Please join Anne Parsons Marchant for Mary Oliver: The Provincetown Connection. This 1.5-2.0 hour virtual workshop will explore the poetry of Mary Oliver within the context of Mary’s beloved outer Cape Cod. We will virtually “visit” Provincetown MA which Mary called home for 50 years. We will use pictures and videos to “see” the homes in which Mary lived – all a stone’s throw from each other, and view for ourselves the beauty of the Blackwater Pond area in the Provincelands. Whether you are a brand new or long-standing fan, you are invited to join this in-depth exploration of the life and work of an American treasure.

Anne Parsons Marchant has long loved words!  A member of the Transformative Language Arts Network, she loves storytelling and transformation of all kinds.  Mary Oliver is her favorite poet.

In this noontime Authors @ the Library talk, Chris Zook will share stories from The Founder’s Mentality to show how any leader—not only a founder—can instill and leverage a founder's mentality throughout their organization and find lasting, profitable growth. A "founder's mentality" behavior, typically embodied by a bold, ambitious founder to restore speed, focus, and connection to customers, is even more important during uncertain times. Based on the decade-long study of companies in more than forty countries, Zook and his co-author James Allen have identified three traits in companies of all kinds—not just start-ups—and their ability to sustain performance. The Founder's Mentality can be borrowed from the collection of the Scarborough Public Library.
