A Talk by Ken Peal, as part of Neighborhood Falmouth's outreach program!
Author Ken Peal is continuing his investigation of bells in town that were not included in his book (Bells of Falmouth, 2023). This talk will add them to his inventory of town treasures. He is also following and participating in renovation projects. And you will hear about an important cache of artifacts that he was shown in a banker’s box in the basement of the school administratioon building. He will trace Teaticket elementary school and its bell through many different schoolhouses and locations – was the Zylinski house (demolished to make way for Town Fair Tire) originally one of the buildings?

We are very excited to welcome Don DeCristofaro for a paranormal presentation! He will show the basics and equipment needed. In the presentation he will speak on some of his most paranormal experiences at places like the Conjuring house and the Lizzie Borden House.
The presentation will concentrate on his paranormal discoveries on the USS Salem. The ship is considered one of the most active "haunting"s in New England.
Don has discovered potentially paranormal activity there with up to date technology. AND at the end, Don will be sharing some video/photographs of paranormal activity that he has encountered.
We have had our own degrees of "haunting" in the library right under the maine dome entry way....Maybe Don could help us figure it out!

Every year, nearly 30 million Americans sit on a therapist’s couch—and some of these patients are therapists. In her remarkable book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Lori Gottlieb tells us that despite her license and rigorous training, her most significant credential is that she’s a card-carrying member of the human race. “I know what it’s like to be a person,” she writes, as a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. This event is Zoom only, and does not take place at the library. Click here to register, and you will receive the Zoom link by email, before the event. This Zoom talk is brought to us by the Library Speakers Consortium-our membership is funded by the Library Support Fund.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.
We invite you to join us as Gottlieb shares her wisdom on examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves to help us breakthrough what is holding us back and getting in the way of living the life we desire. Register now to start your journey!

On 10/22 from 6-7, please join us for a talk and presentation of Edward Gorey’s work and its ties to Cape Cod and the community.
Terrible things unfold in an Edward Gorey Book—children are swept out to sea, abducted by murderous insects, fall into unsavory company, or get carried off by giant birds. Sometimes they die of boredom. Edward writes, and draws, about everyday life and, for reasons that will likely come up in this presentation, his books are a delight and extremely funny. Mostly. Gorey’s work as a book artist, an illustrator, and designer is frequently categorized as Whimsically Macabre, though we prefer the term Sinister Cozy. His work looks a hundred and thirty years older than it is yet he consistently remains thirty years ahead of us at all times. He also won a Tony award for best costume and scenic design for his work in the play Dracula.
The Presenter: Gregory Hischak is a writer and designer who has created exhibits at the Edward Gorey House since 2014. He has been the House’s Director since 2020. He has now been collaborating with Edward for ten years. Edward is the perfect boss: open to endless interpretation and not prone to disagreement—as he is dead.
