Saturday, November 18th at noon
Join us for a special program about the Kennedy Assassination presented by historian
Christopher Daley.
November 22nd, 1963, a date that will live on in our
collective memory with other ignominious dates such as December 7th,
1941 and September 11th, 2001. It is the date on which a young
president with so much potential had his life snuffed out within the span of a
few seconds - an act that shocked a nation that didn’t think things like that
happened in America. On that day The United States of America was changed
forever.
Relive that tragic day in vivid detail through the use of witness statements,
photographs, diagrams and the famous Zapruder Film. The main theories about the assassination will be summarized, and reasons for
and against will be presented. At the conclusion of the lecture, a forum for
discussion will be opened so that the audience may express their views and
theories on what happened on November 22nd, 1963.
Christopher Daley has been lecturing all over New England
for over 25 years on historical topics of interest at libraries, historical
societies, schools and all sorts of clubs and organizations. Mr. Daley is
currently a history teacher in the Silver Lake Regional School System in
Kingston Massachusetts. He holds a B.A. and a M.A. from Bridgewater State
University in Political Science and History.
The library will be closed on Saturday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
We will be open on Friday, November 10th.
Artist's Reception Friday, November 3rd 12:30-1:30
We will be featuring the artwork of local artist Diane F. Henn in our meeting room throughout the month of November. Join us for an Artist's Reception on Friday, November 3rd from 12:30-1:30 to meet the artist and enjoy her art. All are welcome.
For as long as she can remember, Diane Henn has always identified as an artist. One of her earliest recollections is of exhibiting her childlike watercolors alongside her dad's artwork at an event in her native New Jersey. She received formal art instruction in a variety of mediums through specialized school programs. Diane's art training continued in her college years, including work on a community mural partnership project.
In 2015, Diane was introduced to pastel painting through a Maichack Arts workshop at Dennis Public Library. She has taken at least one pastel workshop every year since and continues to explore this exciting medium.
