SUMMARY:Virtual: Lost Treasures of the Titanic with Art Historian Mallory Mortillaro
DESCRIPTION:James Cameron’s Titanic told the invented story of the Heart of the Ocean–a fictional blue diamond necklace lost tragically in the ship’s famous sinking. But what about the real treasures that were lost when the Titanic sank? \nFor over a century\, the world has been intrigued by the story of the Titanic. When tragedy struck on April 14\, 1912\, in addition to the incredible loss of life\, a nearly incalculable amount of goods plummeted into the ocean\, never to be seen again. This lecture takes a closer look at and tells the stories of some of the more interesting and valuable treasures lost on that fateful night. \nMallory Mortillaro is an art historian and educator. She has ten years of teaching experience and has worked on various art research projects for museums and organizations in the New York metropolitan area. She studied at Drew University. Mallory resides in New Jersey with her husband and daughter. \nThis program will be held over Zoom. Please register to receive the meeting link.

DESCRIPTION:Join the growing number of people who are buying their produce\, meats\, and dairy products from local farms. Not only is local food fresher than many options in the supermarket\, but supporting our local farms creates a more sustainable ecosystem. Sure\, you might not get raspberries in December\, but when you get them in August\, they will be the best tasting raspberries you could ever have! \nWorking with Ashland’s Town Sustainability Coordinator\, Samantha Riley\, we’ll have a panel of farmers who will help us understand the benefits of shopping for locally grown foods AND give us suggestions for reputable growers in our area.  We hope you can join us for this important discussion as climate change affects the way we live our daily lives. \nThis program is held in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Ashland Public Library. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK \nRecording note: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. It will also be available to view on the Ashland Library’s YouTube Channel.
