Scituate Arts Association Presents:
"When the Sky Breathes" 
September 16th - November 11th
Works by Cathy McCarthy & Peggy Roth Major
 
"When the Sky Breathes” is a contemplative exhibition by painter Cathy McCarthy and photographer Peggy Roth Major that presents the sky as a living presence — constantly shifting, gathering, and releasing across water, land, and horizon. Through quiet, atmospheric images, their work explores moments of stillness and change, inviting viewers to pause and notice the subtle poetry of the clouds and sky above us.
 
 
“I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
 
from up and down and still somehow
 
its clouds illusions I recall
 
I really don’t know clouds at all.” ~Joni Mitchell
 
 
FIND YOUR NEXT READ!
Not sure what to read next?  Library staff is here for you! 
 
If you've been a long-time reader of our newsletter, you've probably seen the "staff picks" section of suggestions at the bottom. But did you know there are lots of other ways to discover your next great read with the help of library staff and library services? Here are a few ideas for you!
 
Ask a Librarian! We are always happy to help you find a great book to read. We are available to chat with you about what you've recently read that you've liked and then match you up with some selections we think you'll enjoy! Just ask at the circulation desk and we will be happy to assist. 
 
Follow us on Facebook! to get multiple reading lists a week! These book lists are thoughtfully curated by Scituate Town Library staff.
 
Request a BookMatch or a Book Bundle/Pack. The Library staff created two services for patrons who would like some help selecting their next great book. BookMatch is available for kids and adults and involves filling out a quick questionnaire about your reading habits. Staff then sends you back a list of titles we think you might like!  If you'd like to be surprised by a bag of books to borrow, you can fill out the Book Bundle (kids) or Book Pack  (adults) request forms. We'll put titles in a bag for you to pick up! This is a great option if you're in a hurry and want a grab & go experience. 
 
And for teens, we have two services: Books & Bites-- which is a bag with books and snacks; and Book & Movie Night bag. Pick from our selection of book-to-movie adaptation bundles and we'll package up for you a book, movie, and a movie night snack pack.
 
Have you tried Novelist? NoveList is a powerhouse of a database designed for readers and built by librarians!  With NoveList you can really fine tune your reading selections, especially if you enjoy specific genres and subgenres. Try NoveList in order to:
  • Search for items with just about any search parameters you can think of
  • Find reading lists and articles created by NoveList's staff of professional librarians

Heart the Lover by Lily King
Heart the Lover
by Lily King

Our narrator understands good love stories--their secrets and subtext, their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules. In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. Soon she finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever. Decades later, the vulnerable days of Jordan's youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news bring the past crashing into the present, she returns to a world she left behind and must confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.
