SUMMARY:Conversation & Connection
DESCRIPTION:A community conversation about belonging\, memory\, and how we stay connected across difference. \n\n\n\nThe Divides Project\, in collaboration with Malden Reads and the Chinese Culture Connection (CCC)\, invite the community to a free evening of conversation and connection in the welcoming space of CCC’s new community room and offices. \n\n\n\nInspired by the themes of this year’s Malden Reads book selection Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng\, this community gathering invites participants of all backgrounds to come together for conversation—about division\, belonging\, and connection. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to have read the book to attend. Through facilitated conversation\, we’ll explore questions that feel especially present today: Why do divides emerge? How do fear and misunderstanding take root? What helps communities stay connected across differences? \n\n\n\nWhether or not you have read the book\, we will make it easy and welcoming to join the discussion. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Malden Reads Film Screening and discussion about William And The Windmill. We will be showing this film at the Malden Public Library on Wednesday\, March 26\, 2025: 6:00-8:00pm. This documentary explores the life of William Kamkwamba\, author of the book\, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind\, Malden Reads’ 2025 selection. \n\n\n\n“With only a library book as his guide\, 14-year-old William Kamkwamba builds a windmill in his Malawian village that changes his life forever. Using junk parts and an inexhaustible imagination\, he harnesses enough energy to power a generator that saves his family from famine and resuscitates his dying farming community. An instant media sensation\, the teen soon has the ability to chart a previously unimaginable future of TEDtalks\, Ivy League schools\, and speaking tours. But despite the help of an American entrepreneur who helps navigate his success\, some changes threaten to capsize him. He was once just a kid back home\, but suddenly he’s a village leader.” William And The Windmill is directed by Ben Nabors. The film is Not Rated (97 min.) (2013). \n\n\n\nPick up a copy of the book\, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind\, at the Malden Public Library or find the digital copy on Libby. \n\n\n\nFor more details about our Malden Reads Film Screening & Discussion\, please contact the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218.

SUMMARY: 2025 Kickoff Event

Set in drought-stricken Malawi\, this inspiring true story follows a young boy who\, despite incredible obstacles\, used his ingenuity to bring electricity and water to his village. Through his determination and resourcefulness\, William Kamkwamba harnessed the power of wind energy to create life-changing solutions for his community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are proud to partner with Bread of Life\, a vital food security organization that provides over 1.5 million pounds of free food annually to families\, individuals\, youth\, and seniors in the metro-Boston north area. \n\n\n\nAt this kickoff event\, local groups will showcase how they’re using resources to foster sustainability and innovation within our community. These efforts align with the themes of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind\, including water conservation\, gardening for food security\, and teaching science to the next generation. The kickoff event will also include live music\, poetry\, a variety of refreshments\, and a short presentation.  \n\n\n\nMalden Reads invites you to join us in this shared reading journey and kickoff event\, reflecting on William Kamkwamba’s story and its relevance to our own lives. Together\, we’ll explore ways to bring positive change to Malden and beyond\, supporting both human and environmental well-being. \n\n\n\nLimited parking will be available as follows: 1) On-street parking; 2) Ferry Street parking lot along the bike path; 3) Sacred Hearts Church parking spots marked with a cross in Central Plaza lot at 219 Centre Street (others will be ticketed). \n\n\n\nWe look forward to involving the whole community in our 15th year anniversary program year. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the title of all three editions of the Malden Reads selection for 2025: the adult edition\, the young readers edition\, as well as the picture book. Malden Reads events will discuss the themes of the books\, and readers may choose among the different editions. We consider the young readers edition to be an engaging and accessible read for all ages\, including adults.
