SUMMARY:The Beetle Cat with Bill Womack
DESCRIPTION:Lifelong sailor Bill Womack visits the library with a fascinating look into the history of the Beetle Cat sailboat on Wednesday\, July 22 at 5 p.m. Free and open to all. This program is brought to you in partnership with the Chapoquoit Yacht Club. \nJoin the owner of Beetle\, Inc. at the library for this unique opportunity to dive into the history of the Beetle Cat\, from the Beetle Whaleboats in the 1800s in New Bedford to the boat’s present-day construction at the Beetle Cat Boat Shop in Wareham\, MA. \nGrowing up sailing Beetle Cats in the 1950s out on Onset Harbor\, and a life-long love of traditional wooden sailing craft\, made the opportunity to own and work with these timeless\, classic boats perfect for Bill Womack. In addition to childhood experiences and personal interests\, Bill also served in the United States Navy with Seabee Team 1110/1114 in South Vietnam from 1966 to 1970. A degree in Civil Engineering and over 40 years working in heavy highway construction as a Professional Engineer and Operations Manager\, helped to prepare him for the important task of preserving the art of traditional plank-on-frame wood boat construction at the Beetle Boat Shop.

SUMMARY:Dream Tale Puppets Presents “Alice\, or the Red King’s Dream” in Woods Hole

Join Alice on her topsy-turvy adventure and see where the dream leads! \nThe performance features a variety of puppet types\, including tabletop\, figure\, glove\, and rod puppets.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: Mark Barrow\, Virginia Tech
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world\, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series. Lectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. \n“Carson’s Clarion Call: The Noisy Response to Silent Spring” – Mark Barrow\, Virginia Tech \nThe publication of Silent Spring (1962) generated a firestorm of controversy and helped catalyze the modern environmental movement. Why did Rachel Carson’s critique of modern pesticides have such a far-reaching impact? This lecture argues that its influence grew out of a convergence of Carson’s authority as both scientist and bestselling author\, a cultural climate of heightened anxiety about postwar chemical and nuclear technologies\, and the aggressive strategies of her critics. A trained biologist and accomplished writer with access to a broad network of scientific experts\, Carson offered readers a compelling\, accessible synthesis of the risks associated with the postwar embrace of synthetic pesticides. Equally important\, Silent Spring appeared at a moment of growing public concern over widely publicized chemical and pharmaceutical safety scandals and radioactive fallout from atmospheric nuclear testing. Finally\, the response of Carson’s critics—including chemical companies\, economic entomologists\, and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials—proved largely counterproductive: their concerted efforts to discredit Carson only amplified her message\, ensuring that the reaction to Silent Spring was anything but silent. \nMark V. Barrow\, Jr. is a professor of history at Virginia Tech whose work spans environmental\, animal\, and American cultural history\, as well as the history of biology\, natural history\, and wildlife conservation. A prizewinning teacher and scholar\, he is the author of A Passion for Birds: American Ornithology after Audubon (Princeton University Press\, 1998)\, Nature’s Ghosts: Confronting Extinction from the Age of Jefferson to the Age of Ecology (University of Chicago Press\, 2009)\, and Gator!: The Making of America’s Iconic Reptile\, from First Encounters to Florida Man (University of Chicago Press\, forthcoming). His research has been supported by the American Philosophical Society\, the National Science Foundation\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nNo registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8:00 PM.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: Lauren O’Connell\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world\, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series. \nLectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM in the Cornelia Clapp Auditorium. \n“Dance for Your Dinner: How Young Brains Signal Hunger to Their Parents” – Lauren O’Connell\, Stanford University \nIn the rainforests of Central and South America\, tiny poison frog parents make an extraordinary investment: they return again and again to their young\, delivering unfertilized eggs as food. In response\, their tadpoles perform a striking “begging dance\,” signaling their hunger with precise\, stereotyped movements. How does a developing brain generate this behavior—and how do parents recognize and respond to it? The O’Connell lab uses this vivid interaction to explore how internal states like hunger are translated into communication\, and how early social experiences shape the brain. By following this dialogue between parent and offspring\, her lab’s work uncovers fundamental principles of how brains give rise to social behavior\, from the very start of life. \nLauren A. O’Connell received her B.A. from Cornell University and her Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. She was a Bauer Fellow at Harvard University\, where she established her independent research program. Dr. O’Connell is currently an Associate Professor of Biology at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:"Democracy" screening at Highfield Hall
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the role of crafts and how the “handmade” is woven into our nation’s history\, the Falmouth Cultural Council is partnering with Highfield Hall & Gardens to present “Democracy\,” an award-winning documentary produced by the nonprofit organization Craft in America.\n \n\nThe free screening will take place on Wednesday\, July 1\, 7 PM at Highfield Hall & Gardens\, 56 Highfield Drive\, Falmouth. Registration is recommended online at https://highfieldhallandgardens.org/event/craft-in-america-democracy-screening/ \nThe event is part of Craft in America’s “Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026\,” a nationwide initiative to celebrate the diversity of crafts that define America and bring underrepresented art and artists into the spotlight.  \nThe artists highlighted in the film include ceramic artist and Gulf War Marine Veteran Ehren Tool who uses his work “to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the world”; calligrapher Sammy Little\, who demonstrates how cursive writing—whether in the country’s founding documents or her great-great-grandfather’s Civil War letters—creates personal connections that bring history to life; and the educators and students of historic Berea College\, who sell their handmade wares to support the school’s commitment to tuition-free learning and to “lifting up democracy and the promises of America.” \nFollowing the 56-minute film\, the audience will participate in a discussion about the ideas raised by the film. Although the film premiered in December 2020\, the issues it raises—the importance of federal support for the arts and national institutions\, such as the Smithsonian Museum—remain current. \nAlice Kociemba\, chairperson of the Cultural Council\, describes the film as both inspirational and provocative. “The Council thought that co-sponsoring this event with Highfield Hall & Gardens would be a way for the whole community to engage in how the arts reflect the promises of democracy. As Robert Lynch\, the former executive director of  Americans for the Arts\, comments\, ‘I’d love to see everyone in our country as a maker…to engage with something beautiful and to understand the world in a different way because of that.”

