Join us for a celebration of the 200th birthday of Elisha Slade Converse, the first Mayor of Malden, president of the Boston Rubber Shoe Co., and major benefactor to many organizations in the City of Malden. We invite you celebrate Elisha’s 200th birthday with family and friends on Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 p.m. via zoom. A link to the zoom meeting will be posted on the library’s calendar page one hour prior to the event at https://maldenpubliclibrary.org/browse-mpl/events-programs/
Born in 1820, Elisha Slade and Mary Diana Edmands Converse were the largest benefactors of many of Malden’s most important institutions, including the Malden Public Library (Converse Memorial Building), Pine Banks Park, Fellsmere Pond and Park, the Malden YMCA, the First Baptist Church, the Malden Hospital, the Malden Home for the Aged Persons, the Malden Auditorium, Malden Associated Charities, Malden Industrial Aid Society and the Malden Day Nursery, and many other community organizations. In 1853, Elisha founded the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, which was Malden’s largest employer and the world’s largest producer of fine rubber boots, shoes, and overshoes.
Due to the pandemic, “Converse 2020,” a community-wide celebration and exhibition has been delayed until June 2021.

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ~ Neil Gaiman* Coraline
The pandemic has presented us with new challenges and exacerbated old ones. Folk and fairy tales do not merely entertain us, but teach and remind us that we can conquer whatever we face and help quell our fears and anxieties. As we are faced with new obstacles we also need new fairy tales. On these summer Fridays, we will be sharing a combination of old and new folk and fairy tales to aid our community in overcoming the challenges we face today.
