An Enduring Presence: The Old Man of the Mountain Dover Public Library 2023-06-20 | Twenty years ago, when the Old Man of the Mountain fell from his perch high above Franconia Notch it made international news. Many in New Hampshire and beyond responded as though mourning a beloved public figure. The Profile was, and continues to be, central to New Hampshire’s literary history, tourism, commerce, political messaging, conservation, and environmental concerns and policies. This program examines the role that the Old Man has played in shaping New Hampshire’s identity from its first recorded discovery in the early 19th century until today. From extraordinary examples of innovative engineering and heroic risk-taking, to letters from children donating their allowance to help purchase the surrounding forest, the efforts made for 200 years to protect the Old Man is a major part of this story. Audiences will be asked to share their reminiscences and we will discuss why these granite ledges, the result of a “miraculous accident” according to a state geologist, have played such an outsized role in the hearts of so many.INEZ MCDERMOTT is Professor Emeritus of Art History at New England College.

It’s a fictional whodunit with shades of her real life growing up in Niagara Falls, NY and a sampling of characters who may, or may not, resemble people in the Dover area.“It was a thrill to write, and I hope readers enjoy a visit to my hometown, take in some tourist sites, feel the misty spray from a visit to the Falls, all the while, trying to solve a murder,” Biehl said. The novel began to fall into place in her head while she was on her daily walk. “I needed a plot and characters and since I am a huge fan of mysteries and thrillers, I needed to solve a murder,” she said. “The main character, Ann Delaney, was easy – someone I knew very well – a hospital spokesperson, so I created a unique hospital, set it in Grand Island, NY – just outside Niagara Falls, NY. The rest fell into place.In the novel, Ann Delaney leaves Boston, a job she loves, a vagabond daughter, and an ex-husband she struggles not to love to move to her hometown. In this city of her birth, she finds comfort in runs along the edge of the “crazy” Niagara River, simple Italian meals, and a new job with a former CEO. Just six months into her tenure as VP of Public Affairs at the Milton Center for advanced Orthopedic Medicine, a text from an aggressive Buffalo News reporter changes Ann’s life transition into an erratic search for the truth surrounding the mysterious death of a famous hockey star.Biehl began her love for seeking information and writing in high school, as she wrote for the school newspaper. She went on to major in English/Journalism at UNH receiving a BA degree, followed by a MS in Communication Management/Health Care Administration from Simmons College, Boston. She worked as a reporter for Foster’s Daily Democrat before beginning a 30- year career at WDH, retiring as Vice President of Community Relations. She is the author of A Place of Healing: A History of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, published in 2016.In addition to writing, Noreen Biehl is a current board member and past president of the Rotary Club of Dover, NH and a commissioner on the Dover Housing Authority board.

Dover Public Library Presents Anders Morley Dover Public Library 2022-03-18 | Dover Public Library presents Anders Morley, author of This Land of Snow.A passionate skier since he was a child, Anders Morley dreamed of going on a significant adventure, something bold and of his own design. And so one year in his early thirties, he decided to strap on cross-country skis to travel across Canada in the winter alone.This Land of Snow is about that journey and a man who must come to terms with what he has left behind, as well as how he wants to continue living after his trip is over. It is an honest, thoughtful, and humorous reckoning of an adventure filled with adrenaline and exuberance, as well as mistakes and danger. Along the way readers gain insight, both charming and fascinating, into Northern outdoor culture and modern-day wilderness living, the history of northern exploration and Nordic skiing, the right to roam movement, winter ecology, and more.Throughout, Morley’s clear, subtle, and self-deprecating voice speaks to a backwoods-genteel aesthetic that explores the dichotomy between wildness and refinement, language and personal story, journey and home.Dover, New Hampshirelibrary.dover.nh.gov
