New Books at the Library

OUT NOW:  A novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film…and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny and touching, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

OUT NOW:  The iconic singer-songwriter opens up about her traumatic childhood in the Deep South, her years of being overlooked in the music industry, and the stories that inspired her enduring songs.

COMING IN JUNE:  The latest historical novel from author Lisa See, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China.

Harbor Arts & Books Fairs

The Camden Public Library is pleased to announce another year of our Annual Harbor Arts and Books Fairs on July 8 – 9 and September 30 – October 1, 2023.

The fairs take place in Camden’s historic Harbor Park and Amphitheatre, and on the street that passes through the park, at the head of Camden Harbor. About 65-80 exhibitors display their work in standard 10×10 tents. We would love to welcome you to the salty air and intimate surroundings of our Harbor Park and Amphitheatre during the time of year when the town of Camden is bustling with tourists — all here to enjoy the ocean views and many cultural and artistic events in the area.

VENDORS: If you are a vendor who is interested in applying for the fall fair, please visit the online application portal:
