Simsbury Public Library

The end of summer is a unique time of year when hints of fall begin to emerge, and an excellent time to begin, continue, or restart a nature journaling practice. Humans, animals, and plants are all beginning to shift at this time; people begin to focus on harvest and returning to school routines, animals may begin migrating, and plants release their seeds. Nature journaling is relaxing, centering, and grounding. Together, we will learn to closely observe the natural world and record our personal experiences using writing and/or expressive drawing. This is a great way to learn mindfulness, get connected to the present moment, appreciate nature and the environment all around us, and learn in a supportive and community atmosphere. No experience needed! All supplies provided. If weather conditions are favorable, we will be spending some time outside walking on a trail behind the library, so prepare for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Join us as we chat with award-winning historian David O. Stewart about his newest work, The Democracy We Must Keep, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America's founders say about democracy, and can we remain true to their vision for America?
Two hundred fifty years ago, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies, but on ideas where the people ruled.
In The Democracy We Must Keep, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution.
Through the words of seven visionary founders—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and others—Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape.
These men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy:
<ul><li>Power must be limited.</li><li>Leaders must answer to the people.</li><li>Individual rights must be protected by law.</li></ul>
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, The Democracy We Must Keep urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation—and to consider what it will take to protect them.
