New Books at the Library

OUT NOW:  A bighearted novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive.

OUT NOW:  A riveting look at how Apple helped build China’s dominance in electronics assembly and manufacturing only to find itself trapped in a relationship with an authoritarian state.

OUT NOW: This is a story about hunger, about love, about rage. This is a story about life.

Save the Date: Art in the Stacks, July 20 – August 3, 2025

Camden on Canvas will look a little different this year: instead of a live auction ending a weekend of plein air painting, we’re trying out a silent auction format. The event name is Art in the Stacks and the bidding will take place online from July 20th – August 3rd while the artwork is displayed in the library; there will be a reception to celebrate our library and the arts on Sunday, August 3rd.

The pool of about 30 well-known local artists will encompass more styles than just plein air paintings, and we’re showcasing smaller pieces of art (great for those with less wall space!), and hoping to capture folks (like Camden visitors!) wherever they are, either in town or from afar.

On Exhibit: “Northern Silence” Photography by Zach Hand

Explore the vast beauty of northern British Columbia during the exhibit “Northern Silence” by photographer Zach Hand this June* in the Picker Room Gallery.

“Northern British Columbia is an extremely vast landscape. One that carries its peaceful state as far as the eye can see, and as far as you can hear,” says Zach. “This selection reminds me of each footstep taken and each mile flown. Each sunrise and sunset, each sun flare and torrential downpour. It is a place that truly made me pause, focusing both on what I was seeing and hearing.”

Zach Hand is a 26 year old Midcoast native with an immense passion for capturing both raw places and those who find themselves experiencing them.

*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.
