The Auburn Public Library is proud to offer a reading and discussion group during which we will focus on connecting and building community. What attributes do we share which connect us as members of a local community? How can we gain a greater understanding of and empathy for one another? Our reflections will be based on books, poetry, articles, and a film or two, and will touch upon four key components: connection, empathy, diversity, and community. Any books or articles we read will be provided to the group members, and the books are for participants to either keep for their personal library or to share with someone else.
Our monthly discussions will be facilitated by James Ford, a black man who has spent over 40 years in Maine and works as a Restorative Practices Coordinator in Lewiston. Dylan Welch, an English major at Bowdoin College will also be joining us each month. Dylan brings with him a love of poetry which will be woven into our monthly meetings.
Meetings will be held monthly, the 3rd Thursday of each month, September through May, and will be held via Zoom. The book group is open to teens (ages 16 and up) and adults.
This program is made possible by a grant from the Maine Public Library Fund.

The Auburn Public Library is please to host local Maine author, Bryce Moore!
Bryce Moore is the author of The Memory Thief and Vodník. When he’s not authoring, he’s a librarian in Western Maine and a past president of the Maine Library Association. And when he’s not up to his nose in library work, he’s watching movies, playing board games, and paying ridiculous amounts of money feeding his Magic the Gathering addiction. Check out his daily blog for writing tips, movie reviews, and general rantings over at brycemoore.com
Bryce will talk about his books (including his most recent release), the writing process, and inspirations behind his work! There will be a reading and book signing at the end! His recent release, The Perfect Place to Die, is about a girl on a quest to save her sister. But in order to do so, she must take a job at an infamous house of horrors - one that she may never escape from! It's a must-read for fans of true crime, horror, and the Stalking Jack the Ripper series, making it the perfect book to read for the spooky season!
Copies of The Perfect Place to Die will be available for the first 10 teens to register for the event! Bryce will also have additional copies for purchase at the end of the program.

The Auburn Public Library is proud to offer a reading and discussion group during which we will focus on connecting and building community. What attributes do we share which connect us as members of a local community? How can we gain a greater understanding of and empathy for one another? Our reflections will be based on books, poetry, articles, and a film or two, and will touch upon four key components: connection, empathy, diversity, and community. Any books or articles we read will be provided to the group members, and the books are for participants to either keep for their personal library or to share with someone else.

The Camden Conference and the Auburn Public Library invite you to a presentation by Francesco Duina, Professor of Sociology and European Studies at Bates College. He has held appointments at Harvard University, Copenhagen Business School, and the University of British Columbia (where he was Professor and Head of Sociology from 2013-2015). He is the author of nearly 30 articles in leading academic journals, op-ed pieces in newspapers such as the LA Times and The Guardian, and six books. The most recent is Broke and Patriotic: Why Poor Americans Love Their Country (Stanford University Press, 2018).
Right-wing populist parties have scored major victories in Europe. What can explain their success? This talk will explore a rarely discussed factor: their surprising ability to weave right-wing ideologies with left-wing or progressive positions. These positions include support for gays, gender equality, and generous welfare policies. Why and how do these parties do this? We will consider the cases of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, the National Rally in France, and the Sweden Democrats. In the conclusion, we will reflect on whether any of these observations apply to Donald Trump.
This program will take place in person, in the Androscoggin Community Room. For our planning purposes, registration is required. To register, click the link below or email dwallace@auburnpubliclibrary.org.
The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues.
The 2022 conference “Europe: Challenged at Home and Abroad” will take place February 25-27, 2022, and will be in person, in Camden, Maine. For more details on this Conference, visit their website at camdenconference.org.
