November Book Spotlight – Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy

In a near-future world where wildlife is vanishing at an alarming rate, one woman sets out on a haunting journey to follow the last Arctic terns on what may be their final migration. Franny Stone convinces the crew of a fishing vessel to take her aboard as she tracks the birds from the Arctic to Antarctica — and as the voyage unfolds, so too does the mystery of her past.

With lyrical prose and an urgent environmental backdrop, Migrations is both an adventure at sea and an intimate portrait of grief, guilt, and the search for redemption.

Open to all adults 18+ who enjoy thoughtful fiction and lively discussion.

Book Discussion Club

September Book Spotlight – James by Percival Everett

Our fifth book selection takes a bold and brilliant turn with James, the acclaimed new novel by Percival Everett. A provocative reimagining of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this gripping narrative retells the story from the perspective of Jim—a man enslaved in 19th-century America, now given full voice, intellect, and agency.

Blending historical fiction with razor-sharp satire, James offers a profound commentary on race, language, and freedom. It challenges familiar narratives while delivering suspense, wit, and emotional power in equal measure.

Open to all adults 18+ who enjoy thoughtful fiction and lively discussion. Whether you're a Twain fan or new to the story, James invites a fresh look at an American classic through a timely and unforgettable lens. Join us to unpack the layers and share your perspective!

2025 Firetowers Light the Night
Aug

2025 Firetowers Light the Night

The NYS Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association is pleased to announce the 12th Annual Lighting of the Fire Tower Event! Saturday, August 30th 8:30 pm we hope to have a light begin to shine in the cab of many towers across NYS! Last year we had so many wonderful volunteers that we were able to light over 30 towers! We hope to increase that number this year. In the event of rain, the event will be held on Sunday, August 31st at 8:30pm. The event is done to honor the men and women who worked in these historic towers; protecting homes, businesses, communities and surrounding forests. The plan is to place a light in fire towers around the state from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. We invite people to go to locations around the community (listed on our website) where they can look up, see the light on the horizon and remember that there was a fire tower there watching over them. Thank you to Doug Hamilton for this wonderful idea to honor the past! This is not a hiking event! This is an invitation to visit an area in your community where you can see the fire tower light come on when you look up. Plan a small gathering, plan refreshments and enjoy! All Illuminators will read aloud the names of those who served in the towers as they turn on the light. If you have any questions, please reach out to lauriejrankin@gmail.com and she will get you all the information you will need. They will open registration for veteran Illuminators on July 20th and for new persons who are interested registration will open on July 28th. They will close registration on August 18th to allow time for all Illuminators to get their advertisements out. Additional information can be found at our website:  www.nysffla.org

Please remember this is not a hiking event! This event is tailored for individuals to view from a distance, gazing upward and reflecting as they witness the radiant light emanating from the fire tower.
