International Film Series presents Greek Film, Chevalier,
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 19

Our international film series, Big World, Big Screen, features a rich variety of cinema on display at the
library all summer. Join us for almost four months of compelling international films, most of them newly
released, with a few classics thrown into the flavorful mix. These films are for adults only.

Our series continues at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 19, with Chevalier. A whole lotta testosterone on one
luxury yacht brings the male dynamic into sharp focus in this raffish entertainment about a fishing trip.
Directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari. (Greece, 2016)

Interested in Learning Guitar?
Check Out an Instrument from the Library

If you’re interested in learning to play the guitar, we have a new program for you – guitars here at the library
that you can check out just like books. (Well, almost like books – there’s a bit more paperwork involved.)
Current CLAMS cardholders in good standing may check out an instrument for two weeks. Borrowers under
16 must have a parent or guardian present to check out an instrument. Visit the library’s front desk
for more information.

The Edgartown Library's south vestibule entrance now has a new container for recycling items being

the League). Items being accepted here at the library include inkjet cartridges and such small electronics as
cell phones, pagers and accessories; digital cameras; gps devices and radar detectors; smart watches;
calculators; eBook readers and music devices (iPods and MP3 players); and video game devices. Just save
these items and drop them off at your next visit to the library.
