SUMMARY:Bounded Freedom: Human Expression in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 1\, 2026 at 3 PM\nThe Pennington School\,\n12 W. Delaware Ave\, Pennington\, NJ\nRegistration Required: https://www.penningtonlibrary.org/boundedfreedom/ \n“Civilization now depends on self-deception\, perhaps it always has\,” writes novelist Ted Chiang in the bestseller Exhalation: Stories. Is generative artificial intelligence giving birth to a new era of self-deception\, where anyone without talent or training can make music\, sonnets\, and film? \n\n\n\nWe often define civilizations by their historic\, artistic\, and philosophical advancements. What happens to societies when humans outsource their voices to algorithms trained on the totality of human expression? Will it result in what critics have called the great flattener\, reducing what makes people unique and imperfect to the lowest predictive denominator? Or will this technological advancement become a great equalizer\, empowering the most vulnerable and those who never had the privilege to unlock their potential? Can any of us be truly free if we are bound to a co-intelligence movement\, using AI as a creative companion? Or is the very question itself a threat to civilization and a form of self-deception? \nAbout the Presenter: Dr. Nathan C. Walker is an award-winning First Amendment and human rights educator at Rutgers University\, where he teaches AI ethics and law as an Honors College faculty fellow. He is the principal investigator at the AI Ethics Lab\, the founding editor of the AI & Human Rights Index\, a contributing researcher to the Munich Declaration of AI\, Data and Human Rights\, and a non-resident research fellow at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Dr. Walker is a certified AI Ethics Officer and has held visiting research appointments at Harvard and Oxford universities. He has also served as an Expert AI Trainer for OpenAI’s Human Data Team\, where he applied his expertise to frontier AI models. \nThis event is part of our 2026 Beyond the Page – an initiative designed to broaden our imaginations and understanding of our world\, our neighbors\, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.  The featured book Exhalation contains nine stunningly original\, provocative\, and poignant stories\, where author Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity’s oldest questions\, along with new quandaries only he could imagine. Please visit PenningtonLibrary.org/2026BeyondThePage for a full calendar of events and more information.

He is a firm believer that community-centered library programs are what keep his feet on the ground. \nMatt Smith has served as Organist and Choirmaster at Haddonfield UMC since 2021.

SUMMARY:Humuments art class with Mickey Waring
DESCRIPTION:Come join artist Mickey Waring in creating one-of-a-kind Humument art. The word “Humuments” was coined in 1956 when Tom Phillips set himself a task—to find a second-hand bookstore and alter every page of a bargain book by circling certain words and painting in between the lines and margins. The first version of his idea was printed by the Tetrad Press in 1973. \nWe will be taking a page of text—I often will use poetry books or sheet music with lyrics that I find at second-hand book stores—but any topic of interest will be fine. The originator of the form used only one book for all of his humuments! Then we’ll circle words that pop-out and inspire imagery—filling the empty negative spaces with color\, patterns and design! \nAdd collage\, color pencil\, watercolor and other mixed media elements will also be integrated into the artworks. \nParticipants are asked to bring a page of text of a poem or passage in a book that is meaningful for them. Texts will be available if participants are unable to bring one.

SUMMARY:The Great Silence of Lichens: Biology\, Ecology\, and Listening via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026 @ 7 PM via zoom\nRegistration Required \nWhat do lichens—those quiet crusts on rocks and trees—have to do with intelligence\, communication\, and loss? Lichens are not single organisms but living partnerships between fungi and photosynthetic partners\, thriving in some of the harshest environments on Earth and recording ecological change over centuries. Their slow growth\, long lives\, and sensitivity to disturbance make them powerful indicators of what we notice—and what we overlook—in the natural world. \nIn this online talk\, biologist and author Dennis Waters explores the remarkable biology and ecology of lichens through the lens of Ted Chiang’s acclaimed short story The Great Silence. No background in biology or literary theory is required—just curiosity about the living world and the stories we tell about it. \nAbout Our Presenter: Dennis Waters is a retired Internet publisher. He recently stepped down after 12 years of service as Lawrence Township Historian. Currently he is a visiting scientist at the Chrysler Herbarium at Rutgers University. Dennis serves as president of the Lawrence Township Environmental Education Foundation\, and trustee of the Lawrence Township Community Foundation.\nA Beyond The Page program in partnership between The Pennington Public Library and The Sourland Conservancy.
