Copy That! Handwriting the Constitutional Amendments
Sunday, July 12 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
In celebration of our country’s 250th and knowing your rights, Camden Public Library is hosting a week-long drop-in experience called “Copy That!” in which the public is invited to copy parts of the Constitutional amendments by hand.
The amendments, writing materials, and community prompt boards will be set up in the library rotunda from July 6-13 during open hours. Come on by and check it out!
Copy as much or as little of any Constitutional amendment as you like. Indulge in our fancy dip pens and textured parchment, or simply pick up a ballpoint and notebook paper. Everyone is invited to engage and reflect on the words in the Constitutional amendments, their history, and their importance today.
You are welcome to take your handwritten copies home, or tape them up on the columns in the rotunda. You can also choose to contribute to the large group-written Constitutional amendments on beautiful mulberry paper—just pick up where the last person left off!
On Thursday, July 9, Maine American Civil Liberties Union will have an informational table where you can pick up free materials, and learn more about your rights and what democracy means today.
