Irish Harpist Mairead Doherty

Saturday, March 4th at 12:00pm

Irish Harpist Mairead Doherty will return to Dennis Public Library for a concert of Irish Music. She will be joined by Vocalist Fr. John Dolan and Flutists Susan Lindsay and William Miner. This concert, inspired by nature, will include some old favorites along with some of the lesser known classics of the Irish Music repertoire. Ms. Doherty is an annual favorite at Dennis Public Library and we are excited to have her back again this year.

We hope you join us for this family friendly concert.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Dennis Arts and Culture Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Author Talk: Antarctic Suite Summertime

Saturday, February 25th at 12:30pm

Join us for a talk with local Dennis author Rosemary Dunn Moeller about her book Antarctic Suite Summertime. On a trip to Antarctica she became immersed in the beauty and fragility of the coldest, least populated continent on earth. She saw glaciers, whales, penguins, predators, and cerulean landscapes. She boarded little boats to go ashore to hike, breathed the purest air, and was sprayed by the coldest waters that summertime has to offer. 

If you are thinking about making a trip to Antarctica yourself or simply dream of someday experiencing the beauty of vast oceans, wandering whales, pelagic birds, and majestic views, you won’t want to miss this talk.

Spring Means More Birds!

Saturday, February 18th at 12:30pm

***Please note the date of this program is Saturday, 2/18. A few of our local newspapers were given the wrong date for this program. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience.***

Although it might not feel like it, spring is right around the corner. For us that means bird arrivals from South and Central America and the Gulf states. Bird populations on the Cape increase from about ninety species to over 300. Bird migration is one of those mysteries of the natural world that requires some explaining. Join Philip Kyle for a discussion of bird migration with examples of the avian  visitors, resting refuelers and feathered residents of Cape Cod.

Philip Kyle has been a past president of the Cape Cod Bird Club, pens a column on birding for the Cape Cod Times newspaper, taught biology at Barnstable High School, was an Interpretive Park Ranger at the Cape Cod National Seashore, the Head Naturalist at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Education Director for the South Shore Natural Science Center and has actively birded for more than 40 years. Who better to unpack this tricky and interesting topic?
