Director’s Report
I
t has been a year of innovation at Camden Public Library.
While we continue the ongoing and important work of
engaging our community to read, connect, and discover, we
have also introduced an array of new programs, resources,
and services in 2014. This past year we launched:
Bestseller Express ~
We listened to your requests for on-demand access to the
hottest titles around. With no waiting list, you can check-out
any item on the express table for one week--great for those
looking for the newest books or with limited time.
3-M CLoud Library ~
A new source of e-reading with bestsellers available
on-demand for your personal e-reading device. Library Director, Nikki Maounis
StoryCorps ~
Civil War Encampment ~
As featured on National Public Radio, the StoryCorps team
was here recording unique stories for their national project.
We are proud to help preserve Maine’s living oral history.
The 20th Maine Regiment brought Civil War stories to life
with a three-day interactive experience in Harbor Park. It
was enthusiastically embraced by young and old alike.
Lincoln Exhibit ~
Fizz, Boom, Read ~
The most popular summer program in years included
math and science as well as reading. Miss Amy had
an enthusiastic group of children making, loving, and
launching their Mentos rockets.
More than 27,000 visitors viewed this nationally acclaimed
exhibit, created in observance of the 150th anniversary of
the Civil War. It was an honor to be among the few libraries
nationwide selected to host this travelling exhibit.
These kids seriously loved building and decorating their own rockets to launch in Harbor Park

Director’s Report
Camden Shakespeare Festival~
After an absence of 30+ years, Shakespeare was back
in the Amphitheatre. In July and August, appreciative
audiences enjoyed a memorable musical comedy with As
You Like It set in 1960s America.
Monarch Madness ~
A butterfly life-cycle project that was embraced by families
with kids of all ages. Each tiny butterfly was adopted
and nurtured through to its tagging and release in the
Amphitheatre. The success of this program assures its
return in 2015.
Harbor Arts & Books ~
The library team stepped-up to host this art and book fair,
and did so with flying colors. Through wind and rain the
red-beret wearing volunteers made sure that artists and
fair-goers had a wonderful weekend. Artists are telling their
friends and signing up to return this coming October.
Seed Library ~
Camden Public Library Annual Report
2014
In the dead of winter, novice and experienced gardeners
were able to borrow seeds and books for planning their very
own garden. Workshops covered introductory gardening,
seed saving, and more.
”It is such a privilege to belong to
Quarry Hill resident
a good library.”
These are just the highlights of an extraordinarily busy
year, illustrating that our library is a dynamic and evolving
public resource. We are at the heart of the community with
education, programs, and services that help make Camden
the unique place that it is today.
2014 was a Five Star Year!
Library staff is extremely dedicated to their work. They
strive to excel at customer service, program content,
community building and more. While it may seem easy,
as we have been awarded Five-Star status for many years
now, we are once again humbled and honored to receive
this prestigious award based on measurable success.

Financial Reporting ~
The library has procedures in place that assure ongoing reviews of financial reporting during
the fiscal year. The Finance Committee meets regularly to understand the details of the library’s
financial status. In addition, periodic audits are performed to provide an outside review of both
our accounting procedures and the resultant financial reports.

the best library
on the planet!

