Memorial Day weekend is here, and all locations will be closed on Monday!
This month, the “Great Decisions” discussion series returns to the library, starting on Wednesday evening; read below for details! We have our weekly Master Gardeners and Falmouth Genealogical Society drop-ins, and our Book Bike will be at the Falmouth Farmers Market every Thursday all summer and early fall.
