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.

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.  URL:https://www.librarycamden.org/event/resilient-reading-group/2026-02-24/ CATEGORIES:Adults' Calendar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.librarycamden.org/wp-content/uploads/image-395.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260225T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260225T110000 DTSTAMP:20251230T163219Z CREATED:20230525T212042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251230T163219Z UID:92407-1772013600-1772017200@www.librarycamden.org SUMMARY:Book Time for Babies with Miss Amy DESCRIPTION:Join Miss Amy on Wednesdays at 10 am for stories and songs for your little ones!

For decades\, he has lived among the monks who watch over his masterpiece\, an arresting statue that haunts all who see it.During his final hours\, he reveals his life story: his impoverished childhood\, brutal apprenticeship\, and\, most important\, his meeting with Viola Orsini\, the only daughter of a powerful and dangerous aristocratic family.  \n\n\n\nMimo and Viola are instantly drawn to one another\, viewing themselves as outsiders—Mimo\, for his dwarfism\, Viola for her ability to remember everything she has ever read or experienced. Together\, they traverse the unrest of the twentieth century\, from the rise of fascism to the violence of the world wars. While Mimo becomes a celebrated artist\, Viola chases her own dreams of becoming an emancipated woman. Over the decades\, they will lose and find each other time and again\, but never will they give up on the love they share. \n\n\n\nImmersive and full of heart\, Mimo’s adventures are ribald and hilarious\, challenging conventions of his day. Jean-Baptiste Andrea’s Prix Goncourt–winning novel has captivated audiences around the globe and is available to readers in English for the first time thanks to Frank Wynne’s wonderfully vivid translation. \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?

The talk will take place at 3:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nMaureen Egan’s reverent and heartfelt paintings act as visual talismans\, expressing a healing connection with and appreciation of life lessons\, cycles of life\, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world. Egan is at heart a storyteller\, where reality and the imaginal worlds are often combined; her deft use of color and archetypal imagery creates resonant images that spark an uplifting inner response. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Using color\, light\, and intuition\, I strive to create paintings that elicit the depth of feeling I experience when in a scene in nature. For the last several years my focus has been recreating Maine scenes\,encounters that moved me during my visits around the state. Something about a place will draw my attention\, causing me to linger and take the time to study the details\, the light\, and the perceptions of my other senses that influence the character of the experience. \n\n\n\n“I take photographs\, which later\, in my studio\, help me recall the fullness of memory and feeling. Sometimes I begin a painting with a title in mind (often a line from a poem) that encapsulates the tone of the experience and serves as a mantra or theme to keep me on track. I hope to convey the expansiveness\, peacefulness\, and joy that such experiences bring.” – Maureen Egan \n\n\n\n\nTo keep her work accessible to a broader audience\, she also offers note cards and giclee prints of her paintings at a variety of locations in and around the state\, and on her website\, eganart.com.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrior to her painting career\, Egan was an illustrator for Downeast magazine as well as Enrollment Director for the Ashwood Waldorf School in Rockport. \n\n\n\n“My artistic practice has taught me that an image and especially color and light can truly help a person feel a comforting or empowering shift. Initially that person is me and I often turn to imagery when I am lost or troubled by a situation. When creating a scene\, I listen to the painting\, allowing it to evolve and guide me into the feelings that I may not have words for\, but which are expressed—and lifted—into the beauty of the colors and forms that manifest on the canvas.” \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.
