November 10, 2026: Presentation at Middleton Public Library

I'm delighted to present What the Light is Hiding at the Middleton Public Library on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 from 6 to 7 PM. The library is located at 7425 Hubbard Avenue in Middleton, Wisconsin.

Everyone is welcome.

What the Light is Hiding brings to life the times long before modern Dark Sky initiatives, when some resisted the electric lights that promised to ruin their nighttime freedom and ease among shadows. Based on an essay from my book, Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless, I explore rural electrification and night vision technology through the fascinating stories of nonconformists who over the past century have embraced or sought to conquer the darkness.
