First held by the library in October 2019, it was the first time the concept was made available to residents of Cape Cod. “The Human Library” creates dialogue and understanding between people in an effort to dispel discrimination in its many forms.
How does it work? Patrons check out a human book - a person - and "read" their story via a one on one conversation hosted at the library. Areas of experience shared by so called "human books" include, but are not limited to issues surrounding ethnicity, religion, social status, health, occupation, and lifestyle.
The Human Library has met with great success as a community resource across Europe and is available at only a handful of locations in the United States. The Osterville Village Library is both proud and privileged to be able to host such an extraordinary event a second time.
Join us July 15th under the tent on the Calvin C. Gould Library Green. Interested in being considered for a book? Fill out this survey. For inquiries, contact the Osterville Village Library at 508 428 5757 or visit ostervillevillagelibrary.org. For more on the Human Library visit their website.

A Skinner "What's it Worth" event is coming to Osterville this summer!
"What's It Worth?" Have you ever held a family heirloom in your hand and asked the same question? Or perhaps you've pondered the value of a fascinating curio you picked up at a Cape Cod antique store. Announcing an exciting event scheduled to take place at the Osterville Village Library, Wednesday, July 20th from 3:00pm to 5:30pm under the tent on the Calvin C. Gould Library Green. Skinner Auctioneers and Appraisers provide an entertaining and educational way for people interested in the history and value of antiques to come together for a fun filled afternoon. In addition, you just might discover you're in possession of a rare antique that has value beyond the sentimental. Participants receive verbal information and appraisal values from a Skinner expert appraiser, who discusses each item presented for appraisal in front of a seated audience. Stay tuned for further details. Proceeds from this event benefit the Osterville Village Library. We thank you for your support!

Protecting the Planet
Art by Edith Vonnegut
On display at the Osterville Village Library
beginning April 1st thru May 26th
|
|
The Osterville Village Library is proud to present "Protecting the Planet," a unique collection of art on display during the months of April and May. Spaciously hung throughout the library's "Fireplace and History Rooms" beginning April 1st. Vonnegut's painting style juxtaposes heavenly beings alongside heroic women, all the while glorifying mundane activities. Her depiction of the female form is frank, at once romantic, but also engendering a modern influence. The commentary contained in Vonnegut's imagery leaves a powerful impression. Her work has been displayed in galleries across the country to critical acclaim. Like her father, esteemed author Kurt Vonnegut, Edith has published several books, also serving as contributing illustrator to the New York Times Op Ed page. Born and raised in Barnstable, Edith once again calls Cape Cod home. OVL is pleased to welcome the next generation of the Vonnegut family to the library. |
