What’s Your Story?
Have you heard about our Interview Show? Each week, our Library Director, Mary-Lou Boucouvalas, sits down with a community member and talks to them about where they came from, what they do, what their interests are, etc. A great way to get to know who lives in your neighborhood, attends your church, or waits on you at a local business. You never know who you might see on What’s Your Story? Tune in Monday evenings at 7:00 pm on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library’s Facebook page or YouTube channel or watch on the Town of Kennebunkport’s cable channel 1301.
Portside Readers
Who doesn’t like to be read a story? Listen to 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. Tune in Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library’s Facebook page or YouTube channel, or watch on the Town of Kennebunkport’s cable channel 1301. Please call the Library for more information on this creative collaboration of friends and neighbors!
