Solar Superstorms
Mixed Ages
A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.
Solar Superstorms is a major production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections.
The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun, including a series of groundbreaking scientific visualizations computed on the giant new supercomputing initiative, Blue Waters, based at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), University of Illinois.
Brace yourself for the onslaught of the next… Solar Superstorm.

A Black Loyalist's Liberty: How Lucy Banbury Took Back Her Freedom
Adults
Lucy Banbury, once enslaved to Arthur Middleton's family, made her bid for freedom in 1777. Her story, waiting in the archives of Middleton Place Foundation, was teased out of scant primary sources that traced her freedom-seeking journey from Charleston to Sierra Leone. Part of the group of formerly-enslaved people of African descent who became known as Black Loyalists, Lucy and her husband made their perilous escapes separately, through the fog of the American War for Independence. Ultimately, they were reunited in New York and started a new life in Nova Scotia. This story has been brought to life by former Middleton Place Foundation employee Carin Bloom, and is published in the UVA Press' volume Women Waging War in the American Revolution, edited by Holly Mayer. Lucy's story is singular, but it also represents the stories of countless women, names lost to time, who attempted the same ultimate form of resistance. Come along on the perilous journey and witness Lucy's perseverance, resilience, and…

An Evening with Kaelynn Partlow
Adults
Does the name Kaelynn Partlow ring a bell for some reason? It may be because she's a tireless autism advocate, or maybe because she's a behavioral therapist with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. Or maybe it's because you saw her on the first season of Netflix's Emmy Award-winning show "Love on the Spectrum." Whatever the reason, you're about to know her name from her new book, "Life on the Bridge: Linking My World to Yours as an Autistic Therapist." Partlow's practical support for those on the autism spectrum, as well as advice for families and the medical world, have led her to the position of Lead Therapist at Project HOPE, based out of Woodruff, and now she's using that information to empower readers across the country and the world.
In partnership with Hub City Bookshop, SCPL is bringing Kaelynn Partlow to the Barrett Room to speak on her new book, the experience of helping others on the spectrum, and yeah, probably some chat about "Love on the Spectrum." We'll be giving away copies of…
