Interested in joining a book club, but worried you won't like the books? Concerned that the books might be too long to fit into your schedule? We have a solution! We are starting an Any Book Club. What is an any book club you ask? Great question! An any book club is a book club where the members read any book that fits a specific theme or category. Each member will choose their own book for each month, which means you may be reading the same book as someone else, but maybe not! And don't worry, we will provide suggestions each month, in case the theme is new to you. Over the next year we will be using the Mass Center for the Book's 2025 Reading Challenge as our Any Book Club guide. During our meetings we will get to discuss that month's topic as it relates to literature in general, and the books we read in specific. If you choose, you can share with us a brief blurb of your thoughts on any of the books you read, and we will compile an "as recommended by our patrons" readers guide at the end of the year. June's Theme: A book that spans multiple generations Meetings will take place at the fireplace!Please reach out to Annisha ([email protected]) and/or Victoria ([email protected]) with any questions, or use the button below to register now!

It gives us a sense of life through the years in a small seaside village where thelibrary was often the heartbeat of the village. Conversations took place, neighbors visited and ideas were exchanged, be they books or community enrichment. The South Chatham library is unique in its size and having had only 12 librarians in its history. Their stories are as intriguing as those of the library itself. Presented by Barbara Semple. This program is part of Historic Chatham's June History Month.

Truro Library Book GroupJune selection is Agent ZigZag by Ben MacIntyre Eddie Chapman was a charming criminal, a con man, and a philanderer. He was also one of the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. In 1941, after training as German spy in occupied France, Chapman was parachuted into Britain with a revolver, a wireless, and a cyanide pill, with orders from the Abwehr to blow up an airplane factory. Instead, he contacted M15, the British Secret service, and for the next four years, Chapman worked as a double agent, a lone British spy at the heart of the German Secret Service. Inside the traitor was a man of loyalty inside the villain was a hero. The problem for Chapman, his spymasters, and his lovers was to know where one persona ended and the other began. The Book group is now meeting inside (or outside when possible) the Library. If you would like to join virtually, please email Maggie to receive a Zoom invite.

In the following days, more topiaries appear, and each one is more beautiful than the last. Soon, William’s gray little town is full of color and life. And though the mysterious night gardener disappears as suddenly as he appeared, William—and his town—are changed forever.

“When I was 10 years old, my mother handed me her folding Kodak camera. I found my tool.”   -Anne Marie Leone Anne Marie Leone is a freelance photojournalist and videographer. A native New Yorker, Ms. Leone resides in Ossining, New York, along the Hudson River – one of her photographic passions. In Westchester County she has been director of photography for Women’s News, staff photographer for The Rivertowns Enterprise, and contributing writer/photographer for The Scarsdale Inquirer, Westchester Magazine and Hudson Valley Magazine. A permanent installation of her Hudson Valley images hangs at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Kisco, New York. Her Notable Women’s Collection was donated to the Gender Studies Department at S.U.N.Y. Purchase. While Ms. Leone was an instructor in the Communications Media Arts program at Roosevelt High School in Yonkers, she directed State of the Art, a cable series about art and artists in the Westchester, New York, region. This year Ms. Leone’s photograph, Stone Bridge, which she took at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in Pleasantville, New York, was accepted as a winner in the New York State Parks Centennial Photography Exhibit. In 2001 Ms. Leone and her partner, Rennie Dorfman, while visiting friends on the Cape, discovered that “There’s Something About the Cape.” They purchased a condo in Brewster. The Cape and its environs offered a new palette for Ms. Leone to create. Using either camera or iPhone, Ms. Leone captures the essences of the Cape. She enhances her images with a “digital paintbrush.” Studying the image, she decides which texture - archival photo paper, canvas, wood, metal or glass - will increase its beauty. On the Cape Ms. Leone has exhibited some winning photographs at the Gallery of Orleans Camera Store in Orleans. She feels The Cape awakens all the senses and continually inspires her. Anne Marie Leone’s photographs can be seen at www.facebook.com/AML823, on Instagram @aml.pointofviews and www.etsy/shop/MyPointOfViews. https://brewsterladieslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/set-up-the-photography-of-anne-marie-leone/

Do you know that you can attract birds to your garden while also helping the environment, watering less, and reducing garden chores? Join Master Gardener Fran Raleigh to learn how modifying garden practices and introducing native plants can help support the local ecosystem and increase biodiversity. Because they are adapted to our local soil and climate, native plants require less water and other inputs, and they form the base of native food chains that feed birds. Fran will introduce you to specific plants native to Cape Cod that can increase the appeal of your yard to our native and migrating birds. About the Presenter: Fran grew up watching nature in her Northern VA neighborhood. She began getting to know wild plants during college in OH, and continued botanizing during grad school in Syracuse. She didn’t try gardening until she was settled, teaching college biology in NJ, where she soon began introducing native plants into her yard. She retired in 2018 and moved to Cape Cod. A member of the Master Gardener class of 2019, she is eager to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for nature and gardening. Her primary focus in gardening is to celebrate native plants and create habitat. https://brewsterladieslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/attracting-birds-to-your-garden-a-conversation-with-master-gardener-fran-raleigh/

Step back in time to Cottage City, Massachusetts, in the year 1890, where something sinister is afoot in the Sea View House in this up and coming seaside resort town. In this interactive radio play, the cast will set the stage for a crime of Victorian proportions — but the twists, turns, and soundscape will be shaped by you, the audience! It’s a fake mystery with real history!For each of our summer performances, a new “guest detective” will be chosen from the audience to step into the story, making key decisions that alter the course of the investigation. Meanwhile, other audience members will bring the world to life with live sound effects—whether it’s the distant clang of a trolley, the creak of a dock underfoot, or the Steamship horn sending out a warning blast. Will you help solve the mystery, or will the truth slip away into the fog rolling off Vineyard Sound? Join us for a hilarious, one-of-a-kind performance where history, mystery, and humor wash ashore!

