Starting in September, Philip Weinstein, Professor of English at Swarthmore College and part-time resident in Aquinnah, will lead a reading and discussion series at Island Libraries on the American Story Story. Beginning with Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time (1925) and concluding with Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kittredge (2008), this course explores a range of American short stories. We will devote a week apiece to each of four writers. Our goal is not to sample the huge output in this genre, but to delve more deeply into these writers' concerns and literary procedures and to identify the characteristic voice of each.
Dates, Locations and Texts:
Aquinnah (Old Aquinnah Town Hall) September 13th (5-6:30 p.m.): Ernest Hemingway, In Our Time
Chilmark Free Public Library, September 26th (time TBA): Flannery O'Connor, The Collected Stories (selections)
Vineyard Haven Public Library, November 20th (7 p.m.): Raymond Carver, Cathedral
Edgartown Public Library, December (December date TBA): Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kittredge
Major topics:
* What insights into multifaceted modern America does a study of four writers (from the 1920s into the new century) provide us?
* An encounter with nature recurs as an abiding dimension of several of our writers' work. What larger (and differing) meanings about America does this encounter take on?
* What are the strengths and limits of the short story as a literary form? In what ways do the books by Hemingway, Carver, and Strout seem to aim for novelistic form (by way of short stories)?

"Great Decisions" Global Affairs Discussion Group Begins in September
To contact us Click HERE
The Vineyard Haven Public Library is forming a Great Decisions Discussion Group that will meet for 8 sessions on Thursdays at 7pm, beginning September 27th.
A Great Decisions Discussion Group is composed of interested individuals who want an opportunity to learn and participate in the foreign policy decision-making process. The Foreign Policy Association (FPA) has published the Great Decisions briefing book, a well researched annual publication covering eight timely global topics to be read by group participants in order to prepare for each discussion. At each meeting we will show a 30 minute documentary film on that week's topic, to be followed by a moderated discussion.
Please register online or by calling the library (508-696-4211). Briefing books may be purchased from the library for $10 ($20 if purchased from FPA). A limited number of free copies may be available for students (contact the library for more details). This program is jointly sponsored by the Vineyard Haven Library and the League of Women Voters of Martha's Vineyard.
Topics and meeting dates:
7pm Thursday September 27,
Middle East realignment: The popular revolts and upheaval of the Arab Spring have radically changed the face of the Middle East. What lies ahead for the Middle East’s transition to democracy? What are the prospects for the governments that have held out in this new order? With many longtime U.S. allies ousted, how will the U.S. recalibrate its relations with the new regimes?
7pm Thursday October 4
Promoting democracy: The U.S. has had a history of advancing and supporting democracy around the world. What place does democracy promotion have in U.S. foreign policy today? With a choice of tools ranging from economic aid to military force, what are the appropriate yet effective methods that the U.S. should use to promote democracy?
7pm October 18, 2012
Mexico: Mexico’s border with Central America, as well as the border it shares with the U.S., has been a pathway for people, goods, crime and contraband in both directions. How can Mexico address these transborder challenges? What is the future of Mexico’s relations with its northern and southern neighbors? How will Mexico’s foreign relations affect its domestic politics?
7pm Thursday October 25
Cybersecurity: The securitization of cyberspace has caused a sea change for both governments and the private sector, faced with new threats, new battlegrounds and new opportunities. Faced with challenges such as international cybercrime and authoritarian control of networks, how will the U.S. and its democratic allies approach the cyber frontier? How does this new domain figure in U.S. strategic interests?
7pm Thursday November 1
Exit from Afghanistan & Iraq: Ten years after September 11, 2001, the U.S. is winding down its military commitment in Iraq and slowly pulling out of Afghanistan. What exit strategy will help Afghanistan and Iraq build stable democratic nations? How can the U.S. continue to achieve its counterterrorism goals? What is the role of the U.S. in the future of the Middle East?
7pm Thursday November 8
State of the oceans: The world’s oceans are essential to life on earth, and are tremendously sensitive to global climate change. What are the consequences of climate change on oceanic factors like biodiversity, sea levels and extreme weather systems? How can the U.S. and its international partners address the emerging challenges to this shared resource?
7pm Thursday November 15
Indonesia: Having emerged from authoritarianism in the last 15 years, Indonesia has made remarkable strides politically, economically and socially. Yet the new, democratic Indonesia is still a developing country facing considerable challenges. How can Indonesia continue its path of growth, reform and prosperity? What is Indonesia’s role in the global community?
7pm Thursday November 29
Energy geopolitics: The energy markets have been shaken by the instability of Middle East oil and the vulnerability of nuclear power. Moreover, developing countries like China are becoming bigger energy consumers, while energy producers like Russia see the opportunity to widen their influence. In this changed landscape, how will the U.S.’s energy needs affect its relations with other nations?

