Chase Library News and Notes

Hello, Friends!!

It’s Labor Day weekend and for Cape Codders this weekend is a joyous turn of the calendar. September is one of the most beautiful months, and this year is no exception. Hope you enjoy yourselves!!

We have so much to say about books in this newsletter. Let’s start with the quick info and then move on to the major announcements.

Thanks to all who helped with our fundraising book sales at Doane Park: to the Village Crafters of Cape Cod who not only offer us space but also generously donate a portion of the vendor fees; to those who supported us by donating books, or helped us get books to the park on sale day; and to those who manned the sale enabling lunch breaks. With your support, Chase Library netted just shy of $800!

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month and Wednesday, September 6, is National Read a Book Day. Stop by Chase on September 5 and peruse all our new books! Bring a friend who just might decide to become a Chase Library patron!

And now for the exciting news:

Join Us - Thursday, October 12, for a Unique Community Experience

As a library, Chase strives to bring talented authors to Harwich on a regular basis. Our author events are happily anticipated by our patrons and are pivotal to raising funds that help meet operating expenses.

The Harwich Woman’s Club strives to support non-profits in Harwich and surrounding communities. Each year they support new and different projects. This year they are supporting Chase Library by offering a donation, their meeting space, and a lovely tea planned by their members.

Below the Brine Bookshop was opened in 2021 by Kristen Young, who wanted to offer a bright and happy local book store. All of the store’s tables and shelving were handmade by Kristen's husband using wood he reclaimed while remodeling their antique Harwich Port home.

Please support Chase Library, the Harwich Woman’s Club, and Below the Brine Bookshop by joining us for an intriguing conversation with author Julie Gerstenblatt on Thursday, October 12. Details follow:
