Special Programs:

On Tuesday August 5th at 5:00pm, Maine author Alice Bingham Gorman will read and discuss her book Daffodils in December: Poems from an Unexpected Life at the Jackson Memorial Library in Tenants Harbor. Hailed as imaginative and wise, the book journeys through grief and doubt to a place of possibility, “that sense of stepping off / into the vast unknown.” 

Alice Bingham Gorman is a writer of fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry. Her articles have been published in Vogue, O, The Oprah Magazine, The Delta Review, The Maine Times and other publications since 1969.

On Friday August 8th from 4:00 to 6:00pm, the library will host an opening reception for our August show, “Stitches and Storytelling: Landscape Fiber Art,” featuring the lively landscapes of local fiber artist Maggie Moran. 

Maggie Moran uses hundreds – in some cases thousands – of tiny stitches to bring landscapes to life. For her August show, she will include an original “story” for each piece exhibited, from realistic scenes in and around St. George and the mid-coast to whimsical interpretations of her travels to Scotland and Ireland, and a selection of  “quick” stitch motifs that speak to what’s special about living in Maine.

Maggie Moran's art will be on display from August 8th through 29th, 2025.
