Community Library

A grant from the Davis Family Foundation has enabled the Stockton Springs Community Library to make improvements to “Mary’s Room,” the library’s Children’s Room. The room was named in honor of the late Mary Staples, one of the library’s main founders.

Upgrades include new standing bookcases made by Clyde L. Brooks, in addition to a new table and chairs. These improvements will enable the library to accommodate more children at programs and will allow for more work spaces for the children to engage in art and craft programs. The new bookcases will also allow younger children to shelve books, which was difficult to do with the former bin-type bookcases.

Don't forget the final two Tuesday story hours are on July 23 and July 30 from 9:30 to 11 a.m.

Stockton Springs has a great deal of shoreline from Stockton Harbor as far up as the Penobscot River in Sandy Point. Recently some lion jellyfish were found on the beach at Sandy Point and Dave Estes, our harbormaster, was called by the media to chat about the jellyfish.

There are about 15 women involved in the Women on the Water Program run by the Stockton Harbor Yacht Club. I went this past Tuesday night and was lucky enough to go out on the Red Jacket sailboat owned by John Funk. It was a lovely summer night on the water and we motored out to Penobscot Bay where John turned off the engine (a blissful moment to a sailor) and raised the sails. I miss going out into the bay sailing and Belle, our sailboat. If I can hitch a ride on a boat for a sail, that's what I will do.

One evening this week there was an eagle sitting in a tree on the harbor shoreline below me. An osprey kept flying at the eagle for a few minutes and the eagle would shake it off. The eagle grew tired of the game and flew off with the osprey in pursuit. So much nature to enjoy in our harbor!

Gardens are doing well now, and I have small tomatoes on my plants. Spent some time weeding this past week as the weeds always grow regardless of the weather. This weekend will be Harbor Days, so there will be lots of activities by the water — so come on down to the harbor park and enjoy supporting our community!
