SUMMARY:"Refugees in the Middle East and North Africa: The Politics and Lived Experiences of Displacement" with Professor Nadia El-Shaarawi (Camden Conference Community Event)
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library\, as a part of the Camden Conference Community Events Series\, welcomes Professor Nadia El-Shaarawi for a presentation on Thursday\, February 12\, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nThere are more than 123 million people displaced in the world today\, many of whom hail from\, or live in\, the Middle East and North Africa. Why has this region experienced so much forced migration and what is the significance of these many layered movements?  \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Nadia El-Shaarawi will discuss the contours of displacement in and from the region\, with a focus on the politics of displacement and its effects on the people who live through it. We will explore histories of forced migration as well as the context and implications of displacement today.  \n\n\n\nWhile we will ground our conversation in the Middle East and North Africa\, we will also consider the relationships between migration and displacement in that region and US and global politics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNadia El-Shaarawi is author of the book Collateral Damages: Tracing the Debts and Displacements of the Iraq War\, published this year by University of California Press. This book\, based on long term ethnographic fieldwork with Iraqi refugees in Cairo\, Egypt\, seeks to tell a different story of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the mass displacement it caused\, one that centers the stories and experiences of Iraqis. \n\n\n\nThe book critically examines the war as well as the humanitarian process of third-country refugee resettlement\, which international organizations and states hold up as one solution to displacement. She is also the co-editor\, with Stéphanie Larchanché\, of Migration and Health: Challenging the Borders of Care\, Belonging\, and Policy (Berghahn Books). \n\n\n\nNadia teaches classes on displacement\, migration\, borders\, humanitarianism\, and health in Global Studies and Anthropology at Colby College. \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:Explorations Read-Aloud: "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy
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 February 13\, Coté will read aloud from Baroness Orczy’s The Scarlet Pimpernel. \n\n\n\nA timeless novel of adventure\, intrigue\, and romance is sparked by one man’s defiance in the face of authority… \n\n\n\nThe year is 1792. The French Revolution\, driven to excess by its own triumph\, has turned into a reign of terror. Daily\, tumbrels bearing new victims to the guillotine roll over the cobbled streets of Paris.… Thus the stage is set for one of the most enthralling novels of historical adventure ever written. The mysterious figure known as the Scarlet Pimpernel\, sworn to rescue helpless men\, women\, and children from their doom; his implacable foe\, the French agent Chauvelin\, relentlessly hunting him down; and lovely Marguerite Blakeney\, a beautiful French exile married to an English lord and caught in a terrible conflict of loyalties—all play their parts in a suspenseful tale that ranges from the squalid slums of Paris to the aristocratic salons of London\, from intrigue on a great English country estate to the final denouement on the cliffs of the French coast. \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? Book ideas to suggest?Contact Joseph at friday-explorations@usa.net

In 1955\, when Sharon was 10\, her father purchased a former boys’ camp and the family moved from Connecticut to the old farmhouse on her current property. For the next six years\, Sharon and her family lived the country life\, learning about nature\, raising livestock\, and growing bountiful gardens. In 1961\, the family moved to Brunswick. \n\n\n\nAlthough the farm stayed in the family\, the house and land remained largely unoccupied until 1995 when Sharon’s son Eli built a cabin and moved to the farm. He spent the next five years (and more) restoring the land\, using low-impact methods to manage the woodlands and reclaim open spaces for buildings\, fields\, and gardens. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2004\, Eli built a cabin for Sharon and the seed for Crystal Lake Farm & Nursery was planted. For the past 20 years\, mother and son have worked together to build their business and act as stewards of this small piece of Maine.

SUMMARY:Stephen Batchelor on Buddhism - Camden Philosophical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Philosophical Society will take a detour from our recent discussions about The Will and Freedom to consider the path of Buddhist teachings as written by Stephen Batchelor. He is a prominent author known for his secular approach to Buddhism. With over a dozen published books\, including widely recognized titles such as Buddhism Without Beliefs (1997)\, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist (2010)\, and The Art of Solitude (2020). \n\n\n\nThe Jan. 20 session will\, as usual\, be a hybrid gathering from 3:30-5:30 pm Eastern Time on the third Tuesday of the month. All are welcome to participate\, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom. That goes for visitors\, as well as year-rounders in Maine\, and friends of the Society wherever you may be. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to join via Zoom\, please email sewright772@gmail.com. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the day of the meeting. Click on the “Join Zoom Meeting” link in that invitation at the time of the event \n\n\n\nBatchelor’s appeal lies with his ability to present Buddhist teachings in a highly approachable and applicable manner to our modern life. In fact\, Batchelor’s newest book\, Buddha\, Socrates and Us\, illuminates the significant ways in which questions and uncertainty and doubt\, as Socrates presented as a means to living an “examined life”\, are central to both Western and Eastern frameworks.  \n\n\n\nBatchelor shows how the Western imbued metaphysical interpretation of Buddhism is too narrowly understood to be considered “useful” in our 21st century culture but that when its teachings are understood as guidance in developing our reactions and interactions on a day to day experience\, then we begin to find possibilities in the application of these teachings. While giving us insight into the Buddha  (aka Siddhartha Guatama/Gotama) prior to enlightenment and the teachings of Socrates\, Batchelorbrings “the two together\, in a way\, to recognize the humanity that constitutes their being.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe primary reading will be a transcript from an interview with Stephen Batchelor from the Tricycle Talks podcast episode #132\, “Ethical Living in Uncertain Times”\, which can be read here. \n\n\n\nThe remaining two are supplemental but you may find helpful as additional material explaining more of Batchelor’s thinking. A podcast & transcript from The Ezra Klein Show can be found here. a sample of Batchelor’s newest book\, “Buddha\, Socrates and Us”  (Page 1-20) can be found here.

SUMMARY:Mid-Coast Audubon: "Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor: Poetry\, Prose & Planting for Pollinators" with Deb Soule
DESCRIPTION:The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues on Thursday\, February 19\, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room with a presentation on Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor with Deb Soule. \n\n\n\nIn October of 2021\, a month after the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds left her gardens in Maine\, herbalist and author Deb Soule felt a compelling nudge. The hummingbirds asked Deb to follow their eastern migration route south the following autumn. Without hesitation\, she said yes\, and asked her friend\, poet Laura Brown-Lavoie\, to join her. \n\n\n\nJoin us in person at the Camden Library to hear about Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor\, a record of their pilgrimage\, following these small birds on their thousands-mile migration journey\, and connecting with fellow humans along the way. Through poetry\, prose\, and practical gardening advice\, Deb and Laura offer readers an invitation into relationship with these iridescent interdimensional beings who whiz from bloom to bloom across meadows\, mountains\, and the Gulf of Mexico. \n\n\n\n“How lucky that the cross-pollination of Deb Soule and Laura Lamb Brown-Lavoie’s thoughtful\, caring\, curious minds and hearts has sprouted this beautiful book. Cohesive and innovative\, Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor is a wonderful reminder that wisdom can be found and carried in so many differently-shaped vessels—poem\, prayer\, essay\, seed\, hummingbird\, cross-country roadtrip. I am so moved by this multi-modal collaboration\, which is as splendid to read and look at as it is to learn from.”—Sarah Kay\, author of A Little Daylight Left\, kaysarahsera.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMID-COAST AUDUBON\, SERVING THE MAINE COUNTIES OF KNOX\, LINCOLN\, AND WALDO\n\n\n\nMid-Coast Audubon is a chapter of Audubon\, and affiliated with Maine Audubon. We cover the midcoast inland from Boothbay Harbor\, west to Windsor and China\, and east along the coast to Bucksport. Our mission is to promote long-term\, responsible use of natural resources through informed membership\, education and community awareness. \n\n\n\nThroughout the year fascinating and informative programs are presented (free!) via the Camden Public Library\, and there are numerous field trips to see birds and learn about the natural history of Maine. Come be part of the fun and learning. Check out our events page for dates/times. You can also watch the recorded presentations from earlier programs.

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "In A Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson
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 February 20\, Coté will read aloud from Sandra Smith’s translation of Bill Bryson’s In A Sunburned Country. \n\n\n\nIn a Sunburned Country is a humorous and insightful travelogue by Bill Bryson that explores the unique landscapes\, culture\, and people of Australia. \n\n\n\nDeliciously funny\, fact-filled and adventurous\, In a Sunburned Country takes us on a grand tour of Australia. It’s a place where interesting things happen all the time\, from a Prime Minister lost — yes\, lost — while swimming at sea\, to Japanese cult members who may (entirely unnoticed) have set off an atomic bomb on their 500\,000 acre property in the great western desert.Australia is the only island that is also a continent\, and the only continent that is also a country. Its aboriginal people\, a remote and mysterious race with a tragic history\, have made it their home for millennia. And despite the fact that it is the most desiccated\, infertile and climatically aggressive of all inhabited continents\, it teems with life. In fact\, Australia has more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else: sharks\, crocodiles\, the planet’s ten most deadly poisonous snakes\, fluffy yet toxic caterpillars\, seashells that actually attack you\, and the unbelievable box jellyfish (don’t ask). The dangerous riptides of the sea and the sunbaked wastes of the outback both lie in wait for the unwary. \n\n\n\nAustralia is an immense and fortunate land\, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide. In a Sunburned Country offers the best of all possible introductions to what may well be the best of all possible nations. Even with those jellyfish.  \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? Book ideas to suggest?Contact Joseph at friday-explorations@usa.net

SUMMARY:Exhibit Reception: "Sumner's Abecedary for the Advanced Reader" Prints by Sumner Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Sumner Robert’s exhibit of original\, alphabet-inspired prints\, titled “Sumner’s Abecedary for the Advanced Reader” will be on display in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of February.* The Public is invited to the exhibit reception to view the works\, meet the artist\, and learn about his process on Saturday\, February 21\, 3:00 – 4:00 PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Abecedary is an artistic rabbit hole I fell into and which took me three years to worm my way through. I made three rules for myself: I had to progress in alphabetical order\, make no decisions or sketching more than three letters in advance\, and keep the images simple. I stuck to the first two.  \n\n\n\n“What kept me going was the fun of learning about words\, selecting and practicing appropriate letterforms\, and the challenge of creating a meaningful image within the constraints of color block printing.” — Sumner Roberts \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving been a farmer and farrier for many years\, Sumner Roberts finally held on to the wrong horse for too long and damaged his back. Looking for something else to do with a similar level of beauty and craftsmanship but with less heavy lifting\, he happened to visit a printmaking studio and immediately knew where he wanted to be. \n\n\n\n* The Picker Room is also used for programs\, events\, and private meetings. Check the calendar and call the library to ensure the Picker Room is open for viewing.

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. Come join us—let’s see what we can do to thrive in these challenging times.
