A word about the stained-glass windows on this page:
They were created and donated to the Brewster Ladies’ Library by Neil Bantly in 2004. He designed them from sketches drawn by Malcolm Wells. Except for the two panes with stacks of books in them, the four designs are all drawn from classic works of American fiction: Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton; The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain; and Moby Dick, by Herman Melville.
