Portside Readers Presents Who Does Not Like to be Read a Story?  Remember how great it was to be read to as a child?  Now you can relive that joyful experience as an adult!  Just tune us in and tune out the world for a few minutes of well-chosen words. Graves Library presents a merry band of readers to share a story, maybe some music, or parts of a play each Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. on Facebook, Youtube, and the local cable channels 2 and 1301. Tune in, sit back, and listen to a diverse mix of quality stories, poems, tales, essays, drama, songs, and more by the Portside Readers, a small group of local actors, writers, book club members, and a musician who love the written word and want to share the joys of reading and listening.  Readers include Steven Price, Val Reid, Bob Danzilo, Karen Stathoplos, Cynthia Graves, Bob Domine, Joe Foster, Bart Weyand, Nancy Viehmann, and Pam Thompson. www.graveslibrary.org You are in for a real treat!

Planting for Climate Resilience Wednesday, May 8, 5:30 PM  Together with our Friends of Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, we are very excited to be hosting members of the Wild Seed Project. In addition to helping to sustain vital pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, native plantings offer countless other benefits that are indispensable in the age of climate change. When created and maintained with ecologically attuned landscaping practices, they can minimize flooding and storm water runoff, shade and cool cities, survive droughts, and facilitate carbon storage more effectively than the landscapes dominated by turf and mulch that blanket so many of our communities. Andrea Berry from the Wild Seed Project will talk about the actions you can take to make your corner of the world more biodiverse and resilient to the effects of climate change. Andrea joined Wild Seed Project as the organization’s Executive Director in 2021. She also serves on the Board of Directors at Momentum Conservation and Resources for Organizing and Social Change. Copies of the publication “Planting for Climate Resilience” will be available for sale. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport. For further information, please call 967-2778 or visit our website at www.graveslibrary.org.
