September Exhibit ~ Karen Rinaldo
September's Art Exhibit features the work of artist and visual historian Karen Rinaldo from her book "In the Wake of the Mayflower," co-authored with Kevin M. Doyle (2019).

Their unique book chronicles the journey from the Old World to the New World, a story told through the places and events that have shaped our history for the past 400 years. The book is available with your library card.

Community

Five Images, One Theme
To sustain interest in the arts, encourage conversation and response, and provide suggestions for reading and viewing, the Eastham Library invites the public this summer to enjoy a presentation of nonlocal artwork unified by the theme, Community. These gorgeous, enlarged images can be viewed from the library’s Reading Garden. The images and corresponding multigenerational reading and responding suggestions may also be viewed by clicking on this link. If you would like a take-away packet of the images and companion pieces, please call the library (508-240-5950) to arrange a time for curbside pick-up.
