SUMMARY:David Borges (UConn Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with David Borges for the book\, UConn Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline. \nRSVP \nAbout the Book \nWith six national championships under three different head coaches in one 26-year span\, UConn basketball has been the most successful men’s program of the 21st century. No program has won more national titles in that span. No program has won more Big East championships\, even though the Huskies were out of the league for seven seasons. And when UConn won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024\, it became the first program to repeat in 17 years\, and just the third to do so since the UCLA dynasties of the late 1960s/early 1970s. UConn has spawned a Hall of Fame player in Ray Allen and a coach in Jim Calhoun. No doubt\, Dan Hurley will be enshrined in Springfield someday\, as well. Since Calhoun took over the program in 1986\, the Huskies have had 17 NBA Draft lottery picks\, 24 first-round selections and 40 overall . . . and counting. UConn’s success has shown no signs of slowing down under Hurley. But Husky history dates back much further. From its time as a regional power in the Yankee Conference to its days of dominance in the Big East\, UConn has had remarkable success-sprinkled in with the occasional spectacular failure. All the championship teams\, All-American players\, dynamic personalities\, and iconic games and moments that have helped turned little Storrs\, Connecticut\, into The Basketball Capital of the Word are chronicled in this book by longtime UConn men’s basketball beat writer David Borges. \nAbout the Author \nDavid Borges has covered the UConn men’s basketball team as a beat writer for the New Haven Register and Hearst Connecticut Media since 2007. In that span\, he’s covered four national championships and five Final Four teams. Prior to that\, he covered the 2004 Boston Red Sox team that snapped an 86-year World Series championship drought. Borges\, a Rhode Island native who has lived in Connecticut for nearly two decades with his wife and two children\, has won multiple awards covering UConn\, including the National Sports Media Association’s Connecticut Sportswriter of the Year in 2019.

SUMMARY:Gail MacDonald (Abolitionists of the Northeast) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Gail MacDonald for her book\, Abolitionists of the Northeast: Black Leaders in the Antislavery Movement. \nRegister \nAbout the Book \nAbolitionists of the Northeast profiles the little-known yet historically prolific Black figures who actively participated in the abolitionist movement in America. The movement\, which began in the 1820s in Northeastern America\, was about ending slavery in the United States.\nHistory books have long emphasized the lives and work of Harriet Tubman\, Frederick Douglass\, and Thomas Garrett\, but it’s no secret that the most influential Black advocates are missing from the pages of our textbooks. This book offers intimate profiles of 29 Black abolitionists in the Northeast along with historical black and white photographs that give readers a full picture of who these people were\, the work they did to combat the nation’s greatest sin\, and how their legacy has lived on.\nFrom the underrated to the overlooked\, Abolitionists of the Northeast educates readers on the most influential advocates in the earliest beginnings of the United States’ anti-slavery movement. \nAbout the Author \nGail B. MacDonald is a recently retired University of Connecticut journalism professor; a veteran\, award-winning journalist and the author of three history books. She regularly leads history-themed tours for Uncovering New London; One Story at a Time and at the historic Cedar Grove Cemetery in New London and formerly was a docent and developer of history tours for the Thames River Heritage Park. She is president of the Rotary Club of New London\, through which she is active in community service. She lives in New London.

SUMMARY:Writers Group
DESCRIPTION:We welcome local writers for free-write sessions at 4 p.m.\, Mondays\, in the Ames Room. The sessions are open to anyone who feels like writing. \nLoosely based on the notion of stream-of-consciousness writing described by Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones\,” the sessions are broken into three parts of 5 minutes\, 10 minutes\, and 5 minutes. A writer selects a topic from subjects previously placed in a box. For the first 5 minutes\, write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop to correct\, just record whatever pops into your head\, even if it’s something like\, “I have no idea what to write…” Each person shares what they’ve written\, free of commentary or criticism. \nThen\, for 10 minutes\, writers write what comes to mind\, perhaps an idea or a subject someone had just read aloud or something you wrote in the first 5 minutes will lead to a focus. The group shares again. Writers write for another 5 minutes and then share. \nYou’ll be surprised at the places you’ll go with the topics in these sessions. They give you an opportunity to express yourself\, they’re therapeutic\, and they often lead to a lot to talk about after putting your pens down.
