SUMMARY:Healing Handwork Workshop Series: Sewing Messy Mandalas with Robinsunne
DESCRIPTION:What needs to be healed? Our bodies? Our jobs? Our homes? Our psyches? Our relationships? Our experiences of joy? \n\n\n\nYou are invited to join a workshop series of art classes wherein we make mandalas – beautiful\, meditative circles – to engage our hands while our souls and minds listen patiently for the answers we seek. It is remarkable how this all works together. The classes will take place on four Saturday mornings: May 11\, May 18\, May 25\, and June 1 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM in the Picker Room. It is free and open to adults! \n\n\n\nIn this series of classes\, we will each embroider a mandala. If you can sew a running stitch\, that is enough. If you are a well-practiced embroideress this will be awesome fun. Sewing is where it all gets fabulous.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop series is free and open to all\, but spots are limited. This registers you for all four sessions. Please sign up ahead of time here: https://forms.microsoft.com/r/4zff9hTQzM \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you want? We need to know\, but are trained to turn away. We get taught to ignore the “magic” of being a human. We get chastised\, or worse\, punished for spending time in our imaginations. And then we get sick\, or stuck in uncomfortable situations where we don’t have the space to enact our Gifts\, and have no discernable path back to our True hearts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobinsunne is a local mixed-media fiber artist. She has taught at the Library during some Jumpstart Januarys\, and exhibited in the past two Accordion Book Shows hosted by Amy Hand. She also contributes to and trades with the Artist Trading Card box at the front desk.

SUMMARY:"Sunrise and the Real World" with Author Martha Tod Dudman
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library welcomes Maine author Martha Tod Dudman for a reading and discussion of her novel\, Sunrise and the Real World on Thursday\, May 9\, at 6:30 PM. This program will be in-person only. Books will be for sale and signings afterwards. **Please note that only cash or check will be accepted.** \n\n\n\nWhen Lorraine\, a recent college graduate\, starts work at a residential treatment center for troubled teens\, she quickly finds herself absorbed into a world very distant from the idyllic lobsters-and-lighthouses fairy tale she had always associated with Maine. Instead\, she discovers a landscape of abused and angry teenagers\, illicit romance\, and danger. Still\, she grows to love the place and its people until events shatter her confidence in the world and her own morality. Years later\, disheartened and battered by life\, Lorraine is unexpectedly drawn back to that world to confront the person she was\, the choices she made\, and the bitter ghosts that still haunt her. In Sunrise and the Real World\, Martha Tod Dudman has penned a taut and spellbinding coming-of-age novel that will stay with you long into the night. \n\n\n\nMartha Tod Dudman lives in Maine and is the author of Dawn\, Expecting to Fly\, Black Olives\, and Augusta\, Gone\, which was adapted as an award-winning film.

SUMMARY:“Surviving Disaster with Knitting in Hand” with Anna Zilboorg - In Person Only!
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: The recording from this event is now available! View the video on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aALjjG8S4CE \n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library is delighted to welcome the extraordinary Anna Zilboorg\, who will speak to the audience about “Surviving Disaster with Knitting in Hand\,” on Tuesday\, May 7\, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nAnna Zilboorg\n\n\n\nNOTE: This program is now IN PERSON ONLY. There will not be a live Zoom component. However\, there will be a recording.  \n\n\n\nThe richness of colors\, textures\, and patterns that are vivid in Anna Zilboorg‘s knitted creations reflect the multi-faceted tapestry of her personal and professional life. Now 91 years old\, she has lived in NYC\, Cambridge\, Meadows of Dan in the Blue Ridge Mountains\, and currently in Rockland\, with past travels to Turkey and Armenia to study Middle Eastern knitting patterns. \n\n\n\nHer formal schooling ended with a PhD in Comparative Literature from Harvard and 11 years of teaching at MIT. Anna has also run a shelter for street kids\, cooked for a monastery\, and sold her work at Washington\, D.C. and Philadelphia craft shows. She has raised two children and has just welcomed her fourth great-grandchild into the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna considers herself primarily a teacher\, though she has a store on the fiber arts website Ravelry. Of her six books\, she considers “Knitting for Anarchists” the most useful\, and because of this book\, she has been known as the “anarchist knitter.” \n\n\n\nAnna will talk about knitting\, not as a hobby\, but as a useful and important part of living a good life in a really hard time. In her words\, “Personally\, it gets us out of anxiety and anger\, into beautiful things. Socially\, it mends divisions and creates possibilities.”

