This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Tim Caverly, author and storyteller, for his captivating presentation:
“So You Think You Know Maine!”

📚 DISCOVER the birthplace of Bambi, mysterious ice caves, ghost railroads, ancient pictographs, swirling oceanic whirlpools—and tales that could only come from classic Maine.
🔍 LEARN why there’s a cove in Washington County called Bailey’s Mistake, and where the dramatic “Lexington of the Seas” unfolded!

Whether you're a lifelong Mainer or just love a good story, you won’t want to miss this fascinating journey through the hidden history and lore of our great state.

💬 Stick around afterward for Q&A and a lively discussion with Tim!

We can’t wait to explore Maine with you!

You never know what will happen when a group of mystery fans get together to discuss their latest book. There's sure to be food, laughter, lively discussions and different takes on the same passage. The books vary, from cozies to hard boilers, Victorian to present day, or paranormal mysteries to historical espionage. We all read the book and each month take turns bringing food, beverages and research on the author. Sometimes our research provides a delightful surprise, such as a chance to speak with the author. The Old Town Public Library Mystery Book Club meets once a month on Thursdays, September through May from 5:30pm-7:30pm. All are welcome.

A good book, great conversation, and a welcoming group of readers—that’s what you’ll find at the Blue Argyles Book Club. We read a variety of thought-provoking books, from literary fiction to memoirs and historical narratives. Recent selections have included Wayward by Emelia Hart, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, and This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. Our discussions are engaging and insightful, offering a space to share perspectives, ask big questions, and explore the deeper themes of each book.

The Blue Argyles meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 10:30 AM. If you're interested in joining, please contact Codi at codibadger@old-town.org or call the Library at (207) 827-3972. New members are always welcome!

Bring your knitting, crocheting, or other handiwork, and enjoy the lively conversation.
