Performance by Improbable Players
Malden Public Library
  A free performance of "I'll Never Do That", a theatrical retelling of one family's struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. "I'll Never Do That" is the original play presented by Improbable Players upon being founded as a non profit 35 years ago and is as humorous, heartbreaking, and relevant as it was then.
  Our actors are all in recovery, and will discuss how events in their own lives influence their acting with Improbable Players in a Q&A to follow the performance.

Malden Shoe Factory Workers
6:30 PM
Malden Public Library
  On Monday, September 9th at 6:30 p.m., join us for “Heart and Sole: The Lives of Malden Factory Workers,” presented by local historian Dee Morris. From 1853 into the 20th century, the Boston Rubber Shoe Company brought increasing prosperity to Malden. This community of employees ranged from highly-skilled boot makers to laborers. Shippers and teamsters maintained the flow while office personnel kept track of everything else. Siblings worked here as did women, newcomers from Ireland and a teenager named Alvan T. Fuller, who would later become Governor of Massachusetts. Join us for a tribute to their meaningful lives. Dee Morris is an independent scholar and educational consultant specializing in 19th-century history of Greater Boston. She presents walking tours at Forest Hills Cemetery and programs at libraries, schools, and historical societies. Her goal is to connect people with their civic ancestors.
 All Lectures will be held at the Malden Public Library, 36 Salem Street, MA. For more information, contact the Library at 781-324-0218 or visit their website at www.maldenpubliclibrary.org.  These lectures are part of Go Local: Converse 2020, an ongoing series celebrating the life and philanthropic contributions of Malden’s first mayor Elisha Slade Converse and the industrial history of Malden.

Join us at the Malden Public Library for a talk with Joseph Bebo, author of Alex A Lesson in Courage. This is a true story about a Malden boy with special needs named Alex, as told by his parents, his teachers, coaches, friends, neighbors, a high school principal, and the mayor of a city. It demonstrates how inclusion can change not only the life of someone with special needs, but the lives of everyone involved. It’s a story about courage, acceptance, and overcoming adversity. Alex’s story is a story of hope, of how love turned a seeming tragedy into a wondrous joy. This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
