SUMMARY:Maryland Mayhem: Scoundrels\, Spies\, and Sinners in the Free State
DESCRIPTION:Registration not required\, but encouraged. Please register for the event here. \nMaybe you’ve heard of some of Maryland’s most notorious crimes\, such as the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln or the murder of Sister Cathy\, subject of the popular Netflix series\, The Keepers.  But what about some of its lesser-known criminal transgressions?  And perhaps you’ve heard some things about the famous Alger Hiss espionage case but not that many of its scenes actually played out in Baltimore and other parts of Maryland. Join Lisa Greenhouse and Caprice DiLiello\, librarians from the Maryland Department at the Enoch Pratt Free Library/ State Library Resource Center\, for a discussion of some of these shady characters and unfortunate episodes. You’ll hear about the only known case of burking in North America. You’ll find out about a promising career in public service dashed on the rocks of family annihilation and about a nineteenth-century “friendship” gone murderously awry. \nThis is part 3 of a series of programs being presented by the Pratt’s Maryland Department during the month of October\, titled The Dark Side of Maryland.  If this program interests you\, you may wish to join us for the rest: \n\npart1 — Haunted Maryland: It’s Supernatural Hon\, October 4\, 6pm\npart 2 — Mediums\, Magicians\, and the Ouija Board: A Spiritualist History of Baltimore\, October 18\, 6pm\npart 3 — Maryland Mayhem: Scoundrels\, Spies\, and Sinners in the Free State\, October 25\, 6pm\npart 4 — Witch’s Brew: True Tales and Folklore of Witchcraft in Colonial Maryland\, October 29\, 6pm\n\nAll programs have been recorded and are available to view  from their event listing linked above. \nASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Maryland’s Artistic Property\, Highlights & Recent Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:Registration encouraged. Check the Enoch Pratt Free Library website for the Eventbrite link. ASL interpretation will be available for attendees. \nThe state of Maryland is fortunate to have one of the most historic collections of state-owned art in the nation. It dates from 1774 when the portrait of William Pitt\, Earl of Chatham was presented to the state by Charles Willson Peale. Since 1969\, with the creation of the Commission on Artistic Property\, the collection has been overseen by the Archives. The collection includes paintings\, sculptures\, decorative arts\, and works on paper dating from the thirteenth century to the present and is rich in portraiture of Maryland governors\, legislators\, and first ladies. Many of these works of art are displayed in the Maryland State House\, Government House\, and other legislative buildings throughout the Annapolis complex. The Peabody Art Collection\, acquired by the state in 1996\, added additional works by renowned artists. \nRecent acquisitions help expand the breadth of the collection in terms of date range and diversity\, as well as historic treasures received as gifts. Recent conservation projects have allowed for the display of things that haven’t been seen by the public in decades. \nCatherine Rogers Arthur\, Senior Curator Director of Artistic Property\, will present Marylands Artistic Property\, Highlights Recent Acquisitions an illustrated lecture; a virtual tour of Marylands Treasures of State. \nImage citation: Shaft of Corot\, oil on paper\, David Brewster\, 2016. MSA SC 1545-3489\, gift of the artist. \nPresented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop with Cherrie Woods and Alan King
DESCRIPTION:Registration required. The registration link will be posted on the Enoch Pratt Free Library website by April 12. \nThough self-publishing and book promotion are becoming common\, poetry remains a niche market. Even bookstores will typically just sell acknowledged classics\, academic anthologies\, and a few books by today’s most famous poets. How does a poet become successful and increase book sales since poetry has its own unique nuances and requirements for promotion. Cherrie Woods (book publicist/self-published poet) along with Alan King (traditionally published poet) will share strategies for promoting your poetry project. \nASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

SUMMARY:Brown Lecture Series: Tamara Winfrey Harris
DESCRIPTION:Registration not required\, but encouraged. Check back at the Enoch Pratt Free Library website for the Eventbrite registration link. \nDial-In Information \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://marylandlibraries.zoom.us/j/97222740531?pwd=SFA0Vk5QMlY2YS96SXNJSnpySE5TUT09\nPasscode: 897725 \nPresented in partnership with the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nTamara Winfrey Harris will be in conversation about her new book\, Dear Black Girl. \nMore than a year ago\, author Tamara Winfrey Harris asked a few Black women on social media to write 12 honest\, open\, and inspiring letters of support to young Black girls in a workshop aged thirteen to twenty-one to. She asked them to write letters that were loving\, truthful\, vulnerable\, feminist\, anti-racist\, body positive\, LGBTQ+ positive\, anti–respectability politics\, and pro–Black girl. Instead of twelve letters\, she received more than fifty from all over the world. And she continues to receive them. On scented paper. Through the internet. Shoved into her hands in Starbucks. Neatly printed on notebook paper. Typed. Scrawled in elegant swirls. In hand-decorated envelopes. These letters are the basis of Harris’ Dear Black Girl: Letters from Your Sisters on Stepping into Your Power. \nIn Dear Black Girl\, Winfrey-Harris introduces and organizes a selection of these letters\, modeling how black women can nurture future generations. Each chapter ends with a prompt encouraging girls to write a letter to themselves\, teaching the art of self-love and self-nurturing. \nASL interpretation will be available to attendees. \nVisit https://www.theivybookshop.com/ to order your copies of Dear Black Girl. \nThe Brown Lecture Series is supported by the Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown Foundation.
