Join us for a special storytime Friday, August 21 at 11 a.m. at the library, featuring the recently released title <a href="https://library.clamsnet.org/Record/632101?searchId=38337185&amp;recordIndex=7&amp;page=1&amp;referred=resultIndex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Outermost Mouse </a>by Cape author <a href="https://laurenwolk.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lauren Wolk</a> (illustrated by Kristen Adam), followed by a book signing and sale in partnership with <a href="https://www.eightcousins.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eight Cousins Bookstore</a>.&nbsp;This event was rescheduled from June 19.
The Outermost Mouse loves her life at the tip of the beach. She has blue sky above and sand as warm and soft as her mother below. Best of all is the house, a huge nest she has made her own. There are jam-jar posies, lanterns full of gold, and a clock that tick-tocks her to sleep at night. But a storm is coming. When the sky goes dark and a cold wind rises, the little mouse must do everything she can to protect her home. Even though she’s small enough to fit into a teacup, the Outermost Mouse is smart, strong, and brave—and ready to face the wild waves.

How the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church was Built in 1890
August 24, 2026, at 2 p.m.
Mark your calendars for Monday, August 24, 2026, at 2 p.m., in the Cultural Center at the Museums on the Green – Falmouth Historical Society, for a most interesting lecture by Richie and Mary Ellen Williams. Former residents of West Falmouth, during the tenure of the late Rev. Robert B. Appleyard, Jr., they always wondered about how such a beautiful, steepled stone church, with many equally beautiful stained-glass windows could have been designed, built, and consecrated in 1890! Three important factors rank highly in the history of the church: The first and foremost, was the genius of the British-American architect, Henry Vaughan; the second was the completion of the extension of the Old Colony Railroad from Sagamore to Woods Hole; and the third was the ample funding provided by the Beebe Family.
Come and hear about the details of how all three factors intertwined to be able to build St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Falmouth.
Two booklets on the two topics by the Williamses are available for purchase at the store for $20 each.
Free, donations welcome! Please register in advance.

Join us for an evening with Jonathan Harley, a former <a href="https://www.chapoquoityachtclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Chapoquoit Yacht Club</a> commodore—the youngest ever—and the former head of the US Olympic Sailing Team for 25 years when his teams won 29 medals. This event is Friday, August 28 at 5 p.m. Free and open to all.
On this evening, the last in our summer speaker series co-hosted by the library and CYC, Harley will recount an early adventure at sea: his 366-day trip in 1972 from New Bedford to Tahiti and back aboard the 50′ ketch Diogenes. Harley’s photographs of Tahiti and the Galapagos pre-date the boom in tourism and bring to life his experiences on the high seas.
Harley has served as head coach of sailing teams at numerous schools, colleges and yacht clubs, including Providence College, Portsmouth Abbey School and Duxbury Yacht Club, among others. He headed for seven years the sailing training program at the Mystic Seaport Museum. He spent his early years teaching sailing at CYC on Chapoquoit Island, where his family has had a home for decades. He has served several stints running the CYC sailing program.
