The Wellfleet Public Library is much more than a collection of books, although the books there are truly wonderful. It is a central cultural institution of the town of Wellfleet and other parts of the Cape. It hosts concerts, lectures, art exhibits, and more, and has the happiest children’s book room you have ever seen. There is a conference room with 60 chairs, a P.A., and a first rate Steinway B piano.

I have played over a dozen concerts there over the last 20 years, and Marilyn had a major exhibition there a couple of years ago. Remnants of the exhibit still remain: little quotations that were taped to occasional bookshelves, and one or two book cubicles that have been turned over to works that she left with the librarian.

Some of Marilyn’s sculptures, a painting, and one of the quotations that remain on the shelves, two years later.

But the real treasure of the Library is Naomi Czekaj-Robbins, Assistant Library Director. She has enthusiastically and gracefully enabled everything we have done.

I am very excited to be playing another program in the Library on September 26: piano music of Brahms, Schubert, and Beethoven.
