Monday, May 18 - 6:30-7:45 PM
In celebration of America 250, Author Richard Stone will talk about his book, Project Mayflower. Project Mayflower recounts the never-before-told story of a grand adventure, from the origins of the idea, through the financial and political influences that nearly scuttled the ship, and the challenges of building an accurate replica. The Mayflower II—the replica of the 1620 ship that brought the Pilgrims to America and launched a nation—is seen by some 2.6 million visitors to Plymouth annually and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But there is much more to the replica’s story than meets the eye.

✨🐉 Thank you to everyone who celebrated the Lunar New Year with us at Cos Cob Library this past weekend!
🧧🐎We had a wonderful time welcoming the Year of the Horse with our community. A huge thank‑you to Jin Kim for sharing traditional Korean games and drumming, and to the Li Garden Dance Company for their vibrant and captivating performances—from dragon and sword dances to folk and classical pieces that filled the room with color and energy.
❤️We’re grateful to all the performers, organizers, attendees, and our dedicated staff who helped make these memorable celebrations happen! Happy Lunar New Year! ✨
