La biblioteca estará CERRADA el lunes 11 de noviembre de 2024, en conmemoración del Día de los Veteranos.
Dive into your next read with The Whaling Museum’s “Beyond the Book” Club. This month's selection is Jaws by Peter Benchley.
More than a book club, we hand select texts that explore stories and history related to the museum’s collection for a truly unique experience. Look up-close at artifacts that enhance discussions around the monthly read. Participants may read up on a related topic to join the conversation. Enjoy light snacks and drinks while you chat. Beyond the Book will meet at The Whaling Museum & Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor, located at 301 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724.
Jaws by Peter Benchley: Just in time for Memorial Day, join us to confront one of literature's most iconic villains. We’ll follow Brody and Quint as they pursue the monstrous shark through the waters off Long Island (yes, Long Island!) and explore the curious parallels between their expedition and that of Melville’s Captain Ahab. Explore shark bones and fossils from our collections and learn about the many shark species that call Long Island home - and how unlikely it is that you’ll ever receive a bite. We promise, after this session, you’ll have no problem getting back into the water.
