SUMMARY:In Color Birding Book Club: Migrations
DESCRIPTION:Join our partners\, Philadelphia-based In Color Birding\, for their very first Book Club gathering\, where bird joy meets storytelling. \nOn Wednesday\, June 10th\, we are coming together at the Parkway Central Library to dive into Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy\, a powerful\, atmospheric novel that follows one woman’s journey alongside the last Arctic terns in a rapidly changing world. It is a story about movement\, loss\, love\, and what we hold onto when everything feels uncertain\, and we cannot wait to hear what it stirred up for you. \nThis will not be a lecture. It is a conversation. We will spend about 90 minutes reflecting on what moved us\, what challenged us\, and what we are still sitting with. Whether you finished the book\, started it\, or are just curious\, you are welcome here. \nLike all of In Color Birding Club’s gatherings\, this space is rooted in community\, curiosity\, and connection. Come as you are. Bring your thoughts\, your questions\, your perspectives\, or just come to listen. \nNeed a copy of the book? You can borrow it through the Free Library or Libby\, grab one from your local bookstore\, or use Bookshop.org or Libro.fm\, and if cost is a barrier\, In Color Birding has you covered. \nWe’ll be gathering on the 4th floor in a conference room which holds 40 people comfortably. Small refreshments will be served. The space is fully accessible\, with elevator access and restrooms on the same floor. Easy to reach by SEPTA\, and parking support is available. \nCome build something new with us\, a space for stories\, reflection\, and community. \n		\n			register now

SUMMARY:Summer Barn Concert & Potluck Heartsongs & Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Crow’s Nest Preserve’s beautifully rustic barn for a special evening of music\, food\, and community. This cozy winter gathering will feature an intimate performance by Anna Spackman. \nWe invite you to bring a dish to share and enjoy a potluck dinner with fellow guests before the concert.  \n \nAbout the artist: Anna Spackman delivers a soulful acoustic performance with songs that will linger in audience’s heads and hearts. After performing her early songs at the Steel City Open Mic as a teenager\, she moved to Oregon for several years\, soaking up indie\, folk\, and R&B influences of the local music scene. Having returned to Phoenixville\, Anna has shared the stage with Amy Correia\, Lucy Kaplansky\, and Chris Pureka. Anna’s soaring vocals and complex musical landscapes pay tribute to songwriters such as Joni Mitchell\, Shawn Colvin\, and Ani DiFranco. Anna has four albums and one EP available on all streaming services\, and bonus tracks up on her Bandcamp. Her newer songs explore hope and resilience in the face of oppressive systems\, and seek to connect us back to ourselves and one another.
