SUMMARY:"Living the Dreams: Sketches of My Life" with author Connie Scanlon
DESCRIPTION:Camden Public Library welcomes author Connie Scanlon for a talk about her memoir Living the Dreams: Sketches of my Life on Thursday\, August 20 at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by old handwritten letters found in the bookcase as a child and the sound of the freight train passing through Lincoln\, ME\, Connie Scanlon was determined to explore new possibilities. As life moved onward\, the adventures of traveling and her unquenchable desire to gain more insight into music\, cultures and people inspired her to have her backpack standby. Her experience as a teacher\, a performer\, a healer\, a businesswoman\, and spontaneous traveler reverberate throughout the pages of this book. Her destiny was Europe. \n\n\n\nConnie Scanlon grew up in South Lincoln\, Maine. She is a graduate of Mattanawcook Academy and entered Boston Conservatory at the age of seventeen where she received her Bachelor of Music\, piano. Her master’s degree she received from the New England Conservatory in 1974 and was a student of Katja Andy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn endless search for the source of inspiration\, the lost chord\, the Holy Grail has colored her life with many unforgettable experiences. \n\n\n\nShe now permanently lives in The Netherlands with her partner\, Lia\, and enjoys the spirit of Maine streaming vigorously through her veins. \n\n\n\nSpirituality is normality\, humor is the twist\,Life; joy\, tears\, sorrow\, and laughter.  More on the list?Love is the basis\, begin with yourself\,Open your heart\, breathe the warmth\,Your smile\, unconditional wealth.

SUMMARY:**POSTPONED** Concert: An Evening with Anna May in the Amphitheatre **POSTPONED**
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE \n\n\n\nCamden Public Library welcomes singer/songwriter Anna May for an atmospheric folk concert on Tuesday\, August 18 at 6:00 PM in the Amphitheatre. Bring your own seating for outdoors. Picnics\, families\, dogs and dancing welcome. Free as always. Rain location inside the library. \n\n\n\nAnna May is a critically acclaimed songwriter & vocalist who strives to bring jazz elements into the format of folk. Originally from Connecticut\, before becoming a western transplant\, Anna is a singular artist whose songs bear a placelessness that lends to their timeless nature.  \n\n\n\nAnna explores both estrangement and connection while taking cues from artists like Billie Holiday\, Shawn Colvin\, Neil Young\, Mazzy Star\, Lana del Rey\, and Leonard Cohen. As a yogi\, pianist\, teacher & poet\, she masterfully blends all of her influences into her songwriting. Anna May was nominated for best Indie song of 2023 by Indie Boulevard Magazine. \n\n\n\nAnna’s most recent single Atom Bomb was premiered by Under the Radar Magazine\, featured on Holler Country’s Best of Country playlist and Ditty TV’s New Music Playlist\, and reviewed by Earmilk. Her previous release of Fireflies and Buffalo was featured by San Diego Reader and Music Connection Magazine.
