The Seymour Library welcomes the historian John Cilio.
Mr. Cilio will be examining one of the enduring symbols of Old New England--along with old houses and stone walls--the tombstones of the Puritans in churchyards and burial places.
Due to the Puritans' theology the tombstone was one of the few artistic works that were considered acceptable in their society and the stones gave form to their thoughts on death, resurrection and state of the soul after death.
Sometimes the stones don't easily give up the names of their makers but with modern researching tools the names of these carvers are being revealed. Mr. Cilio will examine the lives and careers of the makers of these haunting "theology in stone" made for eternity and glory to God.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.

The Seymour Public Library welcomes magician Chris Lengyel. Mr. Lengyel will give a talk&nbsp; on the life and career of Harry Houdini ending with a tribute performance of magic.
The year of 2026 is the 100th anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini. Despite the decades the name of Harry Houdini is still recognizable to the public as magician, an escape artist, an actor and an acknowledged expert on spiritualism fraud.
Beyond his skill on stage, acting in silent movies and escapes from locked boxes, underwater or being entombed--Houdini became known to modern audiences for his death on Halloween and the seances to contact his spirit by first his widow Bess and later by other magicians and magic societies.
Mr. Lengyel will talk about Houdini's life, career and his influence on magic and pop culture. He will perform magic tricks inspired by Houdini or that Houdini used to perform himself.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.
