Looking for Connection, Community & Conversation?

Join our new LGBTQIA+ Social Group!

If you’re an LGBTQIA+ adult looking to connect with others in a welcoming, inclusive space—you’re not alone. And now, there’s a new way to find that connection right here at the library.

We’re excited to launch a brand-new LGBTQIA+ Social Group for adults (18+) in our community.  Whether you’re new in town, rediscovering your identity, or simply looking to meet like-minded folks, this group is here to offer space for friendship, support, and fun.

Libraries have long been a place for community, learning, and belonging. With this new LGBTQIA+ group, we’re proud to support our community’s diversity and help foster meaningful, real-world connections beyond the bookshelves.

This group will start with a single event, but we hope—with your support and interest—it will grow into a regular, ongoing series of meetups.

Registration is not required, but please feel free to give us a call or send us an email if you have any questions: 508-457-2555/info@falmouthpubliclibrary.org

Join us on Saturday, November 15th at 2:00 PM for a special screening of Unerased: Asian Voices of Cape Cod, a powerful short documentary created by Belonging Books and Big Tree that amplifies the voices and experiences of Asian Cape Codders.

Following the screening, stay for a live talkback discussion featuring individuals from the film and Erica Tso Haidas, one of the film’s producers and the owner of Belonging Books, a local bookstore dedicated to diverse stories and authors. This is a unique opportunity to engage in conversation, ask questions, and reflect on how we build inclusive communities here on Cape Cod.

The program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended and may be completed through the library’s events calendar at falmouthpubliclibrary.org.
