In honor of Black History Month, the Rockport Public Library will feature a month-long exhibit entitled, A Scott Joplin Celebration! From Feb. 3 through 28, the public is invited to view original artwork, sketches, sketchbooks, book prototypes, sheet music, and more from acclaimed author/illustrator Stephen Costanza’s book King of Ragtime: The Story of Scott Joplin.

The material featured in the exhibit will explore the life of beloved African American composer Scott Joplin, whose joyful and irrepressible ragtime music paved the way for jazz.

On Saturday, Feb. 28, at 10:30 a.m., a Multimedia Family Show will complement the exhibit. Costanza will provide a dynamic, music-filled presentation that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the process for creating his book about Scott Joplin. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Stephen Costanza has written and illustrated numerous picture books, including Mozart Finds A Melody and the recent When Auggie Learned to Play Chess. His book King of Ragtime: The Story of Scott Joplin received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and Publisher’s Weekly, and was the recipient of the 2022 Golden Kite Award for illustration by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. He lives in North Haven, Maine.

The show opens with the first era of space exploration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We see what that era of landers and orbiters taught us about our nearest neighbor including the discovery of the Moon’s origin, composition, structure and the accessibility of raw materials on its surface.

Come walk Thorne Head Preserve in Bath as we get to know the character of this place in winter.

This is the fourth (and last!) walk, spaced throughout the year in each unique season, where we will all engage in observing and asking questions of our surroundings, and identifying the varied plants, shrubs, trees, ferns, and wildlife along the trail. Each season brings something new and spectacular to look at. The goal of these walks is to foster relationships with place through relationships with plants, and encourage further stewardship of our community spaces.