SUMMARY:"Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability" Film Screenings and Q&A\, Community Connect Maine
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to a screening of Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability\, a collection of short videos about the lived experience of Mainers with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers. This will take place on Thursday\, May 2\, at 6:00 PM in the Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. \n\n\n\nThis ongoing\, multi-year project was developed\, with grant funding from the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council\, by Community Connect Maine\, a non-profit organization dedicated to the vision that all people have the support they need\, when they need it\, to live a full life in their communities of choice. A barrier to achieving that goal is that many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are invisible in their community. We hope to overcome that barrier by helping people in the disability community share their stories. \n\n\n\nAdmission to the screening is free\, but attendees are strongly encouraged to register in advance at https://communityconnectme.org/events-and-workshops. \n\n\n\nThese videos premiered in Brunswick in 2023 to a standing-room-only crowd. We have since been invited to screen them all over the state. As Maine prepares to completely overhaul the system of care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities\, it is more critical than ever that their voices are heard. \n\n\n\nEveryone has a story to tell\, and stories are meant to be heard. Come hear our stories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Connect Maine was founded in 2015 as a network of families of people with disabilities. The purpose of the network is to strengthen and expand resources to improve quality of life in the disability community. Collaborating with other statewide resources\, we kicked off our network by obtaining a grant to train ten individuals with disabilities and family members to share their lived experiences in order to advocate for a better system of care. \n\n\n\nThat network is now more than 4\,000 strong\, representing all 16 Maine counties. We became a 501c3 non-profit in 2020\, and collaborate with over 12 statewide organization to fulfill our vision that all people have the support they need\, when they need it\, to live a full life in their communities of choice. Our mission is to connect individuals\, families\, caregivers\, and communities to improve the system of care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and related conditions.

SUMMARY:"Dirigo: Maine at Gettysburg" Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library\, in partnership with the Camden-Rockport Historical Society\, are pleased to welcome filmmaker Daniel Lambert for a feature of his documentary film\, Dirigo: Maine at Gettysburg\, on Saturday\, April 27\, 4:00 PM. This program will take place in-person only in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nFifteen units of Maine soldiers – infantry\, artillery\, and cavalry\, were all part of the Union army at Gettysburg. Their contributions were heroic and vital. What they did when they were called upon helped determine the battle and\, ultimately\, the Civil War. Wherever the action occurred at that sprawling battlefield\, Maine men were in the thick of it. From Devil’s Den to Little Round Top\, the Peach Orchard to the Wheat Field\, from Steven’s Knoll to Cemetery Ridge\, Maine men fought for the Union. Many sacrificed their lives for the idea that the United States of America was worth saving. \n\n\n\nThis film produced by Emmy-nominated Maine filmmaker\, Dan Lambert\, examines the roles of the Maine men who helped to save the nation. The film features footage captured at the Gettysburg National Battlefield over the course of two years and offers Civil War Reenactment footage captured at events at the Norlands Living History Center in Livermore\, Maine and at the Daniel Lady Farm in Gettysburg\, Pennsylvania.  \n\n\n\nThe film will be followed by Q & A and discussion with Civil War history specialist David Sulin. \n\n\n\nView the trailer here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Lambert has produced two previous films on Maine in the Civil War “Sixteenth Maine at Gettysburg in 2012”\, and “Forlorn Hope in 2019” about the ill-fated charge of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment at the 1864 Battle of Petersburg.

In 1940\, he moved to Rockland with his new bride\, Cecile\, where he became Correspondent Reporter/Photographer for the Portland Press Herald’s Rockland office\, and represented other Gannett Publishing papers in Maine. During his career\, he distinguished himself as a photojournalist\, receiving local and national awards for his work.

Moore died in 2001.  The Penobscot Marine Museum was able to acquire nearly 2000 of his large format negatives in 2022; these images are predominantly maritime-themed. The lion’s share of his archive resides at the Rockland Historical Society. The two institutions have joined forces to create this exhibit of Moore’s maritime photographs.

SUMMARY:Camden Philosophical Society: John Dewey - In Person & On Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Famed early 20th Century philosopher John Dewey will provide grist for the discussion mill at the April 16 gathering of the Camden Philosophical Society. Like other ancient-to-contemporary thinkers whose ideas the society has discussed in recent months\, Dewey saw philosophy as a way of living and interacting with the world\, not merely as an academic pursuit. The hybrid gathering will be at 3:30 pm on Tuesday\, April 16. All are welcome to participate\, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom.  \n\n\n\n If you wish to participate via Zoom\, please email sarahmiller@usa.net. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the morning of the meeting. Click on the “Join Zoom Meeting” link in that invitation at the time of the event. \n\n\n\nDewey spent the first half of the last century as the United States’ pre-eminent public philosopher\, writing on educational theory\, aesthetics\, human nature\, politics and culture\, and other topics. Born in Vermont in 1859\, he died in New York City in 1952 — so his life spanned horse-drawn carriages to jet airplanes\, muskets to hydrogen bombs. His obituary was on the front page of the New York Times. \n\n\n\nKnown as a pragmatist\, Dewey took human lived experience (described as meaningful transactions with the world) as the basis of his philosophy. In political philosophy\, he was a strong advocate for democracy\, including reforming our educational system to solicit individual traits for working in community. \n\n\n\nGreg Fahy has proposed readings from Dewey’s 1927 book The Public and Its Problems: An Essay in Political Enquiry. Specifically\, Greg suggests participants read Chapter 4\, “The Eclipse of the Public”; and Chapter 5\, “The Search fo Camden Philosophical Society reading and discussion group for April 16zzzzr the Great Community” ahead of the discussion.  These two chapters\, published nearly 100 years ago\, cover the challenges of realizing a democratic community in the United States.   \n\n\n\nThe book can be accessed online for free here via Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71000Or here via The Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.190550/mode/2up \n\n\n\nBoth provide for downloads in multiple formats.

