Library Closed: October 12, 2026
The Saugus Public Library will be closed all day on Monday, October 12th, 2026 in observance of Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day
We will reopen at 9 am on Tuesday, October 13th.
Start Watching!
The Saugus Public Library now offers Kanopy to its cardholders.
Offering what the New York Times calls “a garden of cinematic delights,” Kanopy showcases more than 30,000 of the world’s best films, including award-winning documentaries, rare and hard-to-find titles, film festival favorites, indie and classic films, and world cinema with collections from Kino Lorber, Music Box Films, Samuel Goldwyn, The Orchard, The Great Courses, PBS and thousands of independent filmmakers.
All titles are free to stream with your library card and will be available for three days after checkout. Each month you’ll get 25 tickets to use toward content. Kanopy Kids titles don’t use tickets, so you can watch as many kid-friendly titles as you’d like. Watch on your computer, or use the IOS, Android, or Kindle Fire app (see QR codes below). You can also watch on your television using a Roku or Chromecast.

George Capaccio presents Albert Einstein: Relatively Speaking
In this one-hour interactive performance, George invites you to enter the boundary-breaking universe that is the mind of Albert Einstein. You will discover that time and space are inseparable, that time actually slows down the faster you go, and that if you could travel at the speed of light, time would actually stop!
But there’s a lot more to the story than Einstein’s insights into the nature of reality. George focuses on the great scientist’s very human qualities, including his sense of humor, his fondness for Jewish jokes, and his trials and tribulations as a family man.
Thursday, October 1st 6-7pm in the Community Room.
Registration begins Thursday, September 17th.

TONIGHT: Scott Kerman on Michael Dukakis, 6:30 pm
Author of the book with Governor Michael Dukakis, The Duke, Weekly Conversations with The Last Honest Politician
Join us in the Community Room at 6:30 pm tonight to meet author Scott Kerman.
Kerman first met Dukakis at a family-hosted fundraiser in 1977, and the two later reconnected when Dukakis became a regular guest on Kerman’s sports/talk show, The Grandstanders. Over four years (starting around 2020), he visited Michael Dukakis (“The Duke”) every Wednesday at his kitchen table in Brookline, recording hundreds of hours of conversation.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
No registration required.
