SUMMARY:Calculated Risk\, by Jennifer Denny
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nNavigate by map and compass. Splint a broken bone. Start a fire in a rainstorm. No big deal for Samantha Wethersfield! She’s an Assistant Forest Ranger who knows the Adirondack High Peaks like the back of her hand. The people in Sam’s life are pressuring her to make tough choices about the future. All at once her work\, love-life\, and home address are suddenly uncertain. She goes on one last backcountry adventure before making any big decisions. Sam needs time to think\, but the wilderness unexpectedly gives her the biggest challenge of her life. As Sam uses all her skills and experience to stay alive\, she comes to terms with the choices she needs to make. If Sam makes it out of the woods\, she might just know what to do next! \nAbout The Speaker:\nJen Denny is a conservationist\, NYS Guide\, and Adirondack 46er.

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe at Lake George: Painted Subjects\, Social Relations\, and Reflections on Selfhood
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nHow might we account for the creative outpouring that marked Georgia O’Keeffe’s years at Lake George\, an interval that stands among the most prolific of her seven-decade career? A survey of her work from this period reveals an astonishing abundance: roughly two hundred paintings on canvas and paper\, accompanied by numerous sketches and pastels. \nLake George functioned for O’Keeffe as a potent site of artistic stimulus. Many of the botanical subjects that would come to define her oeuvre first took shape in this site. As a retreat from New York City\, it afforded not only sustained contact with the natural world but a deep sense of place\, an anchoring essential to her developing modernist vision. Yet it was not solely a refuge; Lake George also operated as a social nexus\, animated by a continuous circulation of visitors. \nWithin this multifaceted setting\, O’Keeffe pursued new subjects while reckoning more deliberately with thoughts of selfhood and artistic independence\, including the imagined prospect of a studio of her own. This presentation examines the forces that shaped her Lake George years: her evolving subjects\, the shifting social dynamics around her\, and the ways in which the site itself nourished her creative practice. \n  \nYaritza Martinez Pule joined the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in 2022 as Curatorial Assistant after completing a Fulbright research grant. Previously\, she was a curatorial research fellow at Museo Franz Mayer in Mexico City and a curatorial assistant at 80WSE Gallery\, a gallery affiliated with New York University where she co-curated and organized exhibitions with the Institute of Fine Arts\, the Costume Institute\, and Steinhardt’s Department of Art. In addition\, she was a visiting scholar in the archives at Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. She holds an MA from New York University where she concentrated her research on the historical and cultural dimensions of textiles\, and a BA from Marquette University with a focus on Art History\, Digital Media Studies\, and Spanish and Latin American Studies\, completing a part of her art history education from King’s College London. Most recently\, Yaritza curated A Circle that Nothing Can Break\, an exhibition examining the ways in which Georgia O’Keeffe’s unique vocabulary of round forms intersected with feeling\, memory\, and lived experience. \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
