SUMMARY:LOCAL AUTHOR- GEORGE LONGSTRETH\, MD - SEPTEMBER 11 @ 5:30 PM
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite Maine Author George Longstreth to Graves Library on Wednesday\, September 11 at 5:30 pm.  Dr. Longstreth will be here to talk about his latest work Shot Down Over The Soviet Union\, A Strategic Air Command Finally Revealed. \n \n  \nBorn and raised in Fairfield\, Connecticut\, George B. Longstreth\, MD earned his medical doctorate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in 1965. Spending six years in New York City\, first in Spanish Harlem\, then in Hell’s Kitchen\, he lived among many of the characters and events that he now uses in his novels. After a surgical stint in the US Navy\, followed by ten years in rural northwest Connecticut\, George and his wife Betsy enjoyed an active surgical practice in Fairfield during the 1980s and ’90s. This included on-call rotations to the Emergency Room at near-by Bridgeport Hospital\, where an unhealthy sampling of the drug-world underbelly came for urgent care. Betsy and George now live in active retirement in Kennebunkport\, Maine\, where they are kept busy by family (including 19 grandchildren)\, friends\, unusual characters and happenings\, and a dog named Jane. \nCopies of the book will be available for sale and signing. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street\, Kennebunkport. For further information\, please call 967-2778 or visit www.graveslibrary.org. \n

SUMMARY:MAINE ARTIST WADE ZAHARES - SEPTEMBER 14 @ 2:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:THE PATSY BRAY MAHONEY LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS \nWe are so excited to invite the very talented Maine Artist Wade Zahares to Graves Library on Saturday\, September 14 at 2 PM. \nWade works exclusively in pastels; he is drawn to the intimacy of the chalk and the ease with which he can blend colors. The magic happens in his studio\, a converted shed just off his main house. The studio\, equipped with 15-foot ceilings and a house gutter to catch all the pastel dust\, is set on 5 1/2 acres of farmland in Lyman\, Maine\, just a few miles from the Kennebunk farm on which he grew up. When Wade needs a break\, he goes for a drive to soak up the New England landscape—his biggest inspiration—or tends to his flowers\, gardens\, and fruit trees. Then he returns to his studio\, refreshed and ready to make more magic. \nWade will be here to talk about his work and his passion and demonstrate how he goes about his craft. \nLight refreshments will be provided by the Graves Library Snack Team. Please call the Library for more information on this event and the rest of the series (967-2778). \nParking is available along Maine Street\, the North Street Fire Station Parking Lot\, and Consolidated School (Route 9). \nThe Graves Library is located at 18 Maine Street\, Kennebunkport\, Maine. Please enter through the white door in the Parking Lot.

SUMMARY:AUTHOR EVENT - LOU SALOME - NOVEMBER 14 @ 5:30 PM

Mr. Lou\, as he was known in foreign climes\, hitched to college for two years in the late fifties\, hitched into and out of battle zones in Asia\, Africa\, and Europe in the nineties\, and hitched for fun\, but with little success\, in the New Hampshire woods in 2004 while writing books. A newspaper reporter and editor for thirty-five years and an author since 2010\, Lou has written three books\, the latest about his hitching experiences\, the lost art of hitchhiking\, and the social and economic changes that doomed the art. As the editorial page editor of The Miami (FL) News\, Lou Salome won numerous journalism prizes. In 1981 and 1984\, he won the National Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award for Editorial Writing.
