Program Series at the Talbot County Free Library
There are many things that make the Eastern Shore of Maryland such a unique and beautiful place to live, and one of these things is the deep, local connection that our communities feel with the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams.
The Bay has been deeply tied to the community, culture and economy of the Eastern Shore for as long as people have called this place home. From the folks who have moved here in recent years to enjoy the beautiful landscape, to the people who work on the water every day, the Eastern Shore clearly depends on the Chesapeake Bay.
This November the Chesapeake Bay Foundation is partnering with the Talbot County Free Library to offer an exciting program series [apg1] that will help attendants learn more about the Chesapeake Bay and what we can do as citizens to help restore its health for the benefit of current and future generations. This program will also celebrate the unique heritage of the Eastern Shore and its connection to this important resource. Here is a complete list of the programs offered in the series. All are free and open to the public:
