New Books at the Library

OUT NOW:  An epic novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits.

OUT NOW:  An unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history.

OUT NOW: A novel about smalltown Ireland that explores a community on the mend and the power of love and trauma to both bring people together and divide them.

Save the Date: Art in the Stacks, July 20 – August 3, 2025

Camden on Canvas will look a little different this year: instead of a live auction ending a weekend of plein air painting, we’re trying out a silent auction format. The event name is Art in the Stacks and the bidding will take place online from July 20th – August 3rd while the artwork is displayed in the library; there will be a reception to celebrate our library and the arts on Sunday, August 3rd.

The pool of about 30 well-known local artists will encompass more styles than just plein air paintings, and we’re showcasing smaller pieces of art (great for those with less wall space!), and hoping to capture folks (like Camden visitors!) wherever they are, either in town or from afar. Learn more here!
