Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, September 21st, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Building.
Qigong is a form of meditation in motion that is at least 2,000 years old. It is a very calming routine used to increase mindfulness, and it is also used for building strength, balance, flexibility, and resiliency. The practice of qigong can be done standing or sitting and can be practiced by almost anyone young or old.
Donna has been practicing Chinese medicine since 1996 when she graduated from Chinese medical school in New York City and became a licensed acupuncturist in New York and Connecticut. Qigong and tai chi were her first introduction to Chinese medicine and energy exercises in 1980 in New York City, years before she studied Chinese medicine. Donna has studied with a variety of teachers, including Robert Peng and Daisy Lee, and began teaching qigong in Greenwich in 2017. She has taught classes locally since then, as well as online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Perrot P.I.s September Book Discussion: “All the Colors of the Dark”
The Perrot P.I.s Mystery Book Discussion Group invites you to a discussion of All the Colors of the Dark, by Chris Whitaker, on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 7 pm in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building. This is a drop-in program; registration is not required.
From the New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End comes an epic novel about a man fixated on finding a missing woman and the FBI agent on his tail, who might be even more obsessed than he is. 1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the small town of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges–Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake. Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another. A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

The Conservation Commission and the Perrot Memorial Library invite you to a discussion of Here Comes the Sun, by Bill McKibben. The program will be held on Wednesday, September 30, at 7 pm, in the Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Library.
In Here Comes the Sun, climate activist Bill McKibben explores the rapid rise of solar and wind energy as a powerful, accessible alternative to fossil fuels. Highlighting global progress and grassroots efforts, he shows how renewable energy offers not just a path out of the climate crisis but a chance to build a fairer, more democratic world. Despite resistance from the fossil fuel industry, McKibben argues that this solar revolution is our best hope for a sustainable future.
