Camden Public Library

Director’s Report

t has been a year of innovation at Camden Public Library. While we continue the ongoing and important work of engaging our community to read, connect, and discover, we have also introduced an array of new programs, resources, and services in 2014. This past year we launched: Bestseller Express ~We listened to your requests for on-demand access to the hottest titles around. With no waiting list, you can check-out any item on the express table for one week--great for those looking for the newest books or with limited time. 3-M CLoud Library ~A new source of e-reading with bestsellers available on-demand for your personal e-reading device. 

StoryCorps ~As featured on National Public Radio, the StoryCorps team was here recording unique stories for their national project. We are proud to help preserve Maine’s living oral history.

Lincoln Exhibit ~More than 27,000 visitors viewed this nationally acclaimed exhibit, created in observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. It was an honor to be among the few libraries nationwide selected to host this travelling exhibit.

Civil War Encampment ~The 20th Maine Regiment brought Civil War stories to life with a three-day interactive experience in Harbor Park. It was enthusiastically embraced by young and old alike.

Fizz, Boom, Read ~The most popular summer program in years included math and science as well as reading. Miss Amy had an enthusiastic group of children making, loving, and launching their Mentos rockets.

2014

Camden Shakespeare Festival~After an absence of 30+ years, Shakespeare was back in the Amphitheatre. In July and August, appreciative audiences enjoyed a memorable musical comedy with As You Like It set in 1960s America.

Monarch Madness ~A butterfly life-cycle project that was embraced by families with kids of all ages. Each tiny butterfly was adopted and nurtured through to its tagging and release in the Amphitheatre. The success of this program assures its return in 2015.

Harbor Arts & Books ~ The library team stepped-up to host this art and book fair, and did so with flying colors. Through wind and rain the red-beret wearing volunteers made sure that artists and fair-goers had a wonderful weekend. Artists are telling their friends and signing up to return this coming October.

Seed Library ~In the dead of winter, novice and experienced gardeners were able to borrow seeds and books for planning their very own garden. Workshops covered introductory gardening, seed saving, and more.

These are just the highlights of an extraordinarily busy year, illustrating that our library is a dynamic and evolving public resource. We are at the heart of the community with education, programs, and services that help make Camden the unique place that it is today. 2014 was a Five Star Year!Library staff is extremely dedicated to their work. They strive to excel at customer service, program content, community building and more. While it may seem easy, as we have been awarded Five-Star status for many years now, we are once again humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award based on measurable success.

2014

Youth Programs

amden Public Library’s youth programs include a huge variety of activities--all with the goal of

preparing children to be strong readers. Data shows that those who read proficiently by grade three have a much higher rate of success both in school and later as adults.

The most effective and fun way to achieve this is by introducing children to books at an early age. The library offers five weekly Story Hours for infants, toddlers, and young children, and additional story hours for special education groups. Always engaging, care-givers, parents and teachers look forward to Story Hour and make it part of their children’s weekly routine. Our children’s librarians often include songs and thematic craft activities to encourage creative thinking and participation. 

The Children’s Room is busy every day with kids and parents who come to meet, connect, and discover new books, discovery kits, and other learning materials. Children and family programs continue to draw record numbers, with 10,064 participants in 2014. These successful programs have grown consistently, now serving 72% more people than in 2008.

This year’s new program on butterflies, Monarch Madness, was a wonderful interactive learning opportunity for the whole family. So much was experienced by adopting a tiny caterpillar, watching its life-cycle, and cheering on the emerging butterflies as seen in off-hours by live webcam. A Butterfly Tea Party was held to celebrate the butterfly tagging and release in the Amphitheatre. This successful project is already being planned again for summer 2015. Ca

Cultural Events & Programs

he library staff work diligently to schedule and coordinate public programs year-round that serve

a broad spectrum of audiences within Camden and surrounding communities. From summer and winter festivals, to lectures and talks, to art exhibitions, to musical and theatrical performances, the library provides events that are educational, entertaining, and community building.

The most recent state-wide statistics of public libraries show we are first in the state for drawing the largest number of attendees to our programs. Both the quantity and the quality of programs help to make this happen. It is clear that our community values these programs and we will continue to meet this need in 2015.

