West Tisbury To Hold
Focus Groups on Design
The West Tisbury Public Library will host a series of targeted focus groups in November, part of its ongoing effort to gather community comment on the proposed renovation and expansion of its facility.
Author Chip Bishop’s great-great-uncle, Joseph Bucklin Bishop, was a newspaper editor during the time of Theodore Roosevelt. One of the stories he covered was the construction of the Panama Canal, the transoceanic canal that today seems a foregone conclusion but at the time was considered by many to be a fool’s errand.
This Monday, Nov. 7, and continuing for the next few months the West Tisbury Library will be going silent, on screen, that is. It’s a silent film series, so appropriate, really, for a place that still holds sacred the power of the shhhh.
Afghanistan Talk
South Asian scholar Jim Norton leads a discussion series throughout November in response to a recent book, The Wars of Afghanistan, by Peter Tomsen. This program will explore Mr. Tomsen’s firsthand account of Afghanistan’s recent history, and examine his recommendations for constructive response in this part of the world.
The series begins on Tuesday, Nov. 8 and continues on Nov. 15 and 22 and takes place at the Vineyard Haven Public Library. All evenings begin at 7 p.m.
