Matriarchal Strength with Rachael Devaney

Thursday, January 27 from 5:00 - 6:30pm

Local writer and photographer, Rachael Devaney, will present her work entitled "Matriarchal Strength".

Devaney, who was adopted from El Salvador in 1978 and grew up in Centerville, will speak about her reunification with her birth family after 40 years and her direct experience with one of the most pressing issues of our time: immigration and cultural identity. Her exhibit tells an iconically American story of immigration, struggle, and triumph.

This is a free in-person event in our Community Rooms. Registration recommended. Click here to register for Matriarchal Strength!

Masks Now REQUIRED at CPL

Due to the recent surge in COVID cases in Barnstable County, Centerville Public Library is requiring that all visitors to the library wear a mask during their visit.

Masks will be available at the front desk for anyone (adult or child) who needs one. If you are unable to wear a mask, we will make reasonable accommodations to serve you. Please call (508) 790-6220 to arrange for curbside service.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
