Program Description

Event Details

The library and the Whaling Museum are partnering to offer a new theme-based book club called “Beyond the Book with the Whaling Museum." Read the chosen title and then visit the museum for an educator-led book club meeting that dives deeper into the text through connections with items from their collection. Receive a brief video with a discussion question and highlight from the museum's collection relating to the text. Enjoy coffee and cookies while we chat. February will feature Whaling Captains of Color: America’s First Meritocracy by Skip Finley, a fascinating look into the lesser-known lives of African-American whaling captains. 

Multiple copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk. The book discussion will be held at the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, 279 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor.
