MOVIE NIGHT AT THE WARREN LIBRARY: Mark your calendars for a special night at the Warren Library on Thursday June 18th at 7:00 p.m. We will be showing the first in the series of Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie —a six-part collaborative documentary produced by several dozen Vermont-based filmmakers. Using personal stories, rare footage, compelling interviews, and original reenactments, the film explores the history and contemporary culture of the Green Mountain State. Vermonters past and present — from Abenaki and early settlers, fugitives from slavery, farmers, historians, politicians, activists, and newcomers moving “back to the land” — tell how one small state has made a very big difference.

On the 18th we will be watching Part One “A Very New Idea,” which explores the native and colonial roots from which Vermont grew. The 80-minute film will be followed by a one-hour discussion led by one of the filmmakers: Dorothy Tod of Warren. Cosponsors are the Waitsfield Historical Society and the Joslin Memorial Library. Admission is free; light refreshments will be served.
