We had such a great time chatting with author Shannon McKenna Schmidt earlier this year to discuss Lady Bird Johnson, we just had to have her back! This time she will be discussing her book, "<a href="https://danvers.noblenet.org/Record/5023139?searchId=10962716&amp;recordIndex=1&amp;page=1&amp;referred=resultIndex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The First Lady of World War II: Eleanor Roosevelt's Daring Journey to the Frontlines and Back</a> - the first book to tell the full story of Eleanor Roosevelt's unprecedented and courageous trip to the Pacific Theater during World War II. We'll discuss how the trip impacted the war effort, Eleanor, and the world. It's guaranteed to be a fascinating conversation and we hope you can join us for it!

About The First Lady of World War II:
On August 27, 1943, news broke in the United States that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was on the other side of the world. A closely guarded secret, she had left San Francisco aboard a military transport plane headed for the South Pacific to support and report the troops on WW2's front lines.
Americans had believed she was secluded at home.
As Allied forces battled the Japanese for control of the region, Eleanor was there on the frontlines, spending five weeks traveling, on a mission as First Lady of the United States to experience what our servicemen were experiencing... and report back home.
"No other U.S. mother had seen so much of the panorama of the war, had been closer to the sweat and boredom, the suffering."
―Time, October 4, 1943

Spurred by the French and Indian War, Pontiac’s Rebellion and the Proclamation Line, the American Revolution changed the world and ultimately the land that would become the United States. Indigenous nations were placed in a position to decide how best to protect their lands and people. Working on promises made to them by the Patriot cause, many nations ultimately fought for the Colonists. Learn who these nations were, what their contributions were to the struggle for Independence and the the ultimate betrayal they faced afterwards.&nbsp;

&nbsp;“Reducing Stress This Holiday Season through Meditation ”
The scientific community has recently been exploring the use of meditation as a healing modality. Join Dave Buck long time meditator as he discusses the extraordinary effect of meditation. It can reduce stress-related responses, improve concentration, enhance clarity of thought and mental equilibrium. He will also present a simple, yet powerful time-tested meditation technique that will be explained and practiced during the session. This can enrich one’s life personally, professionally, spiritually and help with seasonal stress.<a href="https://danverslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/zoom-program-reducing-stress-this-holiday-season-through-meditation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Click here to register.</a>
About Dave Buck:
Dave Buck and his wife, Nora, have lived in South Florida for over 20 years. He is a recently retired Senior Manager of Product Development Engineering with a Fortune 500 company.
Dave has been meditating for over 45 years after spending two months with his teacher in India as a young man. He has found meditation to be an oasis of calm from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Whether we are a student, still in the work-a-day world, or living an active retirement, stresses and strains are a common feature of everyday living. Meditation can help us relax and rise above the stress of life. Our problems do not disappear, but meditation helps to smooth out the rough patches. We begin to see with a new perspective that is positive and life affirming.
This is part of our Monthly Meditation Series.

Run by twin sisters Lily and Hannah Barrett, Read My Lips Boston is a pop-up diverse romance bookshop based in the Boston area. Read My Lips partners with breweries and cafes to host mobile shops with love stories starring those identifying as BIPOC, disabled, queer, big-bodied, and members of other groups historically underrepresented in the romance genre.
To Lily and Hannah, elevating their community is paramount; The shop gives 10% of its proceeds to area nonprofits. Read My Lips' mission addresses a gap the sisters felt growing up. Born deaf, they received cochlear implants as toddlers. Their parents read to them, teaching them speech and fostering a love of reading. Growing up, Lily and Hannah loved romance novels but struggled to find characters they could relate to. They started Read My Lips because they believe everyone deserves to be seen as the hero — not typecast as a villain or sidekick based on white, cis, hetero, straight-bodied and abled standards.
