A HISTORICAL NOTE

Did you know that the 15th Century stone carving currently hanging over the mantle in our reading room was a gift from the Salisbury Cathedral in England? It can be seen in this historic photograph of the library's reading room.

Lucy by the Sea by Elizabeth Strout

As a panicked world goes into lockdown, Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again, off-again friend, William. For the next several months, it’s just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the moody, swirling sea. Rich with empathy and emotion, the novel vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace, and possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire.
