International Film Series presents Japanese Film, Shoplifters,

Our international film series, Big World, Big Screen, features a rich variety of cinema on display at the
library all summer. Join us for almost four months of compelling international films, most of them newly
released, with a few classics thrown into the flavorful mix. These films are for adults only.

Our series continues at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26, with Shoplifters. Masterful filmmaking from
director Hirokazu Koreeda yields a deeply humane look at the fringes of society. (Japan, 2018)

Interested in Learning Guitar?
Check Out an Instrument from the Library

If you’re interested in learning to play the guitar, we have a new program for you – guitars here at the library
that you can check out just like books. (Well, almost like books – there’s a bit more paperwork involved.)
Current CLAMS cardholders in good standing may check out an instrument for two weeks. Borrowers under
16 must have a parent or guardian present to check out an instrument. Visit the library’s front desk
for more information.

Library Is Collection Site for Recycling Program
Supporting the League of Women Voters

The Edgartown Library's south vestibule entrance now has a new container for recycling items being
collected by the Martha's Vineyard League of Women Voters. Working with Planet Green Recycle, the LWV
is collecting a variety of printer cartridges and other small electronics to be recycled (and to raise money for
the League). Items being accepted here at the library include inkjet cartridges and such small electronics as
cell phones, pagers and accessories; digital cameras; gps devices and radar detectors; smart watches;
calculators; eBook readers and music devices (iPods and MP3 players); and video game devices. Just save
these items and drop them off at your next visit to the library.
