"The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C1977634 ]" combines diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing.

Body Digital [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/15617006 ]
ONLINE: The Body Digital: Author Talk with Vanessa Chang

*Thursday, Jan. 22, 6 to 7 p.m.*

"The Body Digital" traces the history of how bodies and technologies have grown together, from eyeglasses to player pianos to computers and beyond. Each invention has changed not only how we see, hear, and move but also how we imagine the world and our place within it.

 

Join us for a conversation with author, Vanessa Chang, as we attempt to uncover how innovative technologies continue to shape our expectations today—and how they might help us imagine futures where technology supports creativity rather than erasing it.​

 

Vanessa Chang is the Director of Programs at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology. She earned a Ph.D. in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University, where she was a Geballe Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center, also running the Graphic Narrative Project. 

 

This program will take place online via Zoom. Registration [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/15617006 ] is required.

Winter is the best time to prune fruit trees because they’re dormant and you can see the tree structure. Proper pruning timing and technique allow your trees to produce the best fruit. Come join us for a free workshop to learn about pruning fruit trees with Master Gardener Allen Buchinski. Learn the why, how, and when of pruning for best structure and fruit production.

 

This talk is for adults and will take place in the Adult Fiction Room. Registration is not required.

Weaving together humorous anecdotes with moments of victory and hope, this powerful, deeply contemplative full-color graphic novel explores the relationship between immigration and activism, opportunity and obligation, and familial duty and community service.