Season Highlights: • Winterfest – during a winter storm in the Amphitheatre• Summer Music Series – July and August in the Amphitheatre; with support from The First• Summer Movies Series – July /August in the Amphitheatre, thanks to Allen Insurance & Financial• Lincoln Exhibit and Civil War series - with an historical re-enactment in Harbor Park, with 27,000 attendees• Camden Shakespeare Festival - open-air musical comedy production of As You Like It set in1960’s America• Midcoast Mini-Maker Faire - family fun with everything from hands-on to high tech interactive learning• Harbor Arts & Books - juried arts fair and book sale event• Wellness Brown Bag Lunch Series – in partnership with Destination Wellness Midcoast Maine

he Civil War is always a popular topic with library members and visitors. The events that shaped our nation are as

compelling and relevant as ever. The Walsh History Center presented a full array of Civil War-related events in August. Participation exceeded all expectations, with more than 27,000 people viewing the Lincoln exhibit in the Reading Room and attending the indoor and outdoor programs.

History came to life in Harbor Park during August with the 20th Maine Infantry, Company B, re-enacting an encampment for visitors. During the three days in the park, people had the opportunity to visit with the soldiers and their families, learning about our nation’s past, and experiencing a taste of life during this key time in our history.

Many aspects of the Civil War were explored by eight speakers who gave presentations on President Lincoln, the history of the era, civil war medical practices, and more. There was standing room only for these popular events, and requests for speakers to return.

Getting Kids Hooked on History

Working with library staff, Camden-Rockport students were able to delve in to local history. They researched more than twenty historical sites and then displayed their projects at the library for family, friends and residents to enjoy. They also enjoyed a variety of activities on the importance of history and how it relates to their lives today.

These third grade students had lots of fun with interactive learning. They had a diorama scavenger hunt, enjoyed story time with ice-cream making, learned how old photos can tell a story, and tested the audio design of the Amphitheatre. It is only because of the extraordinary resources at our library that we can provide this educational experience for our children.

Walsh History Center Heather Moran, Archivist

The Walsh History Center is an outstanding resource for those interested in tracing family roots through genealogy research. Also the repository for the history of local groups, such as the Camden Garden Club, Megunticook Golf Club, and more, it is this unique and irreplaceable memorabilia that makes the center so special to Camden.

These boats were referred to as “the Boston Boat”, as they ran regularly along the Maine coast taking passengers to and from Boston.

The land grant from Mary Louise Curtis Bok enabled the construction of the

Camden Public Library, Amphitheatre and Harbor Park.

camera was not the norm, note the young girl on the far right who seems to be enjoying the moment.

A Community Hub

The library and grounds are so much more than a library, thanks in large part to Mary Louise Curtis Bok. Mrs. Bok showed both foresight and persistence, spending years acquiring the many contiguous lots needed to provide ample space for her vision. She was looking to create a community hub, and gifted enough land to the town to create space for the library building, the Amphitheatre, and Harbor Park.

Mrs. Bok then worked with landscape architects to create the extraordinary parks we enjoy today. They have been the centerpiece of the town since their completion during the depths of the Great Depression.

With these parks under its purview, the library is able to hold events that reach thousands of residents and visitors year-round.

devastating storm blew through Camden in early November, dumping heavy wet snow on the region’s

trees, many of which still had their fall foliage intact. The unprecedented damage to Harbor Park and the Amphitheatre was a blow to all who love this unique historical treasure. The snow quickly melted, revealing broken and upended trees.

While we recognize that the park is a living, growing, and ever-changing space, we also devote significant resources to preserving the original design, living up to its National Historic Landmark designation. The storm clean-up was projected to be costly, so Dave Jackson and the staff reached out to those who could help.

An appeal was sent to the library’s devoted members, and many of you stepped up with additional gifts. Thank you. We also reached out to the town for additional resources. Currently we are working with town officials and applying for grants designed to help with these issues. With these efforts, we are well on our way to clearing the storm debris, planting replacement trees, and readying the parks to once again host events year-round.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING HARBOR PARK AND THE AMPHITHEATRE TO RECOVER AND THRIVE!

The Camden Public Library is fortunate to have a reliable team of volunteers helping with the daily operations of preparing books for circulation and reshelving returned materials. Others plan special events such as the Book Sales and Millay Society reception. Some volunteers serve on committees and boards to ensure the achievement of operational and financial goals. The Camden Public Library is grateful to all our volunteers for their time, talents, and dedication. We just couldn’t make it all work without you!

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers. You help make it all possible--we so appreciate your dedicated efforts.
