The Power of the Protest Song We are excited to welcome Pamela Means for a concert at the Falmouth Public Library on Wednesday, May 10th from 6pm-7:30pm in the Hermann room! Registration is required. Equal parts performance and mini-presentation, this family-friendly concert will explore the origin stories and lineages of protest songs, how their meanings and effects continue to transform through time and space, and how they continue to inspire movements and cultural shifts within the realms of racial and social justice. Pamela will perform an assortment of original songs and select, recognizable covers to show how grounding, unifying, and mobilizing protest songs can be, and share her own journey as a biracial, queer, feminist, political songwriter. This concert is free to the public and is supported in part by a grant from Falmouth Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

"With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change."

Catwoman: Lonely City by Cliff Chiang"Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools' Night claimed the lives of Batman, the Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon...and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up-it's put away costumed heroism and villainyas childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer...and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It's into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman...with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn't need the money-she just needs to know...who is "Orpheus"? Visionary creator Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Paper Girls) writes, draws, colors, and letters the story of a world without Batman, where one woman's wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city!"
