SUMMARY:CamdenCAN’s Fall/Winter Resilient Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:We humans\, and the rest of the planet\, exist in a tightly bound web of interconnections. These intersections are both our solution/salvation—it will take each and everyone of us working together to create a better world—and paradoxically it’s also these tightly bound systems that  are also causing the challenging conditions—droughts\, wildfires\, heat waves\, human migrations\, extreme weather\, biodiversity loss\, ocean acidification\, etc.— of our our current climate-changed world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to get a better understanding of these interconnections\, meet other curious and engaged Midcoast residents\, and find ways to not only remain resilient during the upcoming decades\, CamdenCAN would like to invite you to join us for our Fall 2025 Resilient Reading Group. \n\n\n\nThe reading group will meet on second and fourth Tuesday afternoons\, 4:00 – 5:00 PM at Camden Public Library in the Picker Room. Dates are 9/23\, 10/7 (bonus session)\, 10/28\, 11/11\, 11/25\, 12/9\, 12/23\, 1/13/26\, 1/27/26. May include a zoom component if desired. If you have questions or would like to preregister\, email camdencan2025@gmail.com.  \n\n\n\nThe ultimate goal of these book discussions is to inform as well as expand one another’s understandings of the moment we are living in. One of the greatest actions to take to improve our current situation is to talk about it\, as well as forge new alliances and build community. Come join us—let’s see what we can do to thrive in these challenging times.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur first book will be Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet by Kate Marvel. Marvel is a climate scientist who conveys her deep understanding of the climate systems with elegance\, humility\, and humor. Her chapters include Wonder\, Anger\, Guilt\, Fear\, Grief\, Pride\, and Hope. Marvel is our guide and our coach. She writes\, “It will not be easy. A happy ending is not guaranteed. But a better one is possible…No one is coming to save us. We have to create the we have to create the world in which we want to live. …Science sets the limits; we write the story. It can be a hopeful one.” We expect this book to carry us for five\, 1-hour sessions. There will be weekly readings and prepared discussion questions\, yet also room for the group to vary the pace and topics depending on personal interests.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe second book in CamdenCAN’s Fall/Winter reading series will be Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart by Brian D. McLaren. Far from an apocalyptic nightmare\, this work\, written by a former English professor and pastor\, offers a life-affirming approach to living in difficult times. As the author states\, “Life After Doom is for everyone who has reached a point where not facing their unpeaceful\, uneasy\, unwanted feelings about the future has become more draining than facing them. It’s for anyone who understands that we’ve entered a dangerous time and we need to prepare ourselves to face that danger with wisdom\, courage\, character\, and compassion.”

SUMMARY:"Merchants of Knowledge: Intellectual Exchange in the Ottoman Empire & Renaissance Europe" with Professor Robert G. Morrison (Camden Conference Community Event)
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library\, as a part of the Camden Conference Community Events Series\, welcomes Professor Robert G. Morrison for a presentation about the intellectual exchange between Islamic societies and Renaissance Europe on Tuesday\, December 9\, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nThe Renaissance is often seen as the result of Europeans’ re-engagement with the heritage of Classical Antiquity\, which Islamic societies preserved during the Dark Ages.  \n\n\n\nRecent research has shown\, though\, that the science of Islamic societies from the twelfth through sixteenth centuries was crucial for Renaissance science.  \n\n\n\nAs Renaissance Europe depended on knowledge from Islamic societies\, Muslim scholars greatly benefitted from knowledge coming out of Europe. Merchants of knowledge—multilingual and transregional Jewish scholars—became an important bridge among the powers. \n\n\n\nThis event will take place in person only\, but will be recorded and available online afterward. \n\n\n\n\nRobert G. Morrison is George Lincoln Skolfield\, Jr. Professor of Religion and Middle Eastern and North African Studies at Bowdoin College. His research has focused on the role of science in Islamic and Jewish texts\, as well as in the history of Islamic science. He is the author of the book Merchants of Knowledge: Intellectual Exchange in the Ottoman Empire & Renaissance Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented in anticipation of the 39th Annual Camden Conference\, “Today’s Middle East: Power\, Politics\, & Players” taking place live from the Camden Opera House from February 20 – 22\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Camden Talks Climate: "Climate Disasters Can Happen Fast. Are You Ready?" with American Red Cross
DESCRIPTION:Photo: American Red Cross.\n\n\n\nClimate disruptions are generating multiplying disasters – from extreme floods and wildfires to super-charged hurricanes. Even areas once considered “climate havens” are facing major events. On Thursday December 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Camden Public Library\, learn more about how your family can prepare in a presentation by Sophie Piconi\, Executive Director for the American Red Cross Northern New England Region/Midcoast and Central Maine. \n\n\n\nPiconi has been deployed around the U.S. to coordinate American Red Cross disaster responses\, and she knows how differently communities can fare. Since preparedness starts at home\, she’ll share guidance on actions you can take to stay safe during an extended disaster\, and what to have packed in case you need to evacuate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first people to respond to disaster are often neighbors helping neighbors. Skye Ljungberg\, an intern with Maine Climate Science Information Exchange\, will share ideas from model programs where neighborhood-scale pods prepare to check in on each other and share resources. \n\n\n\nThis program takes place in person and will also be streamed on Zoom. To watch virtually\, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uNaznT1bRRaRpPWJCONP_g \n\n\n\nThere will be handouts available\, and the session will be recorded as part of the “Camden Talks Climate” series. This presentation is co-sponsored by CamdenCAN and supported by a state Community Resilience Partnership grant to the towns of Camden and Rockport. \n\n\n\n\nCamdenCAN (ClimateActionNow) is a citizen-led organization committed to reducing Camden’s contribution to climate change through local action\, education\, advocacy\, and resources. We help our community take advantage of climate solutions with actionable steps. Read the CamdenCAN newsletter here.

