Join Laurie Byro and Circle of Voices, North for a lively discussion of the poetry of William Stafford. Famously writing a poem a day, he was asked what happens if he wasn't writing well that day. Stafford said, "I lower my expectations." The Poetry Circle meets tonight from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. To register, please call 973-728-2824 or email maynard@wmtl.org.

This week's focus is on a few of the great nonfiction books owned by WMTL.  All of these titles are part of the Scientists in the Field Series.  Come on in and check them out!

These two rovers were built for a three month exploration, but lasted over six years exploring and surviving the extreme weather conditions on Mars.
