“Sky View”
Join us at the Malden Public Library for a presentation of aerial photographs by Joseph Turner.
This photography presentation offers images from a unique point of view – the “Sky View.” We are accustomed to viewing buildings, historic sites and colorful venues by looking at them straight ahead. What if you could see those same familiar sites from above, from a Sky View?
The presentation includes aerial photographs of historic buildings, houses of worship, parks, light houses, and other colorful sites. The presentation is compelling because most have never seen views like this before, from an aerial photographer’s viewpoint.
The program demystifies the use of drones, illustrates the variety of drone uses in the public sector and highlights FAA’s emphasis on safety.
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?”
Not Rated. (56 min.) (2024)

Please join us for Movie Night on Wednesday, May 6, 2026: 6:00-8:00pm at the Malden Public Library. We will be showing the movie for Haitian Heritage Month about Mountains.

“A Haitian demolition worker is faced with the realities of redevelopment as he is tasked with dismantling his rapidly gentrifying neighborhood [in Little Haiti, Miami].” The film explores the changing nature of neighborhoods and how communities change over time. In the Haitian Creole language there is a proverb: “Dèyè mòn gen mòn” which means, “Behind mountains there are mountains.” This is a famous Haitian proverb that roughly means when you overcome one obstacle, there is another greater obstacle or challenge ahead of you. This Haitian proverb speaks to the idea of having resilience in life.
Not Rated (95 min.) (2024) This film is in English and Haitian Creole.

Free snacks will be provided. Movie times are approximate.
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.
Young Adults and Teens are invited to explore the hostile regions of space!