C
amden Public Library’s youth programs include
a huge variety of activities--all with the goal of
preparing children to be strong readers. Data shows that
those who read proficiently by grade three have a much
higher rate of success both in school and later as adults.
The most effective and fun way to achieve this is by
introducing children to books at an early age. The library
offers five weekly Story Hours for infants, toddlers, and
young children, and additional story hours for special
education groups. Always engaging, care-givers, parents
and teachers look forward to Story Hour and make it part
of their children’s weekly routine. Our children’s librarians
often include songs and thematic craft activities to
encourage creative thinking and participation. Camden Public Library Annual Report
2014
International Dot Day was a big hit with kids of all ages
“Such a great job on this year’s summer
reading program! ...anything that gets my
kids excited about reading is something
Gretchen
to cherish and embrace.”
Cooperative exploration is a valuable part of reading readiness
The Children’s Room is busy every day with kids and
parents who come to meet, connect, and discover new
books, discovery kits, and other learning materials. Children
and family programs continue to draw record numbers,
with 10,064 participants in 2014. These successful programs
have grown consistently, now serving 72% more people
than in 2008.
This year’s new program on butterflies, Monarch Madness,
was a wonderful interactive learning opportunity for the
whole family. So much was experienced by adopting a
tiny caterpillar, watching its life-cycle, and cheering on the
emerging butterflies as seen in off-hours by live webcam.
A Butterfly Tea Party was held to celebrate the butterfly
tagging and release in the Amphitheatre. This successful
project is already being planned again for summer 2015.
Young readers are learning how to learn, a lifelong skill

Ken Gross, Program Director
Cultural Events & Programs
T
he library staff work diligently to schedule and
coordinate public programs year-round that serve
a broad spectrum of audiences within Camden and
surrounding communities. From summer and winter
festivals, to lectures and talks, to art exhibitions, to musical
and theatrical performances, the library provides events
that are educational, entertaining, and community
building.
The most recent state-wide statistics of public libraries
show we are first in the state for drawing the largest
number of attendees to our programs. Both the quantity
and the quality of programs help to make this happen. It
is clear that our community values these programs and
we will continue to meet this need in 2015.
Coffeehouse Night consistently captivates the audience
Season Highlights:
• Winterfest – during a winter storm in the Amphitheatre
• Summer Music Series – July and August in
the Amphitheatre; with support from The First

T
he Civil War is always a popular topic with library members
and visitors. The events that shaped our nation are as
compelling and relevant as ever. The Walsh History Center
presented a full array of Civil War-related events in August.
Participation exceeded all expectations, with more than 27,000
people viewing the Lincoln exhibit in the Reading Room and
attending the indoor and outdoor programs.
History came to life in Harbor Park during August with the
20th Maine Infantry, Company B, re-enacting an encampment
for visitors. During the three days in the park, people had the
opportunity to visit with the soldiers and their families, learning
about our nation’s past, and experiencing a taste of life during
this key time in our history.
Many aspects of the Civil War were explored by eight speakers who
gave presentations on President Lincoln, the history of the era, civil
war medical practices, and more. There was standing room only for
these popular events, and requests for speakers to return.
Getting Kids Hooked on History
Camden Public Library Annual Report
2014
Working with library staff, Camden-Rockport students were
able to delve in to local history. They researched more than
twenty historical sites and then displayed their projects at
the library for family, friends and residents to enjoy. They also
enjoyed a variety of activities on the importance of history
and how it relates to their lives today.
These third grade students had lots of fun with interactive
learning. They had a diorama scavenger hunt, enjoyed story
time with ice-cream making, learned how old photos can tell
a story, and tested the audio design of the Amphitheatre. It is
only because of the extraordinary resources at our library that
we can provide this educational experience for our children.
“What a wonderful
surprise to encounter the
Lincoln exhibit here in
Camden. We are history
buffs and truly enjoyed
this new view on Lincoln.” - Visitor

“This is one of the finest libraries
I’ve ever seen - the energy and the
engagement are just wonderful!
- Visitor from Virginia

The Walsh History Center is an outstanding resource for those
interested in tracing family roots through genealogy research.
Also the repository for the history of local groups, such as the
Camden Garden Club, Megunticook Golf Club, and more, it
is this unique and irreplaceable memorabilia that makes the
center so special to Camden.
“In a constantly changing world,
reading is, and always will be,
an essential skill.”

These boats were referred to as “the Boston Boat”, as they ran regularly along the Maine coast taking passengers to and from Boston.

