Our “Wayland Reads” selection, Zeitoun, takes place in the flooded aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As we know too well at the library, Wayland is subject to its own flooding problems, and on Sunday, February 13, at 2 p.m. the Wayland Historical Society will present a program entitled “A River Runs Though It: The Flooding of Wayland Past, Present, and Future” in the Raytheon Room. Flooding has been routine in this area for the last 10,000 years or so, and was fundamental to Wayland’s formation and growth over the last two centuries. Join engineer and environmentalist Tom Sciacca and long-time Pelham Island resident and former Conservation Commissioner Sally Newbury for scientific, historical, and personal perspectives on one of Wayland's most distinctive characteristics.
