SUMMARY:Working the Sea: Selections from the National Fisherman Collection\, Penobscot Marine Museum
DESCRIPTION:During the month of April*\, an exhibit from the National Fisherman Collection at the Penobscot Marine Museum will be on view in the Picker Room Gallery at the Camden Public Library. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCrewmen aboard seiner working with seine. “Scottish seining on 55′ MARY ANN BRADFORD” [ref. NF 07/1980\, p. 32]\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNational Fisherman was introduced in 1954 as a monthly publication focused\, then and now\, on commercial fishermen: the industry that surrounds them\, the boats they use\, and the gear they rely on. Fishermen weren’t the only audience\, however\, and for many years\, it was known as “the saltiest magazine on the newsstand”— a good part of its readership owned pleasure boats\, wanted to build\, or were just interested in maritime history. National Fisherman covered it all: fishing\, building and repairing small boats\, trending maritime equipment and supplies\, the ordinary drama of life and work at sea\, present and past. An upcoming photo book by long-time NF contributor\, Michael Crowley\, will explore stories from the archives of the magazine. This exhibit draws directly from his book and research\, and of course from the National Fisherman Collection at Penobscot Marine Museum. \n\n\n\nPMM warmly thanks Diversified Communications\, the parent company of the magazine who donated the NF photographs here in 2012\, for their generous financial support of the exhibit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Thursday\, April 27th at 6:30 pm\, Michael Crowley\, author of the forthcoming book Working the Sea\, will give an illustrated talk on his experience writing and editing for National Fisherman magazine.  As Boats & Gear editor at NF\, he provided stories on boatbuilding\, boat repair\, and fishing gear. The geographic coverage of his work included New England\, the South Atlantic\, Gulf\, West Coast and Alaska. He wrote many pieces himself\, and assigned and edited the rest. Michael’s talk coincides with the current exhibit on display at CPL which features captioned photographs selected from the book\, and provides access to the complete short essays which accompany them. He resides in Belfast and still contributes regularly to National Fisherman. \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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library is grateful to the Penobscot Marine Museum for the opportunity to host this exhibit during Maritime Month.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with Jason Grundstrom-Whitney
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, April 4\, at 6:30 p.m. the Camden Public Library welcomes poet\, musician\, and activist Jason Grundstrom-Whitney to the library’s Picker Room and on Zoom for an evening of poetry. Grundstrom-Whitney will be reading and discussing poetry from his collection Bear\, Coyote\, Raven\, as well as his upcoming works Blues of the Lost Places and his roughly titled Katahdin Series. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event and will take place in-person in the Picker Room and on Zoom. Use this link to register to attend on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bCxlaFCPSZm9WRkkgAJT3Q \n\n\n\nThis program will be recorded and available on the Camden Public Library YouTube Channel. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of a poetry series at the Camden Public Library leading up to the Camden Festival of Poetry\, of which the library is pleased to be an institutional partner. To learn more about the Camden Festival of Poetry\, taking place on Saturday\, May 20\, visit www.thepoetscorner.org/festival \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJason Grundstrom-Whitney is husband to Lisa\, father of Sarah\, Leif\, and Joshua\, and grandfather of Kael\, Jailyn\, and to Hayley. He has recently retired from close to 40 years in substance abuse counseling and social work\, and is an activist\, musician\, writer\, and poet. His first collection Bear\, Coyote\, Raven achieved critical acclaim with positive reviews from the Boston Globe and others. His next collection Blues of the Lost Places will be published by Resolute Bear later this year. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAbout Bear Coyote Raven \n\n\n\nA bear can be a person\, though most prefer to be bears. Did a coyote ever lead you to a story?  Have you ever lost yourself in the blue-black eye of a raven?  Imagine three such creatures transitioning from people to animals and back\, walking along a desert highway dressed in their finest three-piece suits: ribbon shirts\, jeans\, and moccasins\, foraging a city alley for supper\, or sharing stories under a starlit sky. If you listen closely\, you could learn something from these three magical creatures. In his first book of poems\, Jason Grundstrom-Whitney introduces us to numerous variations of this American trio. Sometimes Bear gets his paw stuck in a back-street dumpster. Coyote shows people how to trick themselves. Raven travels to the far north to bring back another story. \n\n\n\nThe poems in Bear\, Coyote\, and Raven welcome the reader into their shape shifting world\, where themes of environmental degradation\, violence\, and technological troubles explore what we have lost and suggest solutions: to connect with the web of being and those blessed in their own right. The poet asks us to engage\, to take the time to invest our energy\, and to explore this different way of being. \n\n\n\n(Description source)

