Artist Leslie Altman, watercolorist, will display her paintings in the library's meeting room for the month of February. Ms. Altman has exhibited in many local galleries, and her work can be found in homes across the country.
Leslie began painting more than 10 years ago at the suggestion of a friend, and she immediately fell in love with watercolor. She works in a studio in Yarmouth Port and en plein. Her landscapes attempt to capture feeling through color and light. Her subjects include Cape scenes, as well as landscapes from travel abroad and closer to home.

Register for this live virtual tour of the Slavery and Reconstruction exhibit at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A museum educator will lead us through their exhibit, Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality. Learn how constitutional clashes over slavery set the stage for the Civil War, and how the nation transformed the Constitution after the war during the Reconstruction period, taking a particularly close look at the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Along the way, our guide will highlight the stories of people like Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, and other figures central to the conflict over slavery. We will also get an up-close look at special artifacts on display, including original copies of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, Dred Scott's signed petition for freedom, a fragment of the flag that Abraham Lincoln raised at Independence Hall, a commemorative copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, and more!
