Monday, June 225:00—7:00 PMMontague Center Branch LibraryMontague Center Branch Library17 Center St, Montague, MA, 01351

Join us for a community listening event featuring a new audio documentary produced by Nicholas Boyer and Carrie Kline with Michael Kline of Talking Across the Lines. Built from interviews with farmworkers in Massachusetts’ Connecticut River Valley, the documentary explores connection, labor, language, food, and the relationships that grow when people cross lines of difference to care for one another.
The evening will also include a potluck dinner featuring everything KALE! Feel like cooking? Great. Bring your favorite kale dish and the recipe to share. Don't feel like cooking? No problem. There will be plenty of snacks to share. To help reduce waste, attendees are encouraged to bring their own reusable plates, utensils, and cups if possible.
As part of our commitment to community storytelling and environmentally conscious programming, Montague Public Libraries is proud to host programs that bring people together through shared experiences, local voices, and sustainable practices.