SUMMARY:The Art of Sound: Recordings from the Coast of Maine - On Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library is pleased to welcome Sound Artist Dianne Ballon for her presentation The Art of Sound: Recordings from the Coast of Maine on Tuesday\, April 11 at 6:00 PM. \n\n\n\nThis program will take place on Zoom. Click here to register and receive the link to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_d_k5bAMmS2eYennLZeOK9g \n\n\n\nTo experience the high fidelity of sound that will be presented\, headphones or good quality speakers are highly recommended. \n\n\n\n\nSound artist Dianne Ballon has been working in sound for over thirty-five years. She was awarded a Maine Artist Fellowship from the Maine Arts Commission. In lieu of returning to the Arctic where she has recorded sound\, the award and the limitations from the pandemic gave her the opportunity to focus on her coastal sound series at home on the coast of Maine. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThrough the sound work she has recorded and mixed over the past fellowship year\, Dianne will introduce listeners to the beauty and the richness of sound. She will share the stories behind the sounds\, including the difficulties of field recording\, recording the navigational buoys from the water\, and the discovery of a “lost” sound. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOf her coastal sound series\, Ballon writes\, “The series includes my Boats Creaking at a Dock in Iceland\, recorded in a tiny harbor in the northwestern fjords of Iceland. Each harbor has its own distinct sound. Rocked by the motion of water\, the pull of the tide\, and a variable touch of wind\, the boats create a mesmerizing series of sounds. The sounds are introspective: both sharp and smooth\, quiet and busy\, rhythmic yet random and to me\, achingly beautiful.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDianne Ballon is a sound artist from Portland\, Maine. Her sound works have aired on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. She was awarded a Maine Artist Fellowship from the Maine Arts Commission. Her coastal sound work was featured in Yankee magazine. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDuring her Artist-in-Residency at Shenandoah National Park\, she created a sound portrait for the park. At the Goethe Institute\, she presented her sound installation Musical Instrument Dreams. She produced audio for the award winning national exhibition The Marines and Tet: The Battle That Changed the Vietnam War. For an international radio art competition\, she was awarded for her field recording of boats creaking at a dock in Iceland. She produces audio for Tactile Images\, a company that creates fine art for museums that is accessible to the blind through touch and sound. \n\n\n\nFor over ten years\, she was a member of the teaching and production staff at the National Audio Theatre Festivals. At the University of Maine at Augusta\, she taught audio production and radio theatre. She taught many classes to artists\, producers and podcasters. This includes: the Public Radio Exchange Podcast Garage\, Harvard Sound Education conference\, and at several Audubon societies for her field recordings on birds. Currently\, she teaches audio production through the SALT Institute for Documentary Studies at Maine College of Art & Design. \n\n\n\nFor more about her work\, visit: www.dianneballonsound.com and The Listener: Maine Sound Artist Dianne Ballon

SUMMARY:Center for Wildlife Studies "Wild Maine" Series: Marine Mammal Stranding Response in Northeastern Maine with Rosemary Seton
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON TUESDAY\, MAY 2 AT 6:30 PM. Please join us then! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Center for Wildlife Studies “Wild Maine” Series\, in partnership with the Camden Public Library\, continues with a presentation by Rosemary Seton\, Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator at Allied Whale on the marine mammal stranding response in northeastern Maine. \n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event and will take place in person in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library as well as on Zoom. Use this link to register on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-8nitJDGS-GrU7BnCWmIBQ \n\n\n\nRosemary Seton\, the Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator at Allied Whale\, the marine mammal lab at College of the Atlantic\, will talk about marine mammal stranding response from Rockland to Calais. Rosie will also discuss the various marine mammal species we see here and what to do when you spot a seal ashore. Is it in distress or just resting? With harbor seal pupping time fast approaching\, those delightful pups will soon be making their appearance on beaches and boulders. Rosie will discuss what to do and what not to do. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRosie is the Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator at Allied Whale\, College of the Atlantic. She holds a B.A. in Physiological and Neuropsychology from McGill University in her hometown of Montreal\, and an M.Sc. in Marine Mammal Science from the University of St Andrews\, Scotland. She curated the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalogue at Allied Whale beginning in 1998 and took on the position of stranding coordinator in 2003. She has worked with marine mammals especially seals and humpback whales in Newfoundland and Labrador\, Canada\, and the United States for over 30 years and loves giving talks about these charismatic megafauna. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAllied Whale is involved in field research projects that are far ranging\, both scientifically and geographically. Our biologists and students study whales not only in the Gulf of Maine\, but often work in many other areas of the world on collaborative projects with both American and foreign institutions. In recent years\, our researchers’ studies have taken them to Canada (finback\, humpback and right whales in the Bay of Fundy\, finbacks off Nova Scotia in winter\, and humpbacks off Newfoundland)\, the Antarctic (humpback whales)\, New Zealand (Hector’s dolphins)\, Dominican Republic (humpback whale breeding and calving ground)\, and Bermuda (humpback whale migration). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe mission of the Center for Wildlife Studies is to provide accessible environmental education worldwide and promote wildlife conservation through science. \n\n\n\nLearn more about CWS by visiting their website: centerforwildlifestudies.org \n\n\n\nWe hope you’ll also join for future programs in the “Wild Maine” Series at the library on May 18 and May 30\, 2023.

