The Yarmouth Port Library
Presents
A Look Back at the Cape Cod Canal’s Bridges
With Samantha Gray
Friday, October 30th, 1:00 PM

So much of the focus today is on the future of the bridges that span the Cape Cod Canal. After all, these structures provide a vital link in this community and region. This program, however, will have us looking back in time. What spanned the waterways before? How did our bridges come to be? And what was their impact? With the aid of historic images and film, we’ll explore these stories and more. Q&amp;A time will be available at the end of the program. 
Presenter Samantha Gray has been with the US Army Corp of Engineers for 30 years and is a Park Ranger. She works at the Cape Cod Canal where she manages the Canal’s Interpretive Services and Outreach Program as well as the Canal Visitor Center. For her work she has been selected by USACE for multiple awards including regional “Interpreter of the Year” and the American Recreation Coalition’s “Legends Award”. She has a degree in Conservation of National Resources.

Space is limited. Please call the library at 508-362-3717 to reserve your spot.

Troy MacGillivray is from Lanark, a small community on the north-eastern shore of Nova Scotia. Troy’s commitment to music has spanned 30 years and includes both practical and academic accomplishments – most recently an M.A. in Ethnomusicology from the University of Limerick in Ireland. From as young as six years old, Troy was impressing audiences with step dancing and soon after, fiddle and piano skills. His roots-centered approach has the power to inspire audiences and comes from a family of proud Scottish heritage where fiddle playing and Gaelic traditions runs in the bloodline. His first paid gig was at 9 years old and was teaching by the age of 13 at the Gaelic College in St. Ann’s Cape Breton. Troy is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal for contributions to culture in Canada.~~~~~~~~

The vibrant musical traditions of Scotland and Cape Breton take on new life in the hands of fiddler Katie McNally (“Formidable”, The Boston Globe) and Neil Pearlman (“a tremendous pianist”, BBC Radio Scotland).
McNally and Pearlman have performed as a duo for over a decade, making their mark at legendary stages like Newport Folk Festival, playing to buoyant festival plazas in Spain and England, all while maintaining ties to home by leading monthly community sessions at the storied Canadian-American Club in Boston. 
Both were 2025 Shannon Artists-in-Residence at Beinn Mhàbu in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Inspired by artists and groups including&nbsp;Christy Moore, the Bothy Band, Dervish, and Lúnasa, they connect with audiences through music that is both deeply rooted in tradition and full of life.

Plymouth Public Library

Two Palestinian cousins hustle their way through the underbelly of Athens, clinging to the dream of reaching Germany. As their circumstances grow more desperate, they are forced to confront how far they’re willing to go for a chance at a different life. Raw, urgent, and deeply human, To A Land Unknown captures the moral cost of displacement and the relentless pull of hope.
Nominated for the TIFF People’s Choice Award for Best Film, Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Award, and the Gotham Independent Film Breakthrough Director Award, To A Land Unknown is a gripping new Palestinian film about survival, desperation, and the pursuit of freedom.
