Join us for an author talk with Harwich author Deborah Swiss. She
will be at the library to discuss her book, The Tin Ticket: The Heroic Journey of
Australia's Convict Women. Lovers
of history and readers who enjoy compelling, true stories about the resiliency
of the human spirit will not want to miss this talk.
During the nineteenth century, 25,000 girls and women, convicted
of mostly petty crimes, were transported to Australia from the United Kingdom and later became the founding mothers of modern
Australia. They arrived as
nothing more than property, but they managed not only to endure their privation
and pain but to thrive on their own terms, breaking the chains of bondage, and
forging a society that treated women as equals and led the world in women's
rights.
After the author talk, enjoy a
performance from singer/songwriter Digney Fignus who will perform "All for
Love," a song he wrote to honor Australia’s convict maids and survivors
everywhere.

This month we are holding two eBook demonstrations at the library. Whether you plan to read on your computer, smartphone, tablet or Kindle, we can help you get started with free eBooks and eAudiobooks from the library. Join our Reference Librarian Nicole at either workshop to learn the basics of using the
OverDrive eBook website and app. She will show how to search for a book, place a hold, and download a book.
OverDrive recently updated their website and mobile app, so even if you have downloaded books in the past, feel free to stop by to learn about the new features. All experience levels are welcome at this demonstration.
If you have specific questions or need help setting up your device, there will be time after for individual help. We also have Device Drop-In times scheduled every Thursday from 3-4pm for any questions you may have about using technology.
This is not a hands on workshop, so a mobile device is not required for this demonstration.
Friday afternoons from 2:00-4:00 January and February
We will show an Irish movie each Friday afternoon in January and February. This program is hosted by Mary Ann Eaton, an instructor of Irish Literature. After each movie stick around for a brief cultural discussion! No admission fee, no sign-up required.