SUMMARY:Woods Hole Public Library Social Justice Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Woods Hole Public Library Social Justice Book Group will discuss Ocean Vuong’s Emperor of Gladness on Wednesday\, June 17\, at 7pm via Zoom. \nFrom the publisher: “One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness\, Connecticut\, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain\, ready to jump\, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina\, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia\, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options\, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year\, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond\, one built on empathy\, spiritual reckoning\, and heartbreak\, with the power to transform Hai’s relationship to himself\, his family\, and a community on the brink. \nFollowing the cycles of history\, memory\, and time\, The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love\, labor\, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong’s writing—formal innovation\, syntactic dexterity\, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss\, hope\, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance.” \nAll are welcome to join in for this discussion. Please email whpl_mail@clamsnet.org to receive the Zoom link. Copies of the book are available at the Library to check out and to purchase at Eight Cousins Bookstore.

SUMMARY:International Book Group – Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor
DESCRIPTION:The International Book Group at West Falmouth Library is a volunteer-led group that meets on the first Wednesday of each month 3:45-5 p.m. Selections have either foreign settings or foreign authors\, usually both. New members are always welcome! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes; register below. Meetings are both in-person and on Zoom. \n“Hurricane Season is\, first and foremost\, a horror story―its horror coming from rather than contrasting with the lyricism of Melchor’s prose. Instead of supplying a welcome breeze in the heat\, the local river is where the children find the Witch’s body. Sophie Hughes’s translation renders the expansive\, punishing spirit of Mexican slang impressively.”― Emmanuel Ordóñez Angulo\, New York Review of Books \n“Melchor’s English-language debut is a furious vortex of voices that swirl around a murder in a provincial Mexican town. Forceful\, frenzied\, violent\, and uncompromising\, Melchor’s depiction of a town ogling its own destruction is a powder keg that ignites on the first page and sustains its intense\, explosive heat until its final sentence.”― Publishers Weekly
