Byrd Center\, Auditorium\nTIME: 6:30 p.m.\nCOST: Free \nPutting “politics” and “trust” in the same sentence can feel like a bit of a stretch. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that just 17 percent of Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right. By comparison\, a YouGov poll found that 28 percent of Americans believe Bigfoot exists. \nThis lack of faith in politics and governing institutions has serious ramifications for the country. There are strong arguments that declining confidence in leadership and institutions is justified\, while others point to increasingly toxic political discourse as a key driver of that distrust. Either way\, the result is a widening gap between the public and the institutions that govern them. \nAs President John F. Kennedy once said\, “If people lose faith in their government\, the result is the same whether or not the loss of confidence is justified.” \nSo\, are our best days behind us? The answer\, as always\, depends on us. Before we look to political leaders for all the solutions\, we should also engage in some self-reflection\, study our history\, and seriously consider what is necessary to preserve and protect the republic. \nAbout this lecture series:\nDr. Mary J.C. Hendrix\, former president of Shepherd University\, created this distinguished lecture series for the campus and community\, and it became a cornerstone of the Lifelong Learning Program. The series continues to be a valued collaboration between Lifelong Learning and the Office of the President\, and we are pleased to carry this tradition forward as we welcome Shepherd University’s new president\, Dr. Cameron B. Wesson.\nAll lectures\, which are free and open to the public\, take place in the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education auditorium. These lectures will also be livestreamed on the Shepherd University Youtube channel. \nOrganizer: Shepherd University Lifelong Learning \nLocation: Robert C.

Rooted in the\nprinciples of climate justice\, this collection draws attention\nto the vanishing habitats of species like the osprey\, whose\npopulations along the Chesapeake Bay are in alarming\ndecline. Gonzalez\, a queer and AuDHD birder\, writes with\naching tenderness and sharp clarity about what we lose\nwhen we allow our ecosystems to collapse. Composed\nentirely outdoors–in forests\, marshes\, and along\nshorelines–the poems evoke deep kinship with wild spaces\nand the creatures who call them home. From meditations\non ospreys and herons to reflections on grief\, healing\, and\ninterdependence\, Where the Osprey Nest asks readers to\nlisten\, to remember\, and to act. These poems remind us\nthat we are not separate from nature–we are nature. And if\nwe are to survive\, we must rise in defense of the living\nworld. \nThe evening will begin with an open mic\, inviting attendees to share original poetry or prose centered around love for the natural world. Pieces may be polished or in-progress. All voices are welcome. \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event URL:https://shepherdstownshares.com/event/eco-poetry-open-mic-reading-with-hillary-gonzalez/ CATEGORIES:Community & Civic,Community Events,Health & Wellness,Imported,Outdoors & Nature END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261005T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261005T235959 DTSTAMP:20260720T120514Z CREATED:20260720T120514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260720T120514Z UID:1757-1791228600-1791244799@shepherdstownshares.com SUMMARY:Nature Nook: "The Overstory"by Richard Powers DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Nature Nook! \nWe evolved from the natural world\, yet many of us now spend our days in spaces shaped more by concrete\, screens\, and schedules than by forests\, fields\, and streams.

At Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. Please be aware that the ability to not “yuck someone’s yum” IS required for attendance as everyone has different preferences\, not every book is for every person\, and we want to show one another kindness and respect. \nBook clubs are intended to be a safe space for readers to share their thoughts and connect with others\, which is especially true with Romance. In our efforts to be inclusive while balancing emotional comfort\, the group facilitator reserves the right to ask a guest to leave if they are creating an uncomfortable environment or are not participating respectfully.\n​\n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event URL:https://shepherdstownshares.com/event/lusty-literature-book-club-devour-me-by-emily-rath/ CATEGORIES:Arts / Exhibits,Community & Civic,Community Events,Imported,Lecture / Discussion / Book Talk,Music / Performance / Theater END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261011T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261011T235959 DTSTAMP:20260720T120519Z CREATED:20260720T120519Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260720T120519Z UID:1770-1791725400-1791763199@shepherdstownshares.com SUMMARY:Bookbound Buddies Book Club: "Inkbound" by Philippa Leathley DESCRIPTION:Bookbound Buddies is where books take us on grand adventures and the readers we meet along the way become fast friends.
