Have you been hearing about forest therapy lately? Or maybe you've read about forest bathing and wondered, what could that be like? Here is your chance to learn about this growing practice and the healing benefits of time in nature. Although many countries outside the US have embraced nature as an essential part of daily life, we have become more disconnected from nature over time. In this presentation you will learn what forest therapy is, the benefits of the practice and experience a few sample invitations.
About the Presenter
Jeni Gabrenya is a lifelong nature lover and certified forest therapy guide trained through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs. Jeni volunteers with several environmental conservation groups and has spent 25 years in leadership roles with violence prevention organizations. She believes in the healing power of nature which led her to this practice. Her guided walks help people slow down and reconnect with themselves and the natural world. Jeni’s guiding style is playful and opens the door for the healing powers of nature to work their magic.&nbsp;Select the link above to save your seat for this interactive &amp; educational talk or call Frankfort Library Adult Services at 815-534-6173.

One hundred years ago, Route 66 was born. The famous federal highway was commissioned in 1926 and stretched 2,400 miles to connect Chicago to California. Over the next century, millions of people traveled that ribbon of highway. Route 66 witnessed depression and war and boom times and decline. The experiences it offered were as diverse and complicated as America itself.&nbsp;
This presentation explores the history of Route 66 and the experiences of everyday people who lived, worked, and traveled along the Mother Road during its heyday. Through this presentation you will:&nbsp;
<ul><li>Experience some of the 100 oral histories compiled by the Illinois State Museum providing insights of travelers’ own words of what it was like “back in the day.”</li><li>Learn about discrimination faced by Black travelers on Route 66 and the strategies they employed to ensure safety and dignity while traveling.&nbsp;</li><li>Learn about the differences in road travel in the mid-20th century vs. today.&nbsp;</li></ul>
At the end of the presentation, attendees will be invited to share their road trip memories and/or memories of Route 66.Select the link above to save your place for this special presentation or call Frankfort Library Adult Services at 815-534-6173.

R.F. Kuang’s genre-bending fiction broaches ordinarily serious topics from a satirical and fantastical perspective. Academic yet approachable, Kuang’s work combines history, magic, and classical literary tradition to render powerful critiques of academia, the publishing industry, and even contemporary popular culture.&nbsp;
Her most recent novel,&nbsp;Katabasis, follows two graduate students as they descend into hell after the death of their professor, and the screen rights options to the novel were sold to Amazon MGM Studios for an upcoming TV series before its publication. Kuang’s other bestselling titles include&nbsp;Yellowface,&nbsp;Babel, and&nbsp;The Poppy War&nbsp;trilogy, and she is the recipient of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Fiction, and the American Book Award.&nbsp;
Kelly Jensen, an anti-censorship advocate, a senior editor at Book Riot, and writer who has compiled such anthologies as Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World and&nbsp;(Don’t) Call Me Crazy, will be joining Kuang in conversation.
This event is intended for adults. Registration for this event closes at 5pm on event day. Late registrations will be processed after the live event, allowing access to the event recording.
This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP), a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Office of the Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).&nbsp;
ILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility.&nbsp;American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Closed Captioning are provided for all events by default—no special request needed.
