The MVCenter4Living, 'Tales and Travels' and the VHPL are collaborating to present 'Tales & Travel Memories', an innovative book and reading library program that provides services directly to people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, not just their caregivers.
Each 90 minute program takes participants on an imaginary trip to another country or region of the United States using library materials such as adult and children’s books, music, and realia. All members of the community are invited. This month's country is Greece.

Yip Harburg who wrote the lyrics for “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” said
“Words make you think, music makes you feel, songs make you feel your thoughts”. To which I add “and think your feelings”
This workshop explores ways in which we can facilitate this interaction between our thoughts and feelings to create songs.
This workshop consistes of 4 classes. Please try to attend all 4!
SESSION 1 Feb 8th
Songs harness the power of preconscious feelings and thoughts in the form of music and words.
We will explore techniques to tap into this reservoir and “invite” songs to come
Members will capture at least a fragment of a song with music and lyric everyday.
SESSION 2 March 8th
What makes a “good song lyric” and “good song music” can only be understood in terms of how they interact with each other. Most songs are not great poems nor great music but the lyrics and music are bigger
than the sum of the parts.. It is how they come together that makes a successful song.
Members will write a complete song in week 2.
SESSION 3 April 12th
Asking for inspiration from others and ourselves.
It’s not just ok to borrow musical and lyrical ideas, it’s inevitable! We will select words from a favorite poem or prose that members will write music for, and do the same selecting either a melody or chord progression from a favorite song or piece of music that they will write lyrics for.
Members will ask themselves “what is the most important thing for me to communicate in a song this week?” Having selected it members will write that song during the week.
SESSION 4 May 10th
Songs must be sung!! Members will select one of the songs they have written during the 4 months and share it with or without instrumental accompaniment. When possible, we will all sing harmony with the songwriter.
This exciting songwriting opportunity wil be led by Peter Halperin, who brought down the house
at the Chilmark Jam last November.
This series is brought to you in collaboration with the VH, WT and Chilmark Public Libraries. This program
will run both in person (at the VH library) and via Zoom but will not be recorded.

This class will show how Google Workspace (and its integrated apps) can support your business without breaking the bank.
As a small business owner, you’re used to juggling lots of different tasks. One minute you’re emailing a customer, the next, you’re scheduling a series of meetings. With the right digital tools, you can streamline tasks so you can focus on the work that matters most to your business.
What makes Google Workspace effective for small businesses is how the different apps are connected and work together. For example, with your email, calendar, and video chat all connected, you can easily schedule meetings, send invites, sync calendars, present over the video, and more.
You can easily extend Google Workspace to meet your team’s unique digital marketing needs in the areas of:
- Personalized email campaigns
- Announce your internet presence
- Create a website
- Use Slide to present your products
- Survey your customers
- Collect customer feedback
- Develop marketing materials
- Collaborate with your team online
- Secure backup and security
This exciting opportunity will be led by Paul Gentile, whose career at Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation focused in the areas of strategic planning and IT. While in upstate New York, he worked at Cornell University and helped establish their first digital archiving conservation project before moving to an administrative position in the School of Engineering. A Cape Cod resident since 1999, he has worked at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in IT. Most recently, he held the position of Energy Coordinator for the Town of Falmouth where he still coordinates various energy-related projects. He has taught classes at WHOI, the Oak Bluffs Public Library, Mashpee Senior Center, Falmouth New Comers Club, Falmouth Community School, Barnstable Senior Center and the Town of Falmouth.
This program will take place in the Program Room (lower level) at the VHPL and is co-sponsored with the Chilmark Public Library.

Join us for a live virtual tour of the Slavery and Reconstruction exhibit at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We'll explore their exhibit, Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality, as a museum educator leads us through the exhibit. Learn how constitutional clashes over slavery set the stage for the Civil War, and how the nation transformed the Constitution after the war during the Reconstruction period, taking a particularly close look at the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Along the way, our guide will highlight the stories of people like Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, and other figures central to the conflict over slavery. We will also get an up-close look at special artifacts on display, including original copies of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, Dred Scott's signed petition for freedom, a fragment of the flag that Abraham Lincoln raised at Independence Hall, a commemorative copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, and more!
This virtual tour is provided in conjunction with the National Constitution Center.
