Why does the popularity of Sherlock Holmes endure? The multitude of recent Holmes inspired movies, television shows, and literary adaptations are proof the Great Detective is alive and well in the 21st century. Dr. Ann McClellan, PhD, explores the origins of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective and tracks his incarnation in the literature, film, advertising, and modern media in order to crack the case of the most popular detective. Presented by the Whitman Public Library.

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND the StoryWalk has been extended until Monday, March 1st. Enjoy! The Dennis Libraries are joining together to present a
StoryWalk®. Head over to Johnny
Kelley Park for a refreshing stroll in the clear air and read Snow by author Cynthia Rylant, beautifully
illustrated by Lauren Stringer. The walk begins across from the playground.
Follow the story panels along to the right, where they are affixed to the posts
for the park’s Braille Trail. We hope readers of all ages enjoy the book and,
if you like, take time for a little play nearby.
The StoryWalk® concept
was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier,
VT, and developed with the help
of Rachel Senechal of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. The Dennis Libraries thank
these two innovative women, along with the Recreation Department and the
Department of Public Works for the Town of Dennis, for making this event possible.
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) would love to know how much you love your library. Express your feelings in a valentine uploaded at:
https://www.lovemasslibraries.com/We think you are pretty spectacular, too.
The Love Letters for the Library site is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