West Tisbury Free Public Library

Photo Engagement Project – Online The West Tisbury Library presents online gatherings of the Photo Engagement Project (PEP). This event meets on the first Thursday of each month at 5:30pm. The PEP meets on Zoom while the library building remains closed. Please contact the West Tisbury Library to join by emailing [email protected]. Free and open to the public. About the PEP: This monthly gathering is open to people of all different ages, backgrounds, and experiences. Participants do not need to be photographers or live on-island. All are welcome, including children through to seniors, individuals who simply have an appreciation for photography, individuals who would like to learn or are just starting out, students, and amateurs and professionals. The goal is to increase engagement in and enthusiasm for photography, at the level each individual chooses, whilst simultaneously encouraging each individual to do the same for others. In this way, the PEP hopes to promote an ongoing cycle of shared creative activity around the enjoyment of photography, and enhance wellbeing. The PEP does not have a jurying process, and does not critique participants’ work. It is designed to increase accessibility and engagement; help develop confidence, ideas, and connections; and offer opportunities for people to receive, and give, help in a safe and supportive environment. Participants are not required to attend every meeting. At meetings, each participant will be asked to contribute something small, as we all have something to give, as well as learn. Some ideas may include: bringing a few of your own photos, images of a photographer’s work that inspires you, a quote or excerpt from a book/magazine, tips, news of artist opportunities/workshops, or potential project proposals such as a photo walk, printing images, or outreaching to an island organization.

Taboo, silly, and fascinating: at The Poop Museum, youâll learn fantastic, fabulous, and fun facts about human, animal, and insect poop! Susie, expert and creator of Poop Museum, blends solid science and poop hilarity to invite curiosity, questions, and fun. About the presenter: The Poop Museum started life as an online program, created by Susie Maguire. The idea for The Poop Museum arrived on October 3rd 2020, as Susie was sitting in her back yard. She and her nephew Henry, shared a love of lavatorial humour, and were always leaving each other funny poopy messages. Susie decided to write Henry a book. It was called âAttack of the Notorious Poop Monkeyâ and the story was set in A Poop Museum. Susie loved the idea so much that she launched The Poop Museum program the same day, and the rest is history. https://falmouthpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/poop-museum/

Author and veterinarian Philipp Schott will discuss his upcoming book, "Heal the Beasts: A Jaunt Through the Curious History of the Veterinary Arts". This history of veterinary medicine provides an abundance of bizarre, funny, surprising, and heartwarming anecdotes. Heal the Beasts chronicles human efforts to treat animal illnesses from 14,000 BCE to today. This is Zoom only, and does not take place in the library. Click here to register, and you will receive the Zoom link, and the recording later. This talk has been shared with us by the Ashland Library.  About the book: How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. In many ways, we are returning to the outlook of our distant ancestors after a centuries-long detour through a more utilitarian approach. James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-20th-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature, from dogs, cows, horses, and cats to canaries, gorillas, and even dragons. Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight. https://falmouthpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/zoom-talk-heal-the-beasts-with-author-and-veterinarian-philipp-schott/

Instead, we will use the doorman and the man from the country as archetypes to:  * Discover your "Inner Doorman": The unseen barriers and grand illusions that sometimes prevent us from moving forward in life.  * Challenge Your Own "Laws": Explore how our interpretations and internal narratives might be holding us back from taking risks, embracing change, and truly living.  * Embrace Your Freedom: Unlock your inherent power to choose who you are, to challenge your own limitations, and to step fully into your authentic self. Swan is an existential doula and a passionate guide dedicated to exploring life's most profound questions. With over a decade as an adjunct philosophy professor at Cape Cod Community College, she teaches core subjects including Logic, Introduction to Philosophy, Existentialism, and Moral Philosophy/Ethics. Her extensive academic background is further enriched by a double master's in Public Policy, specializing in Environmental Ethics and Social Justice. Swan's work empowers individuals to navigate life's significant transitions, explore deeper purpose, and cultivate a more authentic and courageous path forward.

Join us for this fascinating botany lecture in collaboration with the Nantucket Conservation FoundationThe Atlantic coastal plain ecological province is famous for its botanical richness, with biodiversity hotspots stretching from Florida to the Cape and Islands of Massachusetts.  Although biodiversity is greater in southern latitudes, certain patterns of vegetation form a common thread that make for a familiar backdrop even when one is far from home. Drawing on his experiences botanizing in coastal plain habitats in North Carolina (as well as South Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey), Peter will give a visual tour of some southern habitats, with special focus on the plants shared with the past and present Nantucket flora.Peter Grima works as a Service Forester in northern Berkshire County – also known as the complete opposite corner of the state from Nantucket! – for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation. He is also an accomplished botanist responsible for many discoveries of rare and interesting plants across the Commonwealth, including Nantucket. He is coauthor of the 2020 Vascular Flora of Franklin County, Massachusetts, and a collaborator on the upcoming Flora of Mount Toby in western Massachusetts.Free Admission