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "The English Patient" by Michael Ondaatje
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday\, at 11:00 am\, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page\, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian\, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction. \n\n\n\nFor December 12\, Coté will read aloud from Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. \n\n\n\n\nNATIONAL BESTSELLER\n\n\n\n1992 BOOKER PRIZE WINNER\n\n\n\n1992 CANADIAN GOVERNOR GENERAL’S AWARD\n\n\n\n1996 FILM ADAPTATION WINNER OF NINE ACADEMY AWARDS\n\n\n\n2008 GOLDEN MAN BOOKER PRIZE\n\n\n\n2022 BRITISH COMMONWEALTH “BIG JUBILEE READ”\n\n\n\n\nThe novel follows four dissimilar people brought together at an Italian villa during the Italian campaign of World War II: an unrecognizably burned man—the eponymous patient who is presumed to be English—; his Canadian Army nurse; a Sikh sapper; and a Canadian self-described thief. \n\n\n\nThe nurse Hana\, exhausted by death\, obsessively tends to her last surviving patient. Caravaggio\, the thief\, tries to re-imagine who he is\, now that his hands are hopelessly maimed. The Indian sapper Kip searches for hidden bombs in a landscape where nothing is safe but himself. \n\n\n\nAnd at the center of his labyrinth lies the English patient\, nameless and hideously burned\, a man who is both a riddle and a provocation to his companions—and whose memories of suffering\, rescue\, and betrayal illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning. \n\n\n\nThe story is primarily set during the North African campaign and centers on the incremental revelations of the patient’s actions prior to his injuries\, and the emotional effects of these revelations on the other characters.  \n\n\n\nThe story is told through the characters’ perspectives and “authors” of books the characters are reading. \n\n\n\nClick the links to find the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThoughts to share?

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday\, at 11:00 am\, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page\, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian\, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction. \n\n\n\nFor December 19\, Coté will read aloud from Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. \n\n\n\nMadame Bovary is a tragic novel about a young woman\, Emma Bovary\, who is married to a dull\, but kindhearted doctor. \n\n\n\nDissatisfied with her life\, she embarks on a series of extramarital affairs and indulges in a luxurious lifestyle in an attempt to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Her desire for passion and excitement leads her down a path of financial ruin and despair\, ultimately resulting in a tragic end. \n\n\n\nFor daring to peer into the heart of an adulteress and enumerate its contents with profound dispassion\, the author of Madame Bovary was tried for “offenses against morality and religion.”  \n\n\n\nWhat shocks us today about Flaubert’s devastatingly realized tale of a young woman destroyed by the reckless pursuit of her romantic dreams is its pure artistry: the poise of its narrative structure\, the opulence of its prose and its creation of a world whose minor figures are as vital its doomed heroine. \n\n\n\nLong established as one of the greatest novels\, the book has been described as a “perfect” work of fiction.  \n\n\n\nIn reading Madame Bovary\, one experiences a work that remains genuinely revolutionary almost a century and a half after its creation. \n\n\n\nClick the links to find the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThoughts to share?

For more information contact Anna at camdentaiji@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n(Emailing Anna is strongly encouraged so that you can be contacted in case the class is canceled and to confirm if the class will happen in the Amphitheatre or on the Upper Lawn.)
