The Majesty and Mystery of “Crop
Circles”
is a powerpoint presentation featuring
breathtaking images of exquisite designs found each year in
farmers’ fields all over the world. The presentatin
includes photographs of these remarkable occurences and open discussion
to explain the mysterious energies at work. Effects of the
formations on electronic equipment, soils, animals, and humans as well
as frequent observations of hovering “balls of light,”
are given consideration. Many of these intricate designs
incorporate animal motifs, encode mystical traditions, and occur near
sacred sites. Questions are welcome throughout the presentation,
and everyone is invited to share their ideas about how and why these
formations (several thousand to date) are manifesting on our landscape.

WHO WE ARE
The Friends of the Dover Free Library was formed
in 2006 to support the staff by assisting with ongoing tasks and
programs, fundraising, and co-creating additional events that provide
opportunities for lifelong learning. The Friends of the DFL
include full-time and seasonal East and West Dover residents who value
the many ways in which our library enriches our community and
contributes to our quality of life. There is no cost to
membership; the only requirement is a desire to support the library.
The Friends are led by four officers and three directors who are
elected annually. VIEW THE FRIENDS’ BY-LAWS (51K PDF).
