Yesterday

  1. The Wire Today
    • Calendar: Scarborough Public Library Adult Services
    • Start time: 06:30pm

    • The Wire Today: A Panel Discussion with Scholars Jason Mittell and Brian Purnell.

      The New Commons Project is a public humanities initiative of the University of Maine Farmington in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council. We are honored to host The Commons' conversation of the acclaimed HBO series, The Wire, written by David Simon and described as a “novel for television”. Professors Jason Mittell (Middlebury College) and Brian Purnell (Bowdoin College) will examine this seminal work’s depiction of the African American experience in a gritty Urban environment, and the filmography and writing structure used to enhance the series’ narrative. This event is free to attend. You can find complete seasons of The Wire on Minerva.

Tomorrow

  1. Drop-In Sketching Group
    • Calendar: Scarborough Public Library Adult Services
    • Start time: 10:00am

    • Noodling. Doodling. Dabbling. If a program description includes these words, you can be sure it will be relaxed and fun. Leave inhibitions behind and create free-form drawings, journal entries, small cards, or tiny books using simple items like a drawing pencil or roller ball pen and a notepad or journal.  While there is no “instructor” per se (again, this is a casual drop-in activity), we’ll be joined by Michael David Brown, a retired illustrator and Scarborough resident. This event is free to attend. Basic supplies will be available or bring your own.

  1. Genealogy Group
    • Calendar: Scarborough Public Library Adult Services
    • Start time: 01:00pm

    • Roots. Branches. Shoots. You may think we’re talking about trees – and in a way, we are. We’re talking about family trees! A new Scarborough Public Library Genealogy Group will be offered the fourth Monday of each month from 1:00pm to 3:00pm starting October 23, 2017. Whether you are just starting to explore your heritage or well into the process, this monthly “drop in” gathering will introduce you to vetted resources for ancestral research.

      The group will be facilitated by Don Taylor, a retired Information Technology Security Specialist who became interested in Genealogy in the 1970s. Since 2005, Don has focused on genealogical research, specializing in Internet research and genetic genealogy. He is a member of the Maine Genealogical Society (MGS), New England Historic Genealogical Society, and is on the Board of Directors of the Scarborough Historical Society (SHS) where he helps others research their Scarborough roots. Don also manages a personal genealogy blog.

      Join us and start exploring your family tree; it’s free to attend! FMI, contact Adult Reference at 883-4723 option 4, or email askSPL@scarboroughlibrary.org
