Children’s Programs

On Thursday, Aug. 4th, we hosted an Outreach Program from the L.C. Bates Museum at Good Will-Hinckley in Hinckley, Maine, titled “Life in the 1900s” at the library. They had clothing to try on, games to play and crafts to do. It was a very hands-on program and they showed what items were used in schools in the 1900s. Here are some of the pictures from that day: Our next event for children is an Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, Aug. 16th, at 11:30 bringing our Summer Reading to a close.

My name is Brian Files and I’m grateful to be asked to be a guest blogger on the Gardiner Public Library’s website. Last weekend, the 23rd of April, I got the chance to perform a mystery show at the Library. I’ve performed all over this state in Mysteries and Improv shows. Some in small venues to small crowds, others were large venues with over 200 plus people in attendance. But this show was something special. Not only was it at a location that I cherish in my hometown, but I also wrote the script and produced the show. And …
