#tbt to last week's terrific discussion with author @chapin_dwight! As this year marks the 50th anniversary of Watergate, Perrot Library was honored to host Riverside resident Dwight Chapin for a discussion and book signing of his memoir, The President’s Man.

Dwight Chapin served as personal aide and then deputy assistant to President Richard Nixon with responsibility for the planning and execution of the President’s schedule and appearances. He served as acting Chief of Protocol for the President’s 1972 historic trip to China.

➡Scroll through for photos of the hybrid program (another full house in person at Perrot Library with dozens of folks also joining via zoom). Thank you @athenabooksog for providing copies of Dwight's books to purchase and have signed.

June 19th is an important day in American history.

June 19th is an important day in American history. Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it is now celebrated annually on June 19 throughout the United States. It is commemorated on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas.

📖💚Thank you Paul Greenberg for visiting with

📖💚Thank you Paul Greenberg for visiting with us around town and for your presentation this past week!

➡Scroll through for photos of the hybrid program (it was a full house in person at Perrot Library and lots of folks joined via zoom) and of Paul visiting the fish ladder at the damn in Cos Cob on the Mianus River. Plus he stopped by @athenabooksog to meet owner Jen Bird, a fellow Brown graduate. Athena Books provided copies of Paul's books at his discussion.

♻️🌐Paul's most recent book, The Climate Diet: 50 Simple Ways to Trim Your Carbon Footprint, was the topic of discussion on Wednesday evening. The Climate Diet is a practical, accessible guide with 50 achievable steps we can take to live our daily lives in a way that’s friendlier to the planet — from what we eat, how we live at home, how we travel, and how we lobby businesses and elected officials to do the right thing.

🐟Greenberg is also the author of five other books, including the James Beard Award-winner Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food. He was a guest at Perrot Library in 2014 to discuss his book American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood. A former Greenwich resident and a Brunswick Class of ’85 graduate, Greenberg’s writing on oceans, climate change, health, technology, and the environment appears regularly in The New York Times and many other publications.

It was a pleasure having you Paul in the library this past week. And a huge thank you to the partnering organizations that helped make it happen, @friendsofgreenwichpoint, @greenwichshellfishcommission, @thefoodshednetwork, and the @greenwichctofs @gwchconservationcommission.
