SUMMARY:Story Hour: Poems and Poets (ages 3–5)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]For this program\, join us for stories in rhyme and books about poets and poetry. Stories featured in this event include picture books such as Poems in the Attic by by Nikki Grimes\,* illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon\, and A Poem in Your Pocket by by Margaret McNamara and Brian Karas (pictured here). We’ll also sing songs and practice rhymes. \nThis program is entirely in English\, and no translation will be provided. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Children’s and Teens’ Services staff members will read books and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live\, interactive session. Plan to join in\, sing along\, move around\, and model movement and listening for your little one. We ask that all caregivers put away their phones and other electronic devices for the duration of this program. With your help\, we hope to inspire children to become lifelong readers! \nAward-winning author Nikki Grimes will speak at the Library on 29 May 2026.

SUMMARY:The Elements of Power with Nicolas Niarchos and Pierre Haski
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”RSVP Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fhost.nxt.blackbaud.com%2Fregistration-form%2F%3FformId%3Ddcad3a9f-73e2-42fa-acbc-8a470d4e8d85%26envId%3Dp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g%26zone%3Deur|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”Zoom Link” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fus06web.zoom.us%2Fj%2F89898276393|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]What does it really take to power a “green” future? Where do the minerals inside our phones and electric cars come from—and at what cost? Who bears the burden of the world’s race to decarbonize?  \nIn The Elements of Power\, journalist Nicolas Niarchos delivers a deeply reported account of the global scramble for the metals that fuel the energy transition. Tracing supply chains from Central Africa to Beijing and Washington\, he reveals how the fight over battery minerals is reshaping geopolitics—and exposing the devastating human consequences of our best intentions. \nNicolas Niarchos will be joined in conversation by journalist Pierre Haski. \nAbout the speakers: \nNicolas Niarchos is a journalist whose work focuses on energy\, war\, and migration. He is the editor and co-founder of Now Voyager\, a new magazine of international affairs. He has been a contributing writer at the New Yorker since 2014\, where he initially started as a fact-checker. His reporting has also appeared in the Nation\, the New York Times\, and the Guardian. In 2023\, he won an Edward R. Murrow Award for a radio report from Ukraine produced with the New Yorker and WNYC\, and his work on mining in Indonesia was shortlisted for a 2024 Livingston Award. He has testified before Congress on the effects of Congolese battery metal mining. His debut book\, The Elements of Power\, was published in January 2026. The book traces the global supply chain of lithium-ion batteries from DR Congo to Indonesia to Western Sahara\, exposing the human cost of the critical minerals powering our phones\, laptops\, and electric vehicles. \nPierre Haski has worked as a journalist for over five decades\, first at Agence France-Presse and later at the French daily Libération. He was a foreign correspondent posted in Johannesburg\, Jerusalem and Beijing. In 2007 he cofounded the news website Rue89.com.
