Olivia Laughlin Booktalk

The Size of Mars is Laughlin’s debut collection that navigates through her journey of heartbreak, trauma, and self reclamation. She pairs her artwork with her poetry to fully immerse the reader into her world. Her hope is that her art has long enough arms to reach those who need to be held, and her poetry to have a loud enough voice to guide us home to ourselves.

Earth Day Awareness Film: “We’re All Plastic People Now”

Please join us for a special showing of the documentary, “We’re All Plastic People Now” on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 6:00-7:30pm at the Malden Public Library. A short discussion and Q&A with Eileen Ryan, from Beyond Plastics Greater Boston will follow the film.

“In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. Plastics have been found inside our bodies- in our colons, our brains, and even in mothers’ developing wombs. Scientists around the country are sounding the alarm, but without public buy-in, there is little that can be done. How much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?”
