McAuliffe Book Discussion (Evening): The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo
In the last years of the dying Qing Empire, a courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Her death is clouded by rumors of foxes, which are believed to lure people by transforming themselves into beautiful women and handsome men. Bao, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman’s identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they’ve remained tantalizingly out of reach—until, perhaps, now.

Sci-Fi Book Discussion: Orbital by Samantha Harvey
Life on our planet as you've never seen it before
A team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day.
Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction.
The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity?

D&D Campaign: The Quest
Welcome to Tor, a land of ancient magic, sleepy towns, and whispered legends. Life has always been simple—until now.
Strange things have been happening across the realm:
• Travelers speak of creatures never before seen, roaming the forests and skies…
• Entire villages report strange curses, spreading like wildfire without explanation…
• And in the darkest corners of the land, the dead are beginning to rise.
In the bustling town of Greybend, four strangers meet in a tavern for their very first mission.
Their task? Help sweet Old Lady Nessa with a rat problem in her cellar.
But what begins as a small job quickly spirals into something far greater—and far more dangerous—than anyone could have expected.
“The Quest” is a Dungeons & Dragons jump-in adventure perfect for new players and experienced adventurers alike. Dive into an epic story full of mystery, magic, monsters, and more!
All materials provided—just show up on time, ready to play! No experience needed. Just bring your imagination and your sense of adventure.
Dare to take the first step? The world of Tor awaits.

Independent Local Journalism In A Digital Age
Join Bill Shaner, founder of the newsletter Worcester Sucks and I Love It, to discuss the decline of legacy media and the rise of new methods of local journalism.
Without intervention, experimentation, and reinvention, the craft of local journalism could soon become a relic of a different time. Media consolidation is destroying local newspapers across the country. There are five times fewer working local journalists than there were even just a decade ago. With legacy media in decline, new methods for the distribution of and funding of local journalism are on the rise. The lines between journalist, citizen journalist, and concerned resident are blurring, especially at the local level--to positive but often negative effect. How to navigate it all? How can you fill the gaps emerging in your community? These are questions Bill Shaner, founder of the newsletter Worcester Sucks and I Love It, will tackle. Shaner's independent outlet has thousands of subscribers. He has written for Mother Jones, The Intercept, Teen Vogue, The Columbia Journalism Review and Welcome To Hell World, among others.

D&D Campaign: The Quest
Welcome to Tor, a land of ancient magic, sleepy towns, and whispered legends. Life has always been simple—until now.
Strange things have been happening across the realm:
• Travelers speak of creatures never before seen, roaming the forests and skies…
• Entire villages report strange curses, spreading like wildfire without explanation…
• And in the darkest corners of the land, the dead are beginning to rise.
In the bustling town of Greybend, four strangers meet in a tavern for their very first mission.
Their task? Help sweet Old Lady Nessa with a rat problem in her cellar.
But what begins as a small job quickly spirals into something far greater—and far more dangerous—than anyone could have expected.
“The Quest” is a Dungeons & Dragons jump-in adventure perfect for new players and experienced adventurers alike. Dive into an epic story full of mystery, magic, monsters, and more!
All materials provided—just show up on time, ready to play! No experience needed. Just bring your imagination and your sense of adventure.

D&D Campaign: The Quest
Welcome to Tor, a land of ancient magic, sleepy towns, and whispered legends. Life has always been simple—until now.
Strange things have been happening across the realm:
• Travelers speak of creatures never before seen, roaming the forests and skies…
• Entire villages report strange curses, spreading like wildfire without explanation…
• And in the darkest corners of the land, the dead are beginning to rise.
In the bustling town of Greybend, four strangers meet in a tavern for their very first mission.
Their task? Help sweet Old Lady Nessa with a rat problem in her cellar.
But what begins as a small job quickly spirals into something far greater—and far more dangerous—than anyone could have expected.
“The Quest” is a Dungeons & Dragons jump-in adventure perfect for new players and experienced adventurers alike. Dive into an epic story full of mystery, magic, monsters, and more!
All materials provided—just show up on time, ready to play! No experience needed. Just bring your imagination and your sense of adventure.
Dare to take the first step? The world of Tor awaits.
Registration required, space is limited: https://framinghamlibrary.short.gy/DnD-the-quest
