Great Decisions at the Library – 9/15/25
From Sue Kibbe:
GREAT DECISIONS
“The Future of NATO & European Security”
“Great Decisions” resumes on Monday, September 15, 6:00 p.m., in the Walpole Town Library. We will discuss “The Future of NATO and European Security” with former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic Adrian Basora. A trustee of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, Adrian is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is on the international advisory board of the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities. During his 33 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, Adrian served in former Soviet Bloc countries and helped develop America’s programs in support of their transition to democracy while working at the National Security Council.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine three years ago has threatened the NATO alliance in ways not seen since nuclear missiles were defensively deployed in Europe and the Soviet Union more than 50 years ago. Adding to European insecurity is the current U.S. administration’s dismissal of alliances and strange affinity for Russia’s Vladimir Putin. What are Europe’s options? Should NATO expand to include Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea?
The relevant reading from the Foreign Policy Association is “The Future of NATO and European Security” by Kori Schake and is available at the library or by request via email addressed to our Library Director, Jane Malmberg: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org
If you are joining the discussion via Zoom, please log on at 6:20 p.m., after the Foreign Policy Association’s Master Class video which we are not permitted to show on Zoom. For the Zoom link, email Jane Malmberg in advance of the meeting.

‘Mushroom Art’ for Kids at Distant Hill – 7/12/25
From Michael Nerrie:
There is a free ‘Mushroom Art’ event for kids happening this Saturday, July 12, from 10 to 11:30 am at the pavilion at Distant Hill Nature Trail.
Melany Kahn, author of the wonderful children’s book, ‘Mason Goes Mushrooming’, will be reading her book to the kids, followed by an interactive Q&A session and hands-on mushroom art projects.
She will have a selection of wild and cultivated mushrooms available for the kiddos to learn to identify. They will be able to touch, smell, and observe the mushrooms up close, then use them as still-life models for their own illustrations and artwork with watercolors.
There will also be a clay art session where the children can shape and paint their own clay mushroom to take home.
