Milton Bradley Program
Wednesday, May 20th 6:00-7:00pm

UMaine librarian John Hutchinson will join us for an entertaining presentation about Milton Bradley, the pioneering game maker who pioneered fun and educational games and later became a champion of the kindergarten movement. He was also a master lithographer and creative entrepreneur. This talk explores his remarkable life and legacy, with plenty of visuals—including a reproduction of his first hit board game, an early edition set of his popular Author Cards, and even a working zoetrope! Whether you’re a fan of board games, history, or inventors, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for the man behind the Milton Bradley Company.

Everyone Has a Story
Friday, May 22nd 1:00-3:00pm

Join Rev. Pat Bessey and Karen Swasey Jones for a heartfelt and inspiring program that invites us to slow down, reconnect, and explore the stories that shape our lives. Everyone Has a Story is a gentle guided experience where participants reflect on meaningful moments, open their hearts to new insight, and listen for the quiet wisdom within through simple prompts, reflection, and supportive conversation. This workshop is ideal for adults and elders who enjoy personal reflection, community connection, and meaningful conversation. No writing experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to explore.
