Her debut album “When We Were Looking” was released in April 2024 with Yep Roc Records. She has now toured it extensively\, opening for renown bands such as Darlingside\, Blitzen Trapper\, Pokey Lafarge and more\, and is in the works of recording her second album.  \n\n\n\n\n\nEmma Krosschell lives in Brooksville\, Maine\, with her partner and their dog.

SUMMARY: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\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 Resilient Reading Group. \n\n\n\nThe reading group meets on second and fourth Tuesday afternoons\, 4:00 – 5:00 PM at Camden Public Library in the Picker Room. If you have questions or would like to participate\, please 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Reception: "It's the Small Things" with Union of Maine Visual Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Midcoast/Downeast chapter of UMVA (Union of Maine Visual Artists) invites everyone to their Artists’ Reception to kick off their exhibit titled “It’s the Small Things\,” on display at the library during the month of May. The exhibit features small works from 28 Maine artists in a variety of mediums\, exploring what rekindles their spirits\, brings them joy\, or inspires introspection. \n\n\n\nThe Artists’ Reception will be held on Saturday\, May 9\, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nWe are constantly reminded to remember to stop and smell the roses\, to look on the bright side\, and that it’s the small things that matter—admonitions that are hard to adhere to in difficult times. What small things attract your attention? What are the moments or experiences that get you through troubled times? What rekindles your spirit\, sparks joy\, or even offers some necessary distraction? Twenty-eight area artists interpret the theme. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists\n\n\n\nLeslie Woods • Leopard and AntelopeRobert Adler • Spirit\, PeekNC Barto • SunflowersDyan Berk • The GatheringRobert Clay • A Barnacle BazaarShanna Compton • Goldenrod Days\, Glacial ErraticJanelle Delicata • Untitled 1\, Untitled 2Shelley Dell • PuddleSusan Dowley • Resilient\, Early HyacinthRandy Fein • Nurtured by My Trees\, Sacred TreeAnnie Fischer • Celestial Grass Bird\, Floating LeafSue Garrett • Miniature Gifts from the SeaJane Herbert • Tear DropArlene Jurewicz-Leighton • By the Side DoorJean Kigel • Blue Oil CanLeslie Moore • Chick Power\, ChickadeeArgy Nestor • Truth\, KindnessElizabeth Nicholson • In the DeepAnne-Marie Nolin • Drift\, SeaglassMaryEllen Ostherr • Flight of intuitive knowingDonald Patten • Blue MushroomBrandy Raymond • Pink Lady Slipper\, Christmas Fern and NewtLiv Kristin Robinson • Gingko Leaves\, Buttons on ParadeDaryne Rockett • WarmthKathryn Shagas • Sea Dance\, They Caught My AttentionSally Stanton • Turn On the Day\, The Sky Above the SkyHillary Steinau • OrkidehGail Wartell • Sax Gizmos 2

