We’re SO excited to be collaborating with the Thomas Memorial Library in Cape Elizabeth, Maine for this new virtual conversation series! Each week throughout the winter, we’ll be meeting up virtually to share late morning coffee and conversation with the library staff, patrons and residents of Cape Elizabeth and surrounding areas. Though separated by 4,500 miles, Alaskans and Mainers all share the experience of persevering through long, cold, dark winters. So rather than go it alone during this difficult season and this year of extreme isolation, we’re joining forces, making friends and bridging the physical divide that separates us.
You’re invited to join us for this experiment in long distance community building, and all you need for the journey is a curious mind. Each Wednesday our libraries will be co-hosting lively conversations with kind, interesting and thoughtful people we might never have had the chance to meet if not for this strange year. And you need not fear the usual conversational pitfalls of boring small talk or uncomfortable subjects: Our librarians will be facilitating these discussions around fun and interesting themes as well as occasional outside materials. And since this year has been hard enough already, all talk of politics and the pandemic are off the table! Come warm your heart and widen your social circle in a friendly, curious atmosphere as we enjoy this rare opportunity to connect from afar. Let’s explore the idea of just how big a Community can be!

Virtual Lunch and Learn with the Library: Extra Tough Women and Resilience in Crisis
Explore a museum exhibition, learn from a community expert and add to your reading list over the lunch hour with this collaborative program of the Anchorage Museum and the Anchorage Public Library. This monthly virtual program will connect a theme highlighted within the Extra Tough: Women of the North exhibition to the local community with a conversation with an invited expert. Expand on the theme by exploring a curated reading list and checking out resources from your local library.
This month, we learn a bit more about the life and influence of Genie Chance, an extra tough part of the unifying efforts to respond to the Good Friday earthquake in 1964. We'll be joined by writer Jon Moallum, whose new book, This is Chance! tells the story of Genie's extraordinary life and career. Ask questions of all presenters in this interactive, live presentation, then peruse the accompanying reading list from the Anchorage Public Library. Free. Tune in for the live event and ask questions in the Q & A, or access the recording of the event at a later time with the very same link.

Join a civic conversation on our democratic values hosted by Alaska Common Ground and Alaska Humanities Forum. Practice speaking across difference and getting to the root of what matters to you to connect with your fellow community members and strengthen our democracy.
We’ll be using the values written into the Preambles of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution as a starting place to explore the things that matter to you, our nation, and each other. How are we doing, and how can we do better?
This will be a conversational space designed to connect you with fellow attendants. We look forward to seeing you there!
This non-partisan conversation was funded by the “Why it Matters: Civic and Electoral Participation” initiative, administered by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and funded by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
