👩‍🎨🎨🖼️ Works by local artist Jackie Russo are on view at the library through the month of September. See them in the display case on the ground floor across from the Circulation Desk.

For decades, Jackie has found joy in making things by hand. An independent art student in high school, she was encouraged by her art teacher and carried that creative spark throughout a long career in information technology.

After retiring from IT, Jackie returned to her artistic passion, designing handcrafted coastal home décor accents that reflect the textures, colors, and treasures of
the New England shoreline, thoughtfully upcycling materials whenever possible.
Whether exploring the coast for shells and driftwood with Archie, her border collie, or working in her workshop, Jackie brings a personal touch and love of craft to each piece she creates. Jackie’s work is available on Etsy and at local holiday craft fairs.

Why is the American government a Republic and not a Democracy? Join historian Mark Albertson for an eye-opening talk as he digs into the Founders' original words and writings to explore why they explicitly chose a Republic—and why many of them were openly opposed to direct Democracy.

Bonus Topic: Mark will also break down the critical differences and commonalities between Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, and Syndicalism to help clear up common misconceptions surrounding these political ideologies.
