Gilford Public Library. Notes from the Libraryby Mark Thomas, November 2, 2. STAND BACK! I’m going to do…. SCIENCE!” said the 5th grader as she added a little extra stuff to the mixture to see what would change. I remember when science had a reputation for being boring and confusing. It was something ‘white coats’ did before they told the world dubious facts.

Now, science is in. Its cool, like Fall’s first frost. As people, companies, and governmental organizations rely more on the results of scientific studies, scientific literacy has jumped into the public eye. Companies rely on studies to learn what works, so they need employees that can conduct studies and others that can read and understand them. It's not just pharmaceutical companies that use science, any results oriented organization looks to such studies to influence policy, and those that don’t are at a disadvantage. Here is a spot of logic.

Premise 1: Quality information promotes quality decision making. Premise 2: I want to make quality decisions.

Premise 3: Science provides higher quality information than not science. Premise 4: Scientific literacy is necessary to consistently understand information provided by science. Premise 5: Scientific material is readily available. If premise 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, then- -Conclusion 1: Reading scientific material with scientific literacy will promote quality decision making and- -Conclusion 2, I should do it!

The same is true if you swap ‘I’ out for ‘organizations.’    The Library helps a lot with Premise 5. With our scholarly databases, like EBSCO, our books, and our access to information from other libraries in the state, we can help people doing research to find what they need. We also help learners with Premise 4 by providing science books for kids that not only teach kids the tools they need, but also encourage them to pursue a scientific career, and to use science to form and defend their ideas.

Steve Mould’s book, ‘How to be a Scientist’ does just that, for example.    Recent juvenile biographies have been particularly cool. So far in 2. 01. 7 we added ‘Shark Lady’ about Eugenie Clark, ‘Caroline’s Comets’ about Caroline Herschel, ‘Margaret and the Moon’ about Margaret Hamilton (my personal favorite), all of which are in the Science & Tech section. There’s also ‘She Persisted: 1. American Women Who Changed the World’ by Chelsea Clinton.    It’s a bright future for scientific thinking, so come on by the library to learn some scientific literacy or put it to use, and bring the kids!

Notes from the Libraryby Mark Thomas, October 2. Phew! We just finished up doing book talks with almost the whole middle school. They like stories, that was clear, though I was amazed at how focused some of their interests were. Who likes fantasy?”- -one set of hands go up. Who reads realistic fiction?”- -another set of hands. On it went as I asked about sports, science fiction, historical fiction… They knew what they liked. Though I was glad that they have interests, it was a shame when I saw some eyes glaze over when I talked about a book that didn’t match what they think they would like.

Arielle and I handpicked the books we talked about, so obviously they are wonderful to the letter. It pains me to see someone miss out on a read that they might love, or that might have a profound effect on them, just because they haven’t given the genre a chance. The same phenomenon happens when adults are trying out the reading challenges. The first ten or so so categories are easy, but then you get to the ‘odd’ stuff. What’s odd to one reader is not necessarily odd to another, however.

One person does the High- Fantasy book first, while another leaves it until last. The genre that I think is most divisive is Horror. People love it or hate it, in my experience. I don’t mean realistic thrillers where someone is being chased by someone else with a gun.

I mean the kind of story where a house has old grudges, where ghosts are in the walls and they don’t like you, where fog is coming over the horizon and it portends death. Horror is fun for some readers- -they enjoy the chills, the feeling that something supernatural is happening. For me, I either get scared and hate the feeling, or I embrace my disbelief and mock the story.

Nonetheless, the occasional horror keeps me on my toes and keeps me open- minded, especially atmospheric horror. So maybe, since Halloween is near, try something different and see how it suits you.

The story takes place in an emergency clinic, where a young woman and a child talk in almost panicked, confused tones as the woman tries to remember what happened to her, and what is happening. House of Furies” by Madeleine Roux is cataloged as a Young Adult book, but it is more than horrifying enough for adults.

A young woman leaves a hostile school only to find work in boarding home that is weird, murderous, and vengeful. Those who have been wicked in their past are drawn there to be punished. I’m Thinking of Ending Things” by Iain Reid will give you chills, chills that will linger long after you finish reading.

The narrator known only as ‘The Girlfriend’ describes a trip she takes with her boyfriend to a family farm, but she has been thinking of ending the brief relationship even before things got strange. Going from snowy roads at night, to a farm with massive, empty buildings in the middle of nowhere, to another place (no spoilers) that would freak out even the most stable minds yields psychological horror in its essence. If you’re already a reader of horror, power to you (Pst, try something else)! Notes from the Libraryby Mark Thomas, October, 1.

Our display area hosts all kinds of art. Recently, we’ve seen art from Gilford High School students, a model train collection, egg shell art, local photography. It is building a reputation, thanks to Joanne’s work in finding talented artists to share their work and the magnanimity of the artists themselves. This month stands out with a collection of paintings by Jill Drew, who catered a themed collection for the library display specifically. Jill had only been painting for six months when Joanne asked her to display her work, but you would never know from seeing it. There seem to be two collections here, one is that of beautiful, flowing gowns, liquid hair, and vibrant colors.

The other is a set of portraits, each of which depicts a soldier that fell in U. S. conflict. The dichotomy is stark, but they demonstrate Jill’s eagerness to try new mediums and new materials. I asked Jill what motivated her, and her explanation made it clear that motivation is abundant. She started painting beautiful things. As she believes, ‘Love is the inspiration for art.’ She likes to paint emotion into her scenes, especially using a mix of watercolor and acrylic paint called gouache. Word for word, she said, “I have no idea what I’m doing,” but that is the case for any artist that knows they have more to learn and do. The fallen soldiers exhibit was conceived for this month’s display because Jill wanted to paint a theme that held meaning for her.

She has ‘great respect for our military’ and she thought that commemorating soldiers who have fallen in conflict would reflect that respect. She was right, in that the response of the families has been profound. A mother said to Jill, “You are keeping them alive.” Painting soldiers is profoundly emotional for Jill. She explains, “It’s a simple thing, but it has an impact.”.

She has made prints for the families. Originally she thought about giving the paintings to the families, as giving away her paintings is her favorite thing to do with them, but most families asked that the portraits be shared and displayed so that they could be seen. There are more than 8. Maine and New Hampshire from the current conflict, she pointed out, so she has plenty of work ahead. Although Jill has only been painting for a year, she has big plans. There are different mediums she would like to try and different subjects to paint.
