Trad Music Jam: June 6th at the Library

Flyer for the Trad Music Jam: first and third Saturdays, 10:30am at the Library. Bring your guitar, mandolin, fiddle, flute, bass, whatever. Led by Benjamin Foss.
Flyer for Float It Forward. Donate a kayak or paddleboard to Unity Public Library. What is a "Library of Things"? It's like a library, but instead of books, you can borrow gear. Our Library of Things lets community members borrow outdoor recreation equipment, so more people can safely enjoy our lakes and rivers. We need kayaks and paddleboards for the Library of Things! We're building our community fleet and we need single or tandem kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and all sizes of paddles and life jackets, in good safe working condition. Your donation helps more neighbors get outside, explore the water, and connect with nature. Have a kayak or paddleboard to donate? Contact Unity Public Library and we'll follow up with details about drop-off or pickup.

Art Exhibit: May 23rd

Flyer for the "We Are River People" art exhibit. The Unity Public Library is celebrating artwork around the global theme "We Are River People" for the month of May. Artists' Reception on Saturday, May 23rd, 2:00 to 4:00pm. Walk over from the World Migratory Fish Day concurrent activities with Waldo County Soil and Water Conservation District and Sebasticook Regional Land Trust at the Community Center to see the art and meet the artists while enjoying light refreshments. World Fish Migration Day is a global biennial celebration to raise awareness about the importance of open river systems and the migratory fish that rely on them. This local event will focus on the Sebasticook River and the fascinating relationship between alewives and freshwater mussels.
