Step inside the Carroway Island Library, where local history, watermen’s lore, strange trials, useful guides, and unreliable legends are kept under one roof. Some books are practical. Some are peculiar. All belong to the island.

A literary island tale of accusation, memory, and one very unusual trial.
A winter legend, a frozen bay, and Crazy Jack’s most unbelievable tale yet.

The Oyster Keepers is a story of resilience and rivalry on the water, where an experimental oyster farm, a changing bay, and small-town ambition collide in unexpected and often humorous ways.
Weather signs, tide wisdom, old sayings, and practical island advice. Invaluable for visits to Carroway Island and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay areas.

Everything a visitor should know before stepping off the ferry — whether or not the island is expecting you.

Recipes, remedies, kitchen wisdom, and notes from the tables of Carroway Island.
A small practical guide to knots, ropes, and waterman common sense.
The official alphabetical guide to its people, places, history, and legends.
