Local Author Talk with Steve Shuman

Wednesday, June 25 at 11:00 a.m. (IN-PERSON)

At the Place Between is a contemporary novel: part love story; part murder mystery; part courtroom drama – all set in and around the waters off Cape Cod and Block Island.

In his story, Steve Shuman captures the essence of what it means to be human, a story that reminds us that life is not just a destination but rather the experiences within that  life that shape who we are.

This local author talk will be held in Community Rooms AB.

A book sale and signing will follow the presentation. Copies of At the Place Between will be available for purchase.

Artist of the Month: Nahid Reed

June 2025

Nahid Reed was originally trained in studio art, but spent her career in advertising and graphic design.

After retiring in 2018, she started painting in watercolor for the first time. Despite its many challenges, watercolor proved to be her favorite mode of expression.

She enjoys creating landscapes, seascapes and loose florals.

Nahid’s art will be on display in the front lobby for the month of June, with select pieces available for purchase.
A portion of proceeds benefit the library.
