The Library is pleased to welcome Dr. Kristine Hoyt back to the Library for another Armchair Traveler Series event. In 2010, we explored Botswana where Dr. Hoyt worked with wild “big cats” on the Tuli Predator Project. In 2013, she shared the exotic flora and native species of the Galapagos Islands. Next, we will travel to Nepal and experience the outward beauty of the land and the inward beauty of its people. We’ll navigate roads in Kathmandu and discover the peace of climbing to the base of the tallest mountain in the world. This event is free to attend and open to the public.

The Library's evening book discussion group meets in the Conference Room on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm.
Friday, June 14th
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.

Books. Bites. Brews. What a great combination! We’ve partnered with O’Reilly’s Cure here in Scarborough to offer a new book group—Books on Tap—moderated by Tom Corbett, our Systems Librarian (and beer enthusiast). Here’s how it works: Arrive between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm and settle into the lounge area; purchase bites and beverages from O’Reilly’s menu; then share good conversation about the book selected for the month from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