SUMMARY:In Person & On Zoom: Camden Philosophical Society Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Philosophical Society meets on the third Tuesday of each month for reading and discussion.  \n\n\n\nThe Camden Philosophical Society will be shifting both back — to Aristotle’s predecessor in Greek philosophy Anaximander — and forward to contemporary physicist and science popularizer Carlo Rovelli at its next regularly scheduled gathering on Tuesday\, April 18\, from 3:30-5:30 pm. We will accomplish this with a discussion of selected parts of Rovelli’s latest book\, Anaximander and the Birth of Science. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate in this hybrid session\, either in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom. If you wish to participate via Zoom\, please let us know by return email (Reply All). 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\nChapter 8 of Rovelli’s book is entitled\, “What is  Science?” It explores why science can’t be reduced to verifiable predictions\, as some take to be the conclusion of philosopher of science Karl Popper; why uncertainty is the key to understanding in science; and why Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions  underestimates how science builds on previous scientific achievements. Instead of discarding theories and trying other ones out\, Rovelli argues\, giants like Einstein relied faithfully on the work of their predecessors but produced radical results by “changing the rules of the game” – it was the concept of time itself he took to be no longer obvious and the assumption of simultaneity that needed rethinking. Rovelli asks the obvious follow-on question: If science is always changing\, why is it reliable?  His answer: “Because at any moment in history\, this is the best description we have.” Reality is not a hypothetical or an unknowable thing. “It is that about which we do learn and know;” although our unfolding knowledge of it is fallible. \n\n\n\nIn Chapter 9\, “Between Cultural Relativism and Absolute Thought\,” Rovelli challenges the conclusion that all opinions about truth and falsehood are equally valid: “Being aware that we may be wrong is different from claiming that it is senseless to speak of right and wrong.”  We are each immersed in cultures that differ in how they shape our thinking\, but communication is possible\, and learning from one another may crucially feed the desire to know that we’ve inherited from Eve. \n\n\n\nOur ‘required’ reading will be Chapters 8 and 9 from Anaximander and the Birth of Science\, which can be obtained for free in PDF or e-book form here: https://oceanofpdf.com/authors/carlo-rovelli/pdf-epub-anaximander-and-the-nature-of-science-download/ . The short “Introduction” to the book is also helpful and to be recommended. \n\n\n\nThis meeting will be happening in person as well as on Zoom. Contact Sarah Miller at sarahmiller@usa.net to let her know how you plan to attend and to receive a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:It's National Library Week! #WeLoveCPL
DESCRIPTION:Next week\, April 23 – 29\, the library welcomes you to celebrate National Library Week with us by enjoying the many kinds of stories we have to offer. The annual celebration of National Library Week highlights the valuable role that libraries play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. Each day will have a theme\, in turn focusing on the Library Staff\, the Walsh History Center\, Young Readers\, Lifelong Learners\, and the Parks. The week ends with a Day of Honor\, in which the library invites the public to make a donation to dedicate a new book to a special person.  \n\n\n\nDonations can be made in-person at the library; by mail to the “Camden Public Library Fund” at 55 Main St.\, Camden\, ME 04843; or on the library website at librarycamden.org/stockthestacks. \n\n\n\n“One of my favorite things about libraries is that they are filled with stories – and this library is bursting with all kinds to enjoy\,” said Library Executive Director Nikki Maounis. “When you think of the Camden Public Library\, perhaps novels\, picture books\, large-print titles\, audiobooks\, and e-books come to mind – and yet there’s so much more to the story. You have at your fingertips virtual programming to watch in your living room; educational programs in our unique building; decades of history that come to life in the Walsh History Center\, Camden Amphitheatre\, and Harbor Park; and stories that find you where you want them\, delivered through Curbside and Homebound Delivery.” \n\n\n\nHighlights of the week include a presentation about the past and future of our shore with “Storm Surge Risk & Mitigation in Camden Harbor” on Tuesday\, April 25\, at 6:30 p.m. in person and on Zoom. Miss Amy will host three outdoor storytimes for children\, including Booktime for Babies on Young Readers Day\, Wednesday\, April 26\, at 10 a.m. (weather permitting).

This truly is a valuable facility for all to enjoy. Members can be proud that it was recently named Maine’s only Five-Star Library\,” Maounis said. \n\n\n\nWith pandemic-bolstered support waning\, the library needs extra help to enable these types of programs and all-ages outreach and seeks to raise $46\,673. Donations will also help cover increased operational expenses\, like inflation-impacted electricity and facility costs. \n\n\n\n“This year\, we really need our public to pitch in whatever they can to help their library navigate these times\,” Maounis said. “If you appreciate the library and its role in our town\, I invite you to give a donation during National Library Week. Every contribution makes a real difference to our work.” \n\n\n\nDonations can be made in-person at the library; by mail to the “Camden Public Library Fund” at 55 Main St.\, Camden\, ME 04843; or on the library website at librarycamden.org/stockthestacks. \n\n\n\n\nWhen you dedicate a new book to someone special during our Day of Honor on Friday\, April 28\, you will recieve a personalized e-postcard to celebrate your gift.