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi
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 May 8\, Coté will read aloud from Allen Levi’s Theo of Golden. \n\n\n\n“A word-of-mouth smash hit.” —The New York Times \n\n\n\nOne spring morning\, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden.  \n\n\n\nHe doesn’t explain much about where he came from or why he’s there—but when he visits the local coffeehouse\, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls\, he begins purchasing them\, one at a time\, and giving each portrait to the person depicted.  \n\n\n\nIn exchange\, he asks only for the person’s story.  \n\n\n\nAnd so portrait by portrait\, person by person\, secrets are revealed\, regrets are shared\, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.A story of giving and receiving\, of seeing and being seen\, Theo of Golden is an unforgettable novel about the power of generosity\, the importance of connection\, and the quiet miracles that happen when we choose kindness and wonder. \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:"Neither Wife Nor Widow: A collection of personal stories exploring the emotional realities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia" with Dale Ruth Sherburne
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Dale Ruth Sherburne on Tuesday\, May 5\, 6:30 PM for a book talk and discussion featuring her book Neither Wife nor Widow\, a collection of personal stories that explore the emotional realities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia. This program takes place in-person in the Picker Room. Coffee\, tea\, and cookies provided. \n\n\n\nNeither Wife nor Widow is a riveting\, straight-from-the-trenches reveal about the emotions experienced while caregiving for a family member with dementia. Through dozens of conversational vignettes\, the author bares her feelings with raw\, unapologetic honesty. Stories range from humorous to touching to wrenching\, and shed a previously unseen light into a caregiver’s mind.  \n\n\n\nThe caregiver heart will lighten knowing that “caregiver-land” has no room for judgment or guilt. Loneliness will become kinship with the millions of like-feeling caregivers who stand tall as survivors\, proud of work that can bend the soul but never break it. Caregivers are the silent heroes who willingly give your all to your loved ones\, give it again and still yet again. You are magnificent! We salute you. \n\n\n\n\n“This is a book you definitely do not want to miss\, and to those of us with professional and personal caregiving experiences\, each essay speaks volumes while eliciting nods\, smiles\, tears\, frustration\, and empowerment.” —Journal of Applied Gerontology book review \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDale Ruth Sherburne is a caregiver advocate\, speaker\, and author of Neither Wife nor Widow. Drawing from twenty years of caring for her husband with early-onset dementia\, her work explores the unspoken emotional realities of long-term caregiving\, such as guilt\, resentment\, and grief. Favorably reviewed in the Journal of Applied Gerontology (February 2026)\, Sherburne’s book and presentations aim to normalize these difficult emotions. She advocates for greater support and resources for caregivers\, emphasizing the need for increased awareness among healthcare professionals to address these critical emotional aspects of care.

SUMMARY:On Exhibit: "It's the Small Things" from Union of Maine Visual Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Midcoast/Downeast chapter of UMVA (Union of Maine Visual Artists) invites all to their art exhibition in the Picker Room Gallery\, titled “It’s the Small Things” during the month of May. The exhibit features small works from 28 Maine artists in a variety of mediums\, exploring what rekindles their spirits\, brings them joy\, or inspires introspection. \n\n\n\nAn Artists’ Reception will be held on Saturday\, May 9\, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nWe are constantly reminded to remember to stop and smell the roses\, to look on the bright side\, and that it’s the small things that matter—admonitions that are hard to adhere to in difficult times. What small things attract your attention? What are the moments or experiences that get you through troubled times? What rekindles your spirit\, sparks joy\, or even offers some necessary distraction? Twenty-eight area artists interpret the theme. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists\n\n\n\nLeslie Woods • Leopard and AntelopeRobert Adler • Spirit\, PeekNC Barto • SunflowersDyan Berk • The GatheringRobert Clay • A Barnacle BazaarShanna Compton • Goldenrod Days\, Glacial ErraticJanelle Delicata • Untitled 1\, Untitled 2Shelley Dell • PuddleSusan Dowley • Resilient\, Early HyacinthRandy Fein • Nurtured by My Trees\, Sacred TreeAnnie Fischer • Celestial Grass Bird\, Floating LeafSue Garrett • Miniature Gifts from the SeaJane Herbert • Tear DropArlene Jurewicz-Leighton • By the Side DoorJean Kigel • Blue Oil CanLeslie Moore • Chick Power\, ChickadeeArgy Nestor • Truth\, KindnessElizabeth Nicholson • In the DeepAnne-Marie Nolin • Drift\, SeaglassMaryEllen Ostherr • Flight of intuitive knowingDonald Patten • Blue MushroomBrandy Raymond • Pink Lady Slipper\, Christmas Fern and NewtLiv Kristin Robinson • Gingko Leaves\, Buttons on ParadeDaryne Rockett • WarmthKathryn Shagas • Sea Dance\, They Caught My AttentionSally Stanton • Turn On the Day\, The Sky Above the SkyHillary Steinau • OrkidehGail Wartell • Sax Gizmos 2
