SUMMARY:Music Together with Stacey Pavesi Debré (ages 0–5)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today\, it’s common for us to simply listen to music rather than create it ourselves. But actively making music—with our voices and our bodies—is important to children’s overall development. Since 1987\, Music Together\, has introduced millions of children\, parents\, and teachers to the joys of music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. In our family workshops children and parents learn together through active exploration and live\, meaningful interaction. So\, take out the earbuds and pick up the instruments we were all given at birth—ourselves! Each child (aged 0–5) should accompany one of their favorite grownups. \nAbout Stacey Pavesi Debré:  An American in Paris since 2014\, Stacey has been passionate about music and learning her whole life. She studied piano and string bass\, joined choirs\, orchestras\, a capella groups and musical theaters\, and worked as a vocalist in Japan and a singing bartender in NYC. In 2017\, Stacey founded Bébé Music Box to bring Music Together’s award-winning music and movement classes to families and schools in Paris. Our weekly mixed-age family classes are a fun\, dynamic\, and inspiring way for families to connect through music. Plus\, because music learning supports all learning\, the benefits for our young music-makers extend well beyond class. For more information about Bébé Music Box family classes or to contact Stacey\, visit www.bbmusicbox.com.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Examined Life with Scott Hershovitz and Sarah Bakewell
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message]The Library will be closed on this day for the Ascension holiday.\nLibrary services will not be available.\nDoors will open at 19h00. \nEvent will be followed by a reception.[/vc_message][vc_column_text]In Nasty\, Brutish\, and Short\, Scott Hershovitz\, co-writing with his two young children\, uses the child’s sense of curiosity and simplicity as a starting point from which to investigate ethics\, existence\, religion\, identity\, and justice from fresh perspectives. In his latest book\, Law is a Moral Practice\, Scott Hershovitz approaches the relationship between moral action and the law with refreshing frankness and levity\, uncovering a very human history of setting\, breaking\, and remaking rules for good living. \nSarah Bakewell’s work is similarly engaged with the idea of ethical living. Her latest book\, Humanly Possible\, masterfully recounts the long history of humanism and freethinking. Join these two professional philosophers to discuss the big questions of life: the nature of goodness\, the possibility of ethical living\, and the meaning of being human. \nJoin the two authors as they consider philosophy’s most fundamental questions\, the eternal urgency of philosophy\, and the necessity of making philosophical thought accessible to all.  \nAbout the speakers: \nScott Hershovitz is director of the Law and Ethics Program and professor of law and philosophy at the University of Michigan. He holds a BA in philosophy and politics from the University of Georgia\, a JD from Yale Law School\, and a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Professor Hershovitz served as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court. He is the author of Nasty\, Brutish\, and Short\, co-written with his two young children. He is married to Julie Kaplan\, a social worker\, whom he met at summer camp. They live in Ann Arbor with their two children\, Rex and Hank.  \nSarah Bakewell is the author of several works of biography and philosophy\, including At the Existentialist Café and How to Live: a life of Montaigne. Her latest\, Humanly Possible: 700 years of humanist freethinking\, enquiry\, and hope\, was a New York Times bestseller in 2023 and was named by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of the year.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nHershovitz’s first book\, Nasty\, Brutish\, and Short\, takes the hilarious and profound questions of young children as the starting point for serious philosophical inquiry. You can read an excerpt from the book here. \nA New York Times review of Humanly Possible explains that Bakewell “delights in the paradoxical and the particular\, reminding us that every human being contains multitudes.” Read the review here.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Forgotten Soldiers of D-Day with Linda Hervieux and Raymond Kemp
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]African Americans served with bravery and distinction in every conflict since the American Revolution. Yet the stories of these heroes have been consistently omitted from our collective memory.

The men of Forgotten will be featured in an episode of the upcoming National Geographic/Disney+ series Erased: WW2’s Heroes of Color. \nRaymond D. Kemp\, Sr.\, was appointed by President Biden to the American Battle Monuments Commission. During a 33-year career in the U.S. Navy\, Kemp served as the first Black Fleet Master Chief for the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa.

In her new collection Solutions for the Problems of Bodies in Space\, Barnett probes the complexities of love\, loss\, and deliberate living.  \nMaureen McLane’s new book\, My Poetics\, explores poems as speculative instruments and as ways of registering our very sense of being alive.  \nBarnett and McLane will read and discuss loneliness as a source of artistic creation and the urgency of poetry in an increasingly isolating world.  \nJoin us as we explore the problems of being human brought into new relief through the contours of poetry.  \nAbout the speakers: \nCatherine Barnett is the author of four poetry collections\, including Solutions for the Problem of Bodies in Space (2024 Graywolf); Human Hours (New York Times “Best Poetry of 2018” selection); The Game of Boxes (James Laughlin Award); and Into Perfect Spheres Such Holes Are Pierced (Beatrice Hawley Award).

SUMMARY:(Online Only) A Personal History of Protest with Jen Silverman
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In There’s Going to Be Trouble\, a young teacher seeking new beginnings arrives in Paris as the Gilet Jaune protests are gaining momentum. Drawn into a love affair and the political turmoil simultaneously\, she struggles to distinguish between the overlapping passions of her new life. Accompanying this story is the discovery of a hidden family history of protest nearly fifty years prior\, in the late 1960s. As secrets of political alignment and engagement come to light\, our narrator discovers that the past and its consequences are nearer than she knew. \nJen Silverman presents a portrait that echoes across history\, and a searching investigation into the responsibilities we hold to past\, the present\, and future generations.  \nAbout the speaker: \nJen Silverman (they/them) is a novelist\, playwright\, and screenwriter. Their books include the debut novel We Play Ourselves (named one of the best books of the year by Buzzfeed; a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award)\, interlinked story collection The Island Dwellers (finalist for a PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize)\, and novel There’s Going to be Trouble\, newly out from Random House. Their plays include Spain\, Witch\, Collective Rage: A Play In 5 Betties\, and The Roommate\, and have been produced off-Broadway\, across the US\, and internationally in countries including Australia\, The Czech Republic\, Brazil\, and the UK. Silverman wrote The Miranda Obsession as a narrative podcast for Audible\, starring Rachel Brosnahan; it debuted at #3 in Fiction on Audible’s weekly best-seller list and won four Signal Awards. Silverman has written on Tales of the City (Netflix) and is a writer-producer on Tokyo Vice Season 2 (Max). Silverman is a three-time MacDowell Fellow\, a member of New Dramatists\, a Scholar of Note at the American Library in Paris\, and the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim.  \nThe Library’s Scholar of Note program is supported by The de Groot Foundation.
