Liberty Graphics owner, Tom Opper, uses Maine artists and book illustrators, a signature feature of Liberty Graphics.  Years of experience with water-based inks and hand-separated allow the printing to be accurately detailed and brilliantly colored.

During November, view the artwork and T-shirt graphics of 8 artists: Children’s book illustrators Barbara Cooney, Robert McCloskey, Dahlov Ipcar, and Chris Van Dusen; and fine artists Anne Kilham, Eric Hopkins, Stell Shevis, and Bob Richardson. lgtees.com

The Indigenous People History Study Group that meets monthly at the library and the Maine Wabanaki-REACH invite you to an interactive story-telling. We will learn about events in the colonizing history of Wabanaki people (the Indigenous people of Maine) and Europeans and their descendants.

This is a participatory program appropriate for adults and teens. Our goal is to increase our understanding of colonization. This event is free and open to the public. Though for those capable, a $20.00 donation is very much appreciated.

To register, email Hannah at  yanna_la@hotmail.com. Please include your contact info for us to keep you apprised of updates or changes. Registrations help with planning.

For more information, contact Julie Beckford at  juliebeckford@gmail.com

All contributions will go to supporting Maine-Wabanaki REACH’s ongoing work in Native and Maine Communities:

Listen to Barb Rehmeyer reading ” Pearly Everlasting” by Linda Buckmaster broadcast on Sunday, November 10th.

Listen to John Twomey reading “Ants” by Lynn Ascrizzi broadcast on Sunday, October 27th.

Both were broadcast on WERU. The Poetry Express performance was held at the library on September 23rd.

As autumn begins, it is heartwarming to see our library basket overflowing with the hats, mittens, and other knitwear that our needle crafters have been busy working on over the summer.  We will be distributing these soon to the Walker School in Liberty, the WALDOCAP  Headstart program, Belfast Soup Kitchen, and the Triad collection box for older Waldo County citizens in need of warm clothing.

Please keep your knitting needles clicking and clacking and your crochet hooks hooking as we head into even colder weather.  The need is very great and we will continue to distribute all that you so generously make.  Please know they are truly appreciated by those who receive them. Thank you!

Simple 2-needle mittens: 3-4 yrs,  4-6 yrs, & 6-8 yrs.
A simple pattern for hats can be found here. Another watch cap pattern.

We also collect yarn and needles for Jen Gunderman who delivers these to organizations assisting New Mainers transitioning to life in Maine. They in turn make hats and mittens for other refugees who are in camps awaiting permission to be allowed into other countries to begin making new lives for themselves and their families.

Several knitters are getting together informally to knit (and other crafts) and chat on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 at the library. Anyone is welcome to join them.
