WOODS HOLE PUBLIC LIBRARY: The library will be holding its popular “Fabric and Fiber Sale” on Sunday, March 13, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The background to this event is tied to Falmouth’s recent history and the now non-existent store, The Fabric Corner. That shop, Falmouth’s only fabric store, held a big sale every Super Bowl Sunday, inviting women whose family members were glued to the football game on the TV, giving the family a chance to delight noisily in the game and the women a chance to plan sewing projects. After the store burned down, the library picked up the idea of continuing the sale, selling donated fabric and yarn for extremely low prices, all on one day in the winter. To tie the event even closer to the Fabric Corner’s history, the library always holds the sale on Super Bowl Sunday, continuing the tradition of providing an escape from the roaring TV. People have always flocked in, resupplying for winter sewing and knitting projects. Last year the sale was not held because of COVID restrictions. This year the sale will be held with a new COVID-related twist: instead of being held in only the two rooms on the lower floor, this year it will be held throughout the library, both floors, so that people can spread out and not be too close. In preparation, books and displays will be cleared from tables in the reading rooms, as all surfaces will be made available for displaying fabric and yarn. The plan includes the COVID protocol requiring masks on all participants, and the number of people in each room is limited. People should wear warm coats as doors will be open and air filters running. Volunteers are busy, carefully measuring and labeling each piece of fabric, but it’s not too late to contribute yarn and cloth from private collections. Donations will be accepted through the Wednesday before the sale, March 9 until 5 p.m. For more information, call the library at (508) 548-8961 or email whpl_mail@clamsnet.org. It is recommended that people check the library website in the week of the sale to be sure that the event hasn’t been canceled at the last minute due to the COVID situation. Fingers crossed! The Emmy award-winning film Dawnland will be shown virtually thanks to the library on the weekend of March 18-20 with a special panel discussion on Sunday, March 20. Dawnland, an 86-minute documentary produced by the Upstander Project in Maine, is the untold story of Native children taken from their homes and put in boarding schools and foster care to force assimilation into white culture. The film documents the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was set up to address the inter-generational impact of this policy. The Woods Hole Public Library, the Falmouth Public Library, the West Falmouth Library, and a new local group, L.I.N.K.: Linking Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Knowledge, will co-sponsor the documentary. A goal of L.I.N.K. is to bring awareness to the Falmouth community of the history and culture of native people in our country and in our communities. As with all other films that the library has sponsored this year, the film will be available for people to screen from their homes anytime from noon Friday to noon Monday.  Everyone who registers for the film (by emailing whpl_mail@clamsnet.org) will receive the link to view the film as well as a link to the panel discussion and Q and A to be held on Sunday afternoon, March 20 at 3 p.m. Two of the panelists are members of the Wampanoag Tribe, Linda Coombs and gkisedtanamoogk who co-chaired of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the third, Mishy Lesser, who is co-director of the Upstander Academy. As always, people are welcome to call the library at (508) 548-8961 for information or visit the Library website www.woodsholepubliclibrary.org.
