Annual Plant Sale
The annual Plant Sale will take place on the lawn at the Woods Hole Library on Saturday morning, May 19, from 9 AM to Noon, rain or shine. Shoppers are encouraged to come promptly for the best selection of perennials, vegetables, herbs and flowers, all grown locally.
Local gardeners, such as Helen Reuter (photo above) have been digging up their successful perennials and robust self-seeding annuals in the weeks before the sale to provide healthy potted plants for sale to the public. Others, including the librarians, are growing plants from seeds. In fact, the library director has been specializing in heirloom tomatoes which are growing on the Library’s wide sunny window-sills in the main reading room.
All proceeds from the sale will help fund the Library's ongoing programs. For more information , call the Library at 508-548-8961.

Aldo de Vero A native of Italy, Aldo de Vero studied piano at the S. Pietro a Majella Conservatory and Accademia Chigiana with renowned pianist Bruno Canino. He has become a dedicated advocate of contemporary music and in particular of American Composers and performed music by Cage, Crumb, Feldman, Cowell, Barber and Nancarrow in recital and with the Appalachian Ensemble many times, a highlight being a concert of Three Quarter Tone Pieces" by Charles Ives for the 1994 G7 summit in Naples.

Bryan has been attending the Ischia Chamber Music Workshop on the island of Ischia in Italy. He returns to Montague and summers at a cottage in North Grey Dunes with family.

Reading by author Carol Scott-Conner
Author Carol Scott-Conner will give a reading from her recently released short story collection A Few Small Moments. Dr. Scott-Conner, a senior surgeon at the University of Iowa Medical Center, is a regular Woods Hole summer visitor. She and her husband come to Woods Hole in August to attend lectures, relax, and write. One of the stories in this beautifully written collection actually begins over a meal at the Captain Kidd. Another, “Evening Rounds,” was featured at our March Story Hour for Grownups to an audience visibly moved by the story. It takes place in a hospital setting as a tired surgeon stops to see her last patient of the day before heading home. “This particular patient was a visually-impaired deaf mute woman who made and sold earthenware pottery….”
Dr. Scott-Conner will have copies of her book available for sale at the reading. She has generously offered to donate the proceeds to the Library.
