Memorial Day Closure
The Topsfield Library will be CLOSED from Saturday, May 27th through Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day weekend. We will resume normal hours on Tuesday, May 30th.

Save the Date!
Meg Black, PhD, will be giving an art lecture on the history of the flag in American art!

The flag has been a poignant symbol for artists across the centuries. For many, it has been a way of rousing national pride and speaking to the country's resistance in the face of adversity. For many others, it has been a means of critiquing the nation during times of war and a way of pointing out longstanding histories of colonialism, racism, sexism, and homophobia that are still unfolding.

In celebration of Flag Day, during this one hour lecture, we will examine how artists have used, included, and celebrated the flag throughout history, with a focus on American art.

This event will be held in-person in the Topsfield Library Activity Room on Monday, June 12th, at 7pm. No registration is required.
