Kick-off Event at
the Cultural Center of Cape Cod:
The Island of Worthy Boys

by Connie Hertzberg Mayo
Sunday March 31, 2:00 p.m.
The Cultural Center of Cape Cod
This year’s fiction selection for Yarmouth Reads 2019 is a story of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Boston when young boys grew up too fast and sometimes needed shelter from the law and from society. At this year’s kick-off event, meet author Connie Hertzberg Mayo and get some questions answered. Books are available on loan from the Library – and will be made available for sale at a discounted price. See you at the Kick-off! Join us this Sunday to learn more about The Island of Worthy Boys.
 
Book Donations Appreciated: At each Yarmouth Reads 2019 event, we will be collecting new or like-new children's books (ages 4-15) for Katelynn's Closet. Thank you in advance for your donations to this worthy cause.
