Everyone Reads
What if everyone in a community read the same book? And then sat down and had a conversation about it? This is that chance! Join others in Chouteau County to read Malcolm Gladwell’s, “Talking to strangers: What we should know about the people we don’t know.” Gladwell states, “Something is very wrong with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.” Join the conversation!
Dark Skies: Light Pollution and the Story of Montana’s Night Skies with Sabre Moore (Zoom)
The night sky has inspired generations of humanity to tell stories — some about heroes and adventures, others about life ways or the movements of seasons and animals. Today we find ourselves in a world in which dark skies are increasingly rare, especially in urban areas, due to the growing prevalence of light pollution. Join DarkSky Advocate Sabre Moore, to learn about the history and culture of the DarkSky movement and the effects of light pollution on human, animal and environmental health. Along the way, audiences will hear about night sky stories, gain an understanding of Montana’s Dark Sky Places, including Medicine Rocks State Park, and how they can measure light pollution by phone, and join global citizen science efforts.