Art in the Stacks: Christopher Wright
To contact us Click HERE
The Friends of the Vineyard Haven Public Library are pleased to present an exhibit of photographs by Christopher Wright this month. The exhibit will be on display during regular library hours from now through September 4th. "Art in the Stacks" is an initiative of the Friends of the Library to provide individual artists an opportunity to show their work, and for library patrons to enjoy art at the library throughout the year.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
"I think of myself somewhat as a hybrid photographer, combining elements of my past history in charcoal drawing, and my appreciation for painting and other art mediums with my passion for photography.
I started taking pictures at the age of eight, and while I respect those who have chosen the path of formal education in photography, it just wasn't mine. Being self taught, I feel, allows me to be freer to push boundaries, as I simply don't see any. When I see a setting that I'd like to photograph, what I see is more similar to a drawing or a painting. It's as though a window opens up where it feels right to take a photograph, and the scene takes on a life of it's own, alive and interactive. I could describe it as being magic. It's truly one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced, and something I'm extraordinarily grateful for.
Life is full of magic, and to be able to carry a piece of that through a photograph for others to feel is what I hope to achieve and exactly why I am doing this. With that and with gratitude, I think I will step out of the way and let the pictures speak for themselves."
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Christopher Wright is a full time resident of Martha's Vineyard, who has been here, on and off, for his entire life. He considers his work, which revolves around the Vineyard, to be, in his words, "an honor and a true labor of love". Choosing to begin selling his work in December 2010, Christopher's photography is now hanging in homes spanning from here on Martha's Vineyard, to New York City, to the shores of New Zealand, with, as he puts it, his "honest gratitude being the key component". Christopher has shown his work on island at The Scottish Bakehouse, the Made Here On The Vineyard gallery, the Shephard Fine Artspace gallery, Featherstone Center For The Arts, The Vineyard Haven Public Library, The 2011 and 2012 Family Planning Art Shows, The 150th, & soon to be 151st, Agricultural Fairs, The Island Children's School, and continues to show at "Bryn Walker - Vineyard Haven".

A Search Primer (you don't have to always go with Google)
To contact us Click HERE
While Google is the undisputed king of internet search, there are other options. Try some from the list below the next time you do a search. The bottom portion of this post contains links to search tips that will help you become a better searcher.
General Search Engines
All the Web, All the Time
One of the more recently developed Web indexing tools, this search engine indexes a very large database. It has separate search boxes for audio, FTP, and picture files. Advanced search options support domain filters, word filters, and allow searching in 25 different languages.
AltaVista
Alta Vista has a large database. It can perform searches in Spanish or English and translate words, phrases, and entire Web sites online into many languages using "Babelfish." Other improvements include phrase detection, spell check, Family Filter, and natural language capabilities.
Ask
Ask is a search engine that is intended to be used with natural language questions. There are many extra features such as suggesting other terms that are along the same subject lines and local searching.
Bing
Bing is Microsoft's new search engine. On the left side of the screen, it has buttons for searching images, videos, shopping, news, travel, history and maps. There is a visual search option, as well.
Google
The most extensive search engine on the Web. Google search results are ranked based on site popularity rather than the common practice of paid positioning. Google also has specialized searches for certain operating systems, government documents, maps and scholarly articles. A single click translation service is available for most pages which will translate to the user's primary language. It also caches Web pages allowing an individual to view pages that are not currently available or that are on overburdened servers.
Hakia
Hakia is a semantic search engine that is focused on quality. Unique to Hakia, a single query brings a full set of results in all segments including Web, News, Blogs, Hakia Galleries, Credible Sources, Video, and Images. Among these segments, News, Blogs, Credible Sources, and Hakia Galleries are processed by Hakia's proprietary core semantic technology called QDEXing. Web, video, and images are processed by Hakia's SemanticRank technology using third party API feeds.
HotBot
HotBot allows many search options such as language, images, javascript, video, and MP3. Advanced search options allow searching by date, page depth, and domain name.
Mahalo
Mahalo is the one 'human-powered' search site in this list, employing a committee of editors to manually sift and vet thousands of pieces of content. This means that you'll get fewer Mahalo hit results than you will get at Bing or Google. But it also means that most Mahalo results have a higher quality of content and relevance (as best as human editors can judge).
Mahalo also offers regular web searching in addition to asking questions. Depending on which of the two search boxes you use at Mahalo, you will either get direct content topic hits or suggested answers to your question.
Topsy
The first index is based exclusively on Twitter statuses. When you search for something on Topsy, such as “free music,“ it finds snippets of conversations that match what you are looking for. Topsy results are the things people link to when they are talking about your search terms. Topsy ranks results based on how well they match your search terms and the influence of the people talking about them.
Twazzup
Twazzup is a Twitter search tool that provides almost all of what Twitter Search does itself, plus a list of the most influential tweeters on a topic, related photos, and keywords based on your search results to help you refine your search.
WebCrawler
WebCrawler is one of the oldest search engines and uses the Excite search software to search the Web. It is good for simple searching.
Yahoo
Yahoo is a collection of classified subject resources. If no matches are found in its own database, it searches the rest of the Web using Google. Options at the bottom of the screen link to searches in a particular country (Denmark, France, Mexico) or city (Los Angeles, New York City) which may be in the native language of that country.
Yippy
Yippy is a Deep Web engine that searches other search engines for you. Unlike the regular Web, which is indexed by robot spider programs, Deep Web pages are usually harder to locate by conventional search. That's where Yippy becomes very useful. If you are searching for obscure hobby interest blogs, obscure government information, tough-to-find obscure news, academic research and otherwise-obscure content, then Yippy is your tool.
Dogpile
Searches the major search engines simultaneously and allows the user to view the combined results or compare the results of the various engines side by side.
MetaCrawler
MetaCrawler simultaneously searches Lycos, Infoseek, WebCrawler, Excite, AltaVista, Thunderstone, DirectHit, LookSmart, and Yahoo. A brief annotation is provided with the search results.
Internet Public Library
Originally begun as a project of the University of Michigan School of Information and Library Studies, the Internet Public Library locates, evaluates, annotates and organizes the information resources of the Internet which would be of interest to patrons of a public library.
Scout Report Archives
The Internet Scout Project, located in the Computer Sciences Department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is funded by the National Science Foundation. Resources can be searched by either a quick or complex search engine. Links can also be browsed by Library of Congress subject headings.

Subject Guides
These subject guides are a starting point to specific information on the Web. Although they do provide search engines, those engines search only on the individual Web site (i.e., a search on the Librarians' Index to the Internet will only show sites listed on the Librarians' Index to the Internet).Internet Public Library
