WRITE ON

Enjoy putting pen to paper with your thoughts and stories?  Join us for a different kind of writing group, that will meet once a month.

Creative writing prompts will be given at the end of each meeting. When we meet, we will discuss our findings, share our writing, and get to know our own unique inner talents!  Give us a call at 967-2778 or send an email to mlbgraves@gmail.com to get on board.

Each of us has a story to tell. We would like to invite you to transform those images and memories into stories or essays, for some of you, maybe even poetry.  We might begin with this prompt: “I don’t know why I remember but . . .” Memories are a great way to tap into the creative process and this type of writing often leads to more imaginative writing. What we decide to do with these exercises will be up to you!

SUMMER MUSIC SERIES – DANA PEARSON

We can’t let the summer end without doing one last Summer Music Series concert! The music continues with Dana Pearson on Wednesday, August 24th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. Join us for some good vibes and live music in the garden at Graves Library.  Bring your friends, bring your chair, sit back, tap your feet, and listen to some local beat.  Let’s celebrate summer, our community, and our fondness for talented artists right in our own back yard! Dana is a guitarist and plays a little bit of everything.

A suggested donation of $10 pp would be appreciated.  This event will be held indoors in our Community Room in the event of inclement weather (if this is the case, no need to bring your own chair!).  Any questions, please call the Library (967-2778) or email Mary-Lou Boucouvalas at mlbgraves@gmail.com.  The Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport.  Parking is available on Maine Street or at Consolidated School.
