hours’ to answer any questions residents may have related to the 3SquaresVT food benefits and Fuel Assistance programs at the following locations: \nFriday\, Dec. 3\, from 10 am to Noon at the Chester-Andover Family Center \nWednesday\, Dec 8\, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Whiting Library in Chester \nSaturday\, Dec 11\, from 10 am to Noon at Whiting Library in Chester \nFriday\, Dec 17\, from 10 am to Noon at the Chester-Andover Family Center \n  \nChester-Andover Food Shelf and Thrift Shop Hours Change \nThe timing of the campaign coincides with the change in hours at the CAFC\, which offers nutritious food\, affordable clothing and household goods\, and provides financial assistance.

They braved some of the heaviest fighting of the war\, and with their code\, they saved countless American lives. Yet their story remained classified for more than twenty years. \nJoseph Bruchac brings their stories to life for young adults through the riveting fictional tale of Ned Begay\, a sixteen-year-old Navajo boy who becomes a code talker. His grueling journey is eye-opening and inspiring. This deeply affecting novel honors all of those young men\, like Ned\, who dared to serve\, and it honors the culture and language of the Navajo Indians.
