with Mallory MortillaroTuesday, December 14, at 6:30 PM on ZOOM
Hear the story of Mallory Mortillaro's journey to authenticate a marble bust of Napoleon sculpted by Auguste Rodin, which sat in a New Jersey town hall for almost 80 years. Mallory will recount the story of being hired straight out of college for a part-time art cataloging project and how it morphed into a search for this mysterious piece's provenance, eventually culminating in its authentication by the world's leading Rodin expert.

Yarmouth Town Libraries
are now FINE FREE!In keeping with the nationwide trend to remove barriers of entry to our public libraries, the Yarmouth Town Libraries have gone fine free. From now on, you will be able to check items out and return them when they are due – but, if you are late in returning materials, there will not be a daily fine for these items. Bring back your items as soon as you remember they need to be returned, and we’ll check them in with no late fines. Please note that replacement costs for lost or damaged items will still be charged. Questions? Ask any staff member. We thank the Yarmouth Select Board for their consideration and approval of this policy change. |
