SUMMARY:Noontime Notions - Documenting Biodiversity in the Smokies: What We’ve Found\, What It Means\, and What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:The Noontime Notions series continues.  The program will begin at noon in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. Noontime Notions programs feature authors\, performers\, and presenters providing engaging notions for consideration\, enjoyment\, and discovery.   The program is made possible by the Friends of the Library and will last approximately one hour. \nSince 1998\, the small nonprofit Discover Life in America has been documenting life in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Its flagship project\, the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI)\, is based on the bold question: “What if we listed every living thing in the Smokies to better understand just how biodiverse the park actually is?”. Twenty-eight years later\, the ATBI includes over 22\,800 known species. Even more impressive\, over 1000 of those species are completely new to science. Now\, in an era of increased conservation threats like climate change and insect decline\, it’s time to turn this dataset into focused action. This talk will cover the history of this incredible organization\, dive into some of the most fascinating species in the ATBI\, and discuss how this data can transform the way that all of us conserve biodiversity in Southern Appalachia.\n\nSam Rosolina is the Vice President of Applied Innovation at Microbial Insights\, a laboratory focused on the use of bioremediation to address soil and groundwater contamination. He also serves as Board Chair for Discover Life in America\, one of the four nonprofit partners of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Born and raised in northeast Tennessee\, Sam developed an early appreciation for nature and has spent his career working to protect it. He holds a BA from Berea College and a PhD from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville.\n

SUMMARY:David Joy: Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference Author Readings
DESCRIPTION:Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference faculty member David Joy will give public readings of his work at the Transylvania County Library on Saturday\, May 16\, at 7:30 pm.  \nSponsored by the Transylvania County Library Foundation and Brevard College\, The Looking Glass Rock Writers’ Conference (LGRWC) offers a unique creative experience for writers\, exploring the theme “A Sense of Place.” Conference participants will work closely with award-winning writers Leslie Jamison\, Victoria Chang\, and David Joy. In addition\, conference faculty will present public readings of their work on Friday\, May 15 at Brevard College’s Porter Center and Saturday\, May 16 at the Transylvania County Library.  Both events are free to attend and open to the community. Highland Books will be on-site with books for sale\, and the authors will be available to sign copies after their presentations. Workshop attendees were selected based on applications submitted last fall; applications for May 2027 workshops will open in September 2026. \n \nFiction workshop leader David Joy grew up in the Piedmont along the Catawba River\, moved away at eighteen\, and has spent the last 22 years 100 miles west in the mountains of Jackson County. His work is place-driven and deeply rooted to Appalachia\, and has been translated into six languages. In 2023\, his debut novel was adapted to film starring Billy Bob Thornton and Robin Wright. David Joy is a critically acclaimed author known for his raw\, unflinching portrayals of life in rural Appalachia. With novels that pulse with tension\, beauty\, and heartbreak\, Joy has established himself as one of the foremost voices in contemporary Southern literature. His works delve into the complexities of poverty\, crime\, family\, and the human spirit\, capturing both the grit and grace of a region too often misunderstood. Joy is the author of five novels\, including Those We Thought We Knew (winner of the 2023 Willie Morris Award and the 2023 Thomas Wolfe Prize)\, When These Mountains Burn (winner of the 2020 Dashiell Hammett Award)\, The Line That Held Us (winner of the 2018 Southern Book Prize)\, The Weight of This World\, and Where All Light Tends to Go (Edgar finalist for Best First Novel).

SUMMARY:Cookbook Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s Cookbook Club!\nEach month we look at cookbooks\, do a little cooking\, and meet to talk about our experiences. \nFor March’s meeting\, we’ll cook from Gluten-Free Cookbook by Cristian Broglia. It includes 350 delicious recipes for naturally gluten-free food from around the world. This gorgeous and comprehensive book spotlights everyday dishes from more than 80 countries – showcasing the diversity of recipes that are deliciously gluten-free by design\, rather than reliant on\, special ingredients or substitutions. Ranging from iconic dishes to much-loved regional foods\, the global recipes in this collection include Summer Rolls (Vietnam)\, Shrimp & Grits (USA)\, Steak with Chimichurri Sauce (Argentina)\, Stewed Fava Beans (Egypt)\, Pavlova (Australia)\, Vegetable Pakoras (India)\, and Vanilla Flan (Mexico)\, all of which are naturally without gluten. The book highlights vegan\, vegetarian\, nut-free\, and dairy-free options\, along with easy-to-make 30-minute meals for those in a hurry. \nRegistered participants can stop by the library to review the book and choose a recipe to make and share with the other participants. We’ll taste each other’s culinary creations\, talk about the cookbook\, share what we learned and swap recipes. \n \n  \n