SUMMARY:Partial Solar Eclipse!
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to witness this historic celestial spectacle on Monday\, April 8! A partial solar eclipse will be visible in Camden (weather permitting) from 2:10 – 4:40 p.m.\, with the peak from 3:28 – 3:35 p.m. \n\n\n\nWhile this event won’t plunge Camden into complete darkness\, it promises a sight to behold as the moon partially obscures the sun and shifts the cast of the light around us. The openness of Harbor Park is a great place to view from. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSolar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth\, casting a shadow on our planet. During a partial eclipse\, only a portion of the sun is obscured\, but it still creates an awe-inspiring spectacle. \n\n\n\nYou can also drive a couple hours north to experience the drama of totality. Use NASA’s interactive eclipse explorer map to view which Maine towns are in the path. \n\n\n\nWhether you join us in Camden or travel north\, grab your eclipse glasses\, gather your friends and family\, and join the millions of others who will be watching this historic event. See you under the eclipse! \n\n\n\nEclipse Resources\, Tips\, Programs & Videos\n\n\n\nEclipse Resources \n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Maine Eclipse page\n\n\n\nState of Maine Eclipse page\n\n\n\nGulf of Maine Research Institute\n\n\n\nNASA’s interactive eclipse explorer map\n\n\n\nAll about viewing safety\n\n\n\nPortland Public Library’s eclipse page (including what to do if you don’t have eclipse glasses)\n\n\n\n\nPreviously recorded programs about the eclipse: \n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Maine’s Versant Power Astronomy Center’s program about the eclipse\n\n\n\nMaine Public’s “Maine Explained” program\, “Why the 2024 solar eclipse is such a big deal”\n\n\n\nEclipse Q & A with Gulf of Maine Research Institute\n\n\n\n\nLivestream the eclipse: \n\n\n\n\nNASA’s total solar eclipse livestream\n\n\n\nNASA’s total solar eclipse livestream (telescope view)

SUMMARY:"Jim Moore: Midcoast Correspondent" from the Penobscot Marine Museum\, On Exhibit in the Picker Room Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit “Jim Moore: Midcoast Correspondent” from the Penobscot Marine Museum will be on view in the Picker Room Gallery at the Camden Public Library during Maritime Month this April.* \n\n\n\nJoin PMM Digital Curator Matt Wheeler for an illustrated talk at Camden Library on Tuesday\, April 16\, at 6:30 PM. The presentation will explore Moore’s life and work as a denizen of Midcoast Maine. \n\n\n\nSteel “boom jumper” No. 35 being launched by crane for sea trials on April 18\, 1952 at Rockland’s General Foods Shipyard.  Photo by Jim Moore\n\n\n\nAs a child\, Jim Moore had the opportunity to visit a noted news photographer’s darkroom\, which sparked a lifelong interest in cameras and photography. In 1940\, he moved to Rockland with his new bride\, Cecile\, where he became Correspondent Reporter/Photographer for the Portland Press Herald’s Rockland office\, and represented other Gannett Publishing papers in Maine. During his career\, he distinguished himself as a photojournalist\, receiving local and national awards for his work. He worked with fellow Midcoast photographers Kosti Ruohomaa and Carroll Thayer Berry to publish Maine Coastal Portrait in 1959. Moore died in 2001.  The Penobscot Marine Museum was able to acquire nearly 2000 of his large format negatives in 2022; these images are predominantly maritime-themed. The lion’s share of his archive resides at the Rockland Historical Society. The two institutions have joined forces to create this exhibit of Moore’s maritime photographs. The show was guest-curated by Maine wooden boat expert Maynard Bray. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library carries on its Maritime Month tradition this April by featuring a month-long exhibit\, “Jim Moore: Midcoast Correspondent\,” from the Penobscot Marine Museum and hosting a series of themed programs. Join us in celebrating our maritime heritage! \n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library is grateful to the Penobscot Marine Museum for the opportunity to host this exhibit during Maritime Month. \n\n\n\n*The Picker Room hosts meetings and library events and is not always open for viewing. Please call ahead or check our website calendar to see what’s happening daily.
