SUMMARY:1776 at 250: Celebrating America's History with Song & Story
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging lecture hosted by Professor Gil Harel\, exploring the iconic musical 1776 in the context of America’s 250th birthday in 2026. This talk will delve into how the musical\, first performed in 1969\, vividly portrays the struggles and compromises surrounding the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, capturing the revolutionary spirit of the nation’s founding.  As we approach the semiquincentennial\, Professor Harel will discuss how 1776 not only celebrates America’s birth but also confronts its complexities\, such as the debate over slavery\, as seen in powerful songs like “Molasses to Rum.”

SUMMARY:For the Love of the Game: Baseball panel at Fairfield Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Town Librarian Scott Jarzombek (a die-hard Mets fan\, himself) moderates a discussion of everything baseball with two dedicated fans\, former Little League coach Matt McGuire and MLB.com reporter Michael Clair.\n\n\nMatt\, whose four sons kept him involved in Fairfield Little League for 15 years as a coach\, commissioner\, board member and president\, is the author of Fairfield American: a Legacy of Little League Dreams (2025).

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Brigitte Dale
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield Public Library welcomes author\, editor and historian Brigitte Dale\, who will be discussing her first novel\, The Good Daughters.  Brigitte grew up in Fairfield and still resides in Connecticut\, where she is an editor by day and an author by night (or early morning!)\n\n\nThe Good Daughters is a moving and vivid story of three suffragettes in 1912 London\, from wildly different backgrounds but bound by their desire to have a say in their future.  Fiona Davis\, NY Times best-selling author of The Stolen Queen\, says “Dale’s beautifully written  novel drew me right in–it was almost as if I was  marching right along with her vibrant cast of characters in their fight for suffrage.”\n\n\nPlease register.
