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

His set will include songs from Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Bonnie Raitt, Jim Croce, Billy Joel, and many more. He will also present songs composed by lesser known artists. Preluding each piece will be biographical facts and anecdotes about the artists and their songs. In addition, he will also share several original compositions.

Michael Shea is a professional guitarist, singer and songwriter who has performed for four decades at numerous venues, including Bridgewater State College, the Black Thorn Tavern, The South Shore Folk Music Club, the Spire Center for the Performing Arts, and the annual Falmouth Arts Alive Festival.
