"Nathan Hale Day", Tuesday, September 22 at the Hagaman Library, 227 Main St. East Haven, CT
 At Hagaman Memorial Library, our Reference Librarian has been working around-the-clock to provide our community with fun, free, engaging, educational, and inspirational activities in celebration of America250. In keeping with this goal, we're going all-out to celebrate Connecticut's State Hero, Nathan Hale!
Nathan Hale (1755–1776) was an American schoolteacher and captain in the Continental Army who became Connecticut's official state hero in 1985. In September 1776, he volunteered for a dangerous intelligence-gathering mission behind enemy lines in New York to report on British troop movements for General George Washington. Captured by the British shortly after, the 21-year-old was hanged as a spy without a trial, cementing his place in American history with his legendary final words: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
Our Reference Librarian, Chris Hemingway, has the day booked and busy for historians and patriots of all ages, with no RSVP required:
Tues, 09/22 at 2pm: Join Chris for a discussion of "Nathan Hale: The Life and Death of America's First Spy" by M. William PhelpsTues, 09/22 at 3pm: Nathan Hale-themed Craft Activity for Kids!Tues, 09/22 at 4pm: Nathan Hale-themed Stamp Collector's Club MeetingTues, 09/22 at 5:30pm: Nathan Hale-themed History and Trivia Night!&nbsp;
