Join us as we explore the powerful intersections between scientific discovery and human history. Prometheus Unleashed invites readers to examine how science has shaped—and been shaped by—social, political, and cultural forces throughout time. From the impact of disease to the rise of modern technology, from environmentalism to the science of food and drink, we will delve into stories where natural and social sciences converge. Together, we will uncover historical parallels to today’s most pressing challenges and discuss how understanding the past can illuminate the path forward.
Facilitator Bio:
Tammy and Chris Fay are lifelong educators with a shared passion for exploring the intersection of science, history, and society. Tammy has spent 28 years in science education and continues to work in the field, while Chris recently retired after a 30-year career as a social studies teacher. More than 15 years ago, they co-created a popular “History of Science” course—an idea sparked by curiosity and a desire to understand each other’s disciplines better. The course helped students make meaningful connections across subject areas and inspired their belief in interdisciplinary learning. Prometheus Unleashed is an extension of that vision, offering readers a space to examine how scientific ideas and historical events shape—and are shaped by—human experience.Couldn't load pickup availability

Curation and "Why Don't You Carry..."
Illume is an experience for readers that's meant to showcase a careful selection of titles much in the same way an art gallery would display an exhibition.
Titles are always shown "cover forward", and our inventory rotates to reflect current reader interests, shifting topics, and obscure finds. That said, we LOVE recommendations! Let us know what you're looking for, or what your favorite reads are. You may find them on the shelves soon!
Whether you're a stacked to the brim library connoisseur, or a minimalist looking for a rare gem... we hope you'll enjoy our open space, find a new treasure, and experience the cozy reading couch🤍
