WOODS HOLE PUBLIC LIBRARY

October 19 @ 8:00 am - October 26 @ 5:00 pm

The “Creative Living Book Club” meets every month with the goal of building a supportive creative community. Exploring books ranging from poetry to collage artists to essays on color to advice from other creatives, we dive into how to build creative rituals into our daily lives and explore new art forms and how to embrace creativity as a way of life. Feel free to bring paper to doodle on, your current fiber arts craft, or a creative project to work on during our monthly meetings as we meet to discuss our latest read! We don’t want to just talk about creativity; we want to embody it! For more information and a link to upcoming readings, please visit our website at woodsholepubliclibrary.org.  Screening and discussion series using films to foster open, compassionate community dialogue around end-of-life planning, death, dying, post-death care, and bereavement. This community-centered program seeks to help break cultural taboos and ease the fear of the unknown by bringing people together to share perspectives. Hosted by Cape Cod Community Death Education, with discussion facilitated by Heather Massey, Kyle Banks, and others on the facilitation team. This is an in-person event. Join us at the Woods Hole Library to collage and draw to create an innovative, treasured art piece. Mixed-media art teacher Sarah Kahn will guide you and your child through the steps to complete a fun and meaningful piece. All ages are welcome – this workshop is designed for both kids and caregivers. Materials will be provided, and feel free to bring papers and pages from date books, maps, or journals to imbue your artwork with personal meaning. No registration required. Athena Aicher will share stories and photos from her recent sailing trip to the southwest coast of Greenland and back on October 26 at 6 p.m. She and her shipmates (including fellow Woods Hole resident Olwen Huxley) left Vineyard Haven on June 28, 2026, aboard the 44-foot schooner CALABASH. They returned to Woods Hole on September 14, 2026. A rugged odyssey and an immersion into the natural world, the trip was full of wonder and awe. Athena was awarded a grant from the SEA  Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship to make this season-long sailing voyage. This talk is free of charge, and no registration is required.
