Medford Community Read

March 5th, 2010
March and April are Medford Community Read months! This year’s Library-sponsored community read book is Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky. There are also three books for younger readers. This year’s Community Read events will deal with the history of New England fishing as well as the challenges facing marine ecology. The first program will take place on Thursday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Medford Public Library
We Are All Fishermen
A Lecture by Richard Adams Carey
George’s Bank and the inshore waters of New England were America’s first treasure chest, and Europe’s first clue to the vast natural wealth of the North American continent. There seemed to be no limit to the cod and other valuable species. The treasure replenished itself, over and over, and then it all went bust in the 1980s. Since then warring factions of fishermen, corporations, environmentalists, consumers, and politicians are still trying to figure out how to restore it. The success or failure of that effort is of huge import to us all.
Join Richard Adams Carey (Southern New Hampshire University) for the truth of why it went bust, a peek into the daily lives of real-life Cape Cod fishermen as they cope with the troubles of the industry, and a look ahead to what the future might hold.
This program is funded by the Medford Arts Council, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
