Youth Summer Reading Program: Stories on the Wild Side with Squam Lakes Science Center
Friday, July 17 at 10:45am
Join us for this free virtual event with Squam Lakes Science Center!
Reading and science come together in this fun program blending storytelling with up close encounters with three live, native, New Hampshire wild animals. Animal characters in stories are often very different from real animals, but we can still learn important truths about animals through stories. A naturalist will read aloud short stories featuring animals and the natural world, and then introduce one or two of the story’s wild characters. Visits with live animals featured in the tales will challenge kids to separate fact from fiction.

Movie Group: Captain Fantastic
Tuesday, July 28 at 6:30pm
Join us to talk about the film "Captain Fantastic."
Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, isolated from society, a devoted father (Viggo Mortensen) dedicates his life to transforming his six young children into extraordinary adults. But when a tragedy strikes the family, they are forced to leave this self-created paradise and begin a journey into the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent and brings into question everything he's taught them.
Nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTA Awards. Winner of a Directing Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film is available for free on Kanopy. For the Zoom link, meeting ID, and password please email librarian@townofbristolnh.org or call 603-744-3352.
"World War" of the 18th Century in NH
Wednesday, July 29 at 6:30pm
On 29 July 2020, Dr. Richard Lobban, Bridgewater resident, and retired professor of Anthropology at Rhode Island College and Adjunct Professor at the Naval War College, will speak about the "World Wars" in NH in the 18th century and what lead up to them and the implications thereafter. It will focus on the warring Native American nations, the English, the French and especially the native ethnography. The talk will be built around the multiple voices of this complex conflict and the contradictions of native peoples defending their land and the European nations that had opposing goals, including the 'Republic of Indian Stream' (1832-1842). Returning the wheel of early NH history is not possible, but viewed today in the lens of cultural diversity we might have had a different modern outcome.
