Library Staff Art Show

The Library Staff Art Show is on display at the Falmouth Public Library and there is still time to check it out! The Library Staff Art Show includes the work of Lisa Howland, Linda Collins, Megan Krohn, and Kim DeWall!  The show, including works in watercolors, oils, mixed media, and ceramic pottery, will be on display throughout the month of January in the Adult Collections Room.  The ceramic pieces are in the exhibit case in the Katharine Lee Bates Lobby.

Puzzles and Board Game Donations

Calling All Puzzles and Games
Do you have games and puzzles that you don't want anymore or are taking up too much space in your closet?  Consider donating them to the library!  We are looking for puzzles and board/card games that are in good condition and are complete with all of their pieces.  These donations can be dropped off this Winter at the library's reference desk.  Any items that we unable to use will be further donated. Have a question, give us a call at 508-457-2555 x 7 or email info@falmouthpubliclibrary.org.  

Call for Joy of Learning Instructors

Joy of Learning Instructors

The Falmouth Public Library is looking for instructors for its Joy of Learning program this April and October. Classes are taught by volunteer lecturers on a subject they are passionate and knowledgeable about. The classes are often on academic topics (history, literature, science, the arts, religion and philosophy), but all kinds of topics are welcomed. Classes are not generally repeated from session to session, but former instructors may return to teach new classes.

 The format is commonly four one-hour lectures or smaller discussions during a morning or afternoon of the instructor's choice, (e.g., Mondays from 10 to 11 AM, April 1, 8, 15 and 22), but the number and length of classes can be flexible provided they begin in April or October. Course ideas need to be beginner-friendly and accessible to those with little or no knowledge of the subject. 

Those interested in teaching a class in the future or who know anyone who might be interested should contact Sue Henken at shenken@falmouthpubliclibrary.org or 508-457-2555, extension 2934, with contact information and course ideas. The library will contact interested parties if the proposal is a good match.