Mary Louise Curtis Bok
The land grant from Mary Louise Curtis Bok enabled the construction of the
Camden Public Library, Amphitheatre and Harbor Park.
A Community Hub
The library and grounds are so
much more than a library, thanks
in large part to Mary Louise
Curtis Bok. Mrs. Bok showed
both foresight and persistence,
spending years acquiring the
many contiguous lots needed
to provide ample space for her
vision. She was looking to create
a community hub, and gifted
enough land to the town to create
space for the library building, the
Amphitheatre, and Harbor Park.
Mrs. Bok then worked with
landscape architects to create
the extraordinary parks we
enjoy today. They have been the
centerpiece of the town since
their completion during the
depths of the Great Depression.

camera was not the norm, note the young girl on the far right who seems to be enjoying the moment.

With these parks under its
purview, the library is able to hold
events that reach thousands of
residents and visitors year-round.
Dave Jackson, Parks Director
Harbor Park & Amphitheatre
A
devastating storm blew through Camden in early
November, dumping heavy wet snow on the region’s
trees, many of which still had their fall foliage intact. The
unprecedented damage to Harbor Park and the Amphitheatre
was a blow to all who love this unique historical treasure. The
snow quickly melted, revealing broken and upended trees.
While we recognize that the park is a living, growing, and
ever-changing space, we also devote significant resources
to preserving the original design, living up to its National
Historic Landmark designation. The storm clean-up was
projected to be costly, so Dave Jackson and the staff reached
out to those who could help.
An appeal was sent to the library’s devoted members, and
many of you stepped up with additional gifts. Thank you.
We also reached out to the town for additional resources.
Currently we are working with town officials and applying
for grants designed to help with these issues. With these
efforts, we are well on our way to clearing the storm debris,
planting replacement trees, and readying the parks to once
again host events year-round.

Essential to our Library’s Success
The Camden Public Library is fortunate to have
a reliable team of volunteers helping with
the daily operations of preparing books for
circulation and reshelving returned materials.
Others plan special events such as the Book Sales
and Millay Society reception. Some volunteers
serve on committees and boards to ensure the
achievement of operational and financial goals.
The Camden Public Library is grateful to all our
volunteers for their time, talents, and dedication.
We just couldn’t make it all work without you!

Volunteers Welcome!
The library has volunteer opportunities for teens and
adults. Teens often help with re-shelving books or
assist with children’s activities. High school students
looking for community service can apply at the
circulation desk for volunteer work.
Adults have a full range of choices, including reshelving, filling hold orders, delivering to shut-in
members, and more. Events like the Maker Faire,
Winterfest, Harbor Arts & Books, and the book sales
all need strong helpers to set up tables and more.
To learn more about your volunteer opportunities,
call the library at 236-3440.

Book Sales
Book sales were an important fundraising activity for the
library in 2014. The combination of online sales, tent sales,
and the occasional rotunda sale earned the library more than
$24,000 last year.
Book Sale Coordinator, Don White, once again led the
volunteers in this massive logistical effort to plan and
execute these important fundraisers.
“We are so fortunate to work here
at Camden Public Library. It’s a
great team and we have such
wonderful volunteers here with
us every week.”

Early Learning a Priority
The library provides educational resources for
students of all ages. From Senior College to
Booktime for Babies, and all ages in between,
close to 25,000 people participated in library
programs in 2014.
High on the priority list for our community
is the emphasis on early education which is
known to:
~ prepare children to read well by grade 3, a known measure of success in both school and employment
~ strengthen families across socio-economic levels throughout the Midcoast
~ create life-long learners and adept problem solvers when facing challenges
Annual donations fund programs like these
each year, supporting the library’s wide
variety of programs, services, and resources.
In addition to seeking annual gifts, the library
is also focusing on growing the endowment
fund. This will assure that there is stable longterm funding for all the programs so highly
valued by residents of and visitors to Camden.

variety of artistic, community, educational, and
social groups. The newly updated Jean Picker
Room is always in demand as a meeting and
program space, often booked for two or three
events in a day. 2014 was a banner year for
collaboration with town departments, committees,
schools, and more:
