SUMMARY:Bad Juliet\, by Giles Blunt
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nAt a tuberculosis sanitarium in the Adirondacks\, a young tutor falls in love with a mysterious woman who survived the Lusitania disaster. \nRecently jilted by his fiancé\, Paul Gascoyne takes a job as a tutor to the patients at the Trudeau Sanitarium in upstate New York. There\, in the icebound beauty of the Adirondack Mountains\, he finds himself drawn to Sarah Ballard\, a beautiful but enigmatic young woman\, traumatized by her past aboard the ill-fated ship Lusitania. To rouse her out of her gloom\, Paul encourages her to write a memoir. \nAs Paul reads her words\, it gradually becomes clear that Sarah’s memories are a tangle of truth and fiction that he can’t begin to unravel. And yet he cannot overcome his attraction to her. When a terrible relapse leaves Sarah worried that she has little time left\, she begs Paul to be the one person in the world who will truly know her. \nAbout The Speaker:\nGiles Blunt grew up in North Bay\, Ontario\, before studying English Literature at the University of Toronto. The author of twelve novels\, including the award-winning John Cardinal Mystery series\, Blunt has more recently turned to literary fiction with Bad Juliet. He lives in Toronto. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:First Adirondackers\, by Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nThe First Adirondackers reaches far beyond the familiar timelines of settlement to tell a deeper story of the Adirondacks – one that has been shaped by an Indigenous presence for more than 12\,000 years. Blending scientific insight with Indigenous knowledge and storytelling\, the book reveals how Native peoples lived with\, learned from\, and stewarded this landscape across countless generations. Through changing climates\, waterways\, and lifeways\, authors Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden illuminate a history that has too often been overlooked or simplified. The Adirondacks emerge not as an untouched wilderness\, but as a homeland rich with memory\, meaning\, and continuity. The First Adriondackers invites readers to reconsider what they think they know about the region and the enduring relationship between people and place. \nClick here to buy the book from the ADKX Store! \nAbout The Speaker:\nCurt Stager is a scientist\, educator\, and author whose work brings the deep history of climate\, water\, and landscape vividly to life. A professor at Paul Smith’s College\, his writing and teaching has earned recognition statewide. He has spent decades translating complex environmental research into clear\, compelling stories for public audiences. \nDavid Kanietakeron Fadden is an Akwesasne Mohawk artist\, writer\, and cultural historian whose paintings\, illustrations\, and stories are rooted in Haudenosaunee knowledge and lived experience in the Adirondacks. Raised in a family of artists and storytellers\, his work serves as both creative expression and cultural preservation. Together\, they are the authors of The First Adirondackers\, a sweeping account of 12\,000 years of Indigenous presence that reshapes how we understand the region’s past. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Heading Out\, by Terence Young
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nWhat is it that has drawn generations of Americans to pack up their families\, leave behind the comforts of home\, and head for the woods each year? In the final episode of In the Adirondack Library for 2025-26 season\, author Terence Young explores just that. In conversation with NCPR’s Mitch Teich\, Young will discuss his book Heading Out: A History of American Camping. Young’s book reflects on how places like the Adirondacks helped shape camping as a cherished seasonal ritual. From the rush of Murray’s fools in the late 19th Century\, to the trails carved out by determined backpackers\, to the modern campsites dotted across the Park\, Young explores the enduring appeal of “roughing it” and what it reveals about Americans’ longing for simplicity\, freedom\, and a temporary step away from everyday life. \nAbout The Speaker:\nTerence Young is a historical geographer with a long-standing interest in how Americans have experienced nature\, earned through years of study and time spent thinking deeply about landscapes\, travel\, and recreation. He earned his Ph.D. in geography at UCLA and later taught at California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona\, where his work explored parks\, tourism\, and the meanings people attach to outdoor places. His books include Building San Francisco’s Parks\, 1850–1930 and Heading Out: A History of American Camping\, which traces the roots of camping from early parklands and mountain regions to a national tradition shaped by movement\, modern life\, and the search for renewal. Whether writing about city parks or canvas tents\, Young brings a storyteller’s eye to the long relationship between people and the outdoors. \n  \n  \n
