Along with upcoming program information, we will note at least one service the Library offers. Please visit us in person at 232 Middle Road, Acushnet or online at www.acupl.org for even more. Happy Reading! Did you know? The Library has tax forms. Currently, you can find Massachusetts Resident and Non-Resident booklets with forms at the Library. We've also received the 1040EZ form and expect to have more federal forms but aren't sure when they'll be arriving. Forms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Master Thieves
Wednesday, February 21st, 6pm
The Community Room
Join us as we welcome Pulitzer prize winning author Stephen Kurkjian to share one of the most complete and compelling versions of this story ever told! Nearly 28 years ago, thieves broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole thirteen artworks valued at up to $500 million. The artworks have never been found and the theft is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries. Kurkjian, one of the top investigative reporters in the country, has been working this case ever since. His book Master Thieves: The Boston Gangsters Who Pulled off the World's Greatest Art Heist reveals the identities of those involved, the motive for the crime and new details. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Afternoon Movie
Wednesday, February 21st, 2pm
The Community Room
We will be showing the movie Wonder in honor of vacation week! Wonder is based on the best-selling children's book by R.J. Palacio and is the story of ten-year-old Auggie Pullman, who was born with extreme facial abnormalities and was not expected to survive. He goes from being home-schooled to entering fifth grade at a private middle school in Manhattan, which entails enduring the taunting and fear of his classmates as he struggles to be seen as just another student. Wonder is rated PG for thematic elements including bullying and some mild language. Please bring your own snacks and join us!

Chappaquiddick Tragedy
Monday, March 5th, 6pm
The Community Room
Join us in welcoming Don Nelson as he presents Chappaquiddick Tragedy: Kennedy's Second Passenger Revealed. Nelson, a retired research scientist, explored all the original records of the infamous 1969 Chappaquiddick accident to determine whether an alternate account of the happening was supported by forensic evidence. His “Aha!” moment came when he understood confirming inquest testimony of one witness - never understood by previous investigators! This is his account of the tragedy. Books will be available for purchase and signing. This program has been generously funded by the Friends of the Acushnet Public Library.
