Color as Expression: Beyond Realism

Begins Tuesday, November 4, 2025 | 10 AM – 1 PM | $280
Designed for artists looking to loosen up and explore the passionate potential of color, this course channels Matisse’s love of vivid, sometimes unexpected color combinations. Students will practice using brushwork and color relationships to express mood and personality in everyday subjects, moving beyond realism to discover a more personal, expressive style.

This course is designed for painters at all levels, from beginners looking to build confidence to more experienced artists eager to deepen their practice. All classes take place at Nadra Clark Gallery, 256 US-1, Scarborough, Maine.

A weekly gathering of friends, coffee, and games, for patrons 55 and up. Don't forget to ask for your FREE cup of drip coffee or tea. A part of our Community Thursday programming.

Drop-in Mahjongg game (every week when enough players rsvp and library is open).
All levels of experience welcome (beginners given instruction).
We play Asian/Chinese style (easier to learn than American mahjong & no need to purchase annual card).
We have multiple sets of tiles, so can accommodate extra players.
RSVP: text/call [207-572-2414](tel:207-572-2414) to confirm group is meeting on any given date. Or take a chance and drop-in (same time as Library's boardgame event so other games can be played).

Join us at Owlbear's Rest to learn new games and make friends who ALSO love games!
Every other Wednesday: Weekly One-Shots with Kass! Join Owlbear staff member Kass to play a game that can be completed in one session.
Thursdays: The Teach Series! Owlbear staff member Drew will lead a variety of games so that you will know how to play them with friends in the future!

Free Books Saturday is a day to browse free gently used and sorted, good quality books for all ages.

Celebrate the conclusion to the Falmouth Memorial Library's Great State of Illustration in Maine art exhibit! Come challenge Illustration Institute's co-founder author/illustrator Scott Nash and a surprise guest with your silliest requests for a drawing. In front of the crowd, Scott and his guest will draw your idea (to the best of their ability on the spot!) without seeing each other's interpretation - yet you will see both. An entertaining event that cheers on creativity in action and the notion that there are, indeed, many ways to draw a unicorn riding a bicycle in a snowstorm! Join us as we close our exhibition with a lively celebration of illustration. You won't want to miss the final program in the Illustration Institute Great Slate of Programming series!

All ages are welcome. Registration is required. Register at https://falmouth.librarycalendar.com/IIDrawoff

This American Legion Post #36 Breakfast Buffet has been a tradition spanning many years now. Aside from a few minor unforeseen and unavoidable changes, most everything else remains the same. All who enter the Legion Hall doors on a Breakfast Buffet Sunday, will get a great meal for a fair price/donation, get to see old friends and/or family, or meet someone interesting for the first time. The menu items have satisfied many folks over the years, and I have no doubt that this year will be no different. So come and enjoy the Legion Buffet Breakfast this season, enjoy the food, enjoy the camaraderie, and learn how you (Yes, You) can play a key role in this year's breakfast season - or next year's season. There are a number of very important people who make these breakfasts a success each year, if you have any interest in becoming a volunteer or member of the breakfast crew - ask for the least important person in the mix (Christopher) when you arrive for breakfast. These breakfast buffets take place every other Sunday starting on April 2, 2025.

Owlbear’s Rest is usually an escape from adulting for grown-ups—except on Sunday mornings! Bring the whole crew for a game-filled adventure that’s perfect for adventurers of any age. Your little halflings can enjoy a warm steamer while you sip on a well-earned latte (oat milk available!).

Family gaming time starts here!

✨ Keep an eye on our social media—some sessions will feature special organized activities just for kiddos!
