Community Calendar

We cover the basics of West Coast Swing dancing in the first class and expand on them in the intermediate class for those with some experience. It is a relaxed atmosphere with the emphasis on having fun. We encourage people to come with a partner however, singles are welcome.

Join us for an engaging morning conversation with Casco Baykeeper Ivy Frignoca, Staff Scientist Mike Doan, and Community Organizer Sara Freshley as they connect the dots between data, local observations, and how science guides our work to advocate for Casco Bay. Bring your favorite breakfast and coffee and settle in for this “science and cereal”–style webinar.

Ivy and Mike will walk through highlights from 2025 using both continuous and seasonal monitoring, sharing what the data is telling us about climate change, ocean acidification, and stormwater pollution in Casco Bay. They’ll also talk about recent upgrades to our monitoring work, including new telemetry equipment and advances in our eelgrass monitoring. Sara will bring in how data collected by Water Reporters fits alongside our scientific monitoring, and share updates on new software that makes it easier to explore, understand, and use this data.

The team will leave time for questions, which they always enjoy!

Join the Lewiston Public Library for Baby Sensory Playtime in the Children’s Department every Thursday morning from 10am to 12pm, starting September 5th, 2024.

Drop-in and join us for Baby Sensory Playtime! Babies and their caregivers will have the opportunity to interact with a variety of sensory toys and socialize with other families with young children.

Playtime with sensory toys contributes to a baby’s cognitive development, fine motor skills, social and emotional development, creativity, and language development.

Recommended for babies ages birth-18 months and their caregivers. Siblings are always welcome. This program is free, open to the public and no registration is required.

The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street and Lisbon St.
