|
| Event Location: |
Rockport Opera House |
| Contact: |

rpl@rockport.lib.me.us |
|
Professor Liam Riordan will give an illustrated presentation that explores the long statehood process in Maine that culminated in 1820 with formal separation from Massachusetts. That struggle engaged a range of challenging public issues that are still recognizable in contemporary Maine politics and culture. The talk focuses on four themes that bridge 200 years in telling ways:
- the "two Maines" and sharp partisan conflict
- the explosive place of slavery vis-a-vis the Maine-Missouri Compromise
- Wabanaki sovereignty
- the uncertain location of the international border to at least 1842.
Liam received his undergraduate B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley, and his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. He has been a faculty member in the Department of History at the University of Maine in Orono since 1997.

The Rockport Public Library will be hosting Gypsy, a registered therapy dog, on August 10th and 24th from 1 - 2. Did you know therapy dogs are beneficial to children? They reduce blood pressure! They increase self-esteem! Gypsy loves listening to books - and if you would like to listen to a book along with Gypsy, or even read a book to Gypsy, then head back to the children's reading room and we'll see you then!

With nearly 450 species of birds recorded, Maine offers an abundance of birding opportunities for people of all levels of interest and experience. From mountaintop to barrier beach, from “The County” and the Crown of Maine to the southwest coastal plain, a wide variety of birds can be found.
Join Derek Lovitch, author of Birdwatching in Maine and How to be a Better Birder, as he shares stories and tips on birdwatching in Maine.
Derek’s lifelong passion for birding has inspired his careers as a biologist, author, tour guide, and business owner. He has served as the Tools of the Trade department editor for Birding Magazine, and his writing has appeared in many other birding magazines. He and his wife, Jeannette, own and operate Freeport Wild Bird Supply, an independent bird-feeding and birding specialty shop that serves as a vehicle for promoting birding and bird conservation.
