Join Portsmouth Climate Action/Seacoast Climate Action, NH Healthy Climate, and CHICKs (Climate and Health Initiative for Caregivers and Kids) for a community conversation about climate change and its impact on children's health. This monthly discussion series was formed to discuss climate issues and solutions for our community.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), children, including adolescents under age 18, are often more vulnerable than the general population to the health impacts of climate change.
Though it still serves Portsmouth well today, the Portsmouth Branch of the former Boston & Maine Railroad once connected the Seacoast to Manchester and points beyond. The photography of Richard B. Sanborn and others will illustrate the importance of this link to not only Portsmouth, but also other communities such as Raymond, Epping, and Candia. The 1982 demise of the line between Manchester and Newfields, New Hampshire will be covered as will the modern importance of the remaining trackage.
In conjunction with our lobby exhibit of Louis de Rochemont historic items related to The Whistle at Eaton Falls, the library will screen the locally filmed movie Lost Boundaries. The movie was first released in 1949 and included extras from the Seacoast area.

Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go "underground," concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution.
