Tomorrow

Stonewall Riots Documentary & Discussion
- Calendar: Scarborough Public Library Adult Services
- Start time: 06:30pm
- The Library's Retro Summer Series commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, Apollo 11 moon landing, and Woodstock festival. On June 28, 1969, a gay club located in Greenwich Village in New York City - the Stonewall Inn - was raided by New York City police. The event sparked a riot that would lead to six days of protests and violent clashes in neighboring streets of the Stonewall Inn and in nearby Christopher Park. The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world. Join us in viewing the American Experience documentary, Stonewall Uprising, based on the book, Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution by David Carter. The screening will be followed by a discussion facilitated by Rachel Reinke, Ph.D., Associate Director of the Sexuality, Women, and Gender Center at Bowdoin College. This event is free to attend and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Drop-In Sketching Group
- Calendar: Scarborough Public Library Adult Services
- Start time: 10:00am
- Noodling. Doodling. Dabbling. If a program description includes these words, you can be sure it will be relaxed and fun. Leave inhibitions behind and create free-form drawings, journal entries, small cards, or tiny books using simple items like a drawing pencil or roller ball pen and a notepad or journal. While there is no “instructor” per se (again, this is a casual drop-in activity), we’ll be joined by Michael David Brown, a retired illustrator and Scarborough resident. This event is free to attend. Basic supplies will be available or bring your own.
