📰 News we're reading
• Inside Nantucket's Thrift Store Wars (townandcountrymag.com) — Madaket locals will recognize the “Madaket Mall,” the free Take It or Leave It shed by the dump where residents have long scored furniture, clothes, and even the odd diploma. A new feature dives into how this spot and the island’s Hospital Thrift Shop fuel fierce but philanthropic thrifting, turning discarded Nantucket treasures into community support and affordable finds for year-rounders. 
• Great white sharks are back off Cape Cod — where they've been spotted (capecodtimes.com) — Madaket beachgoers should note that great white shark season is underway again, with a prior seal-bite incident documented off Smith’s Point in Madaket, Nantucket. Scientists say shark numbers will rise through summer into fall and urge swimmers to avoid areas with seals or schooling fish, stay close to shore, and use tools like the Sharktivity app to track activity.
