Community Calendar

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).

Led by the incredible poet and author Robert Breen, this welcoming writers group is open to all—whether you’re just starting out or deep into a manuscript. Bring your works in progress, share your voice, and receive supportive, thoughtful feedback in a relaxed and inspiring setting. Together, we’ll explore storytelling, poetry, memory, and the written word in all its forms. Come to listen, come to write, come to connect.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening with The Navy Band Sea Chanters, the U.S. Navy’s premier chorus, performing a free concert at the Sanford Performign Arts Center at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 5.

Known for their impeccable harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and versatile repertoire, the Sea Chanters perform everything from traditional choral works and rousing patriotic anthems to sea chanteys, opera, Broadway showstoppers, and contemporary favorites. Based in Washington, D.C., the Sea Chanters perform for presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, military leaders, and international dignitaries. They also inspire audiences nationwide on their acclaimed national tours. Formed in 1956 to preserve the songs of the sea, the ensemble has grown into one of America’s most celebrated choral groups—expanding their repertoire to embrace everything from Brahms to Broadway, and bringing a spirit of excellence and pride to every performance.
