The year is 1860 and Mr. Lincoln is talking to you from the White House, centering on the twelve
turbulent years from 1854-1865; years when the divisive issue of slavery came to a head and nearly destroyed the country. Hear about the historical background (beginning with the Declaration of Independence), the events which led Mr. Lincoln back into politics in the mid-1850s, the ever-escalating increase in tensions, Mr. Lincoln's election as President, and of course, the Civil War. You'll hear directly from some of Mr. Lincoln's best-known speeches and writings, and you will be inspired to hope, as he did, for a "new birth of freedom" for our country.

Berlin: History and Highlights of a Great City Thursday, June 25, 7 – 8:30 p.m.
This live event (60 minutes plus Q & A) will be run via Zoom video conferencing. Please register

Berlin has been called edgy, poor (financially), rich (culturally), liberal, exciting, historical, international, and never-ending. Mariya Fogarasi spent ten years in this fascinating capital and will focus on favorite highlights of a city which marked the 75th anniversary of its World War II capitulation on May 8, 2020.

Bees in the D: My Pollinator Garden Tuesday. June 30, 7- 8:30 p.m.
This live event (60 minutes plus Q & A) will be run via Zoom video conferencing. Please register at plymouthlibrary.org to receive login instructions.

In this presentation you will learn which garden plants are best to help attract, and ultimately
benefit, pollinators. Participants will also be introduced to a wide array of bee species and pollinators, as well as their benefits and importance to not only our ecosystem, but also to our food industry. Presenter Brian Peterson-Roest is the co-founder and president of Bees in the D, a non-profit organization devoted to the education and conservation of honey bees and other pollinators in Detroit and Southeast Michigan.
