The Movie Queen

Saturday March 23 at 2:30 PM.

In recognition of Women’s History Month and the role that Lubec women have played in recording and preserving our town’s past, the library presents “The Lubec Movie Queen” a 1936 amateur, locally produced short film. The film highlights a bustling downtown Lubec – businesses, sardine plant workers, a parade through town and a whimsical drama starring local residents and the Movie Queen herself, Evangeline Morrison. Don’t miss this opportunity to see our town as it was eighty-eight years ago and learn how this remarkable piece of history was rescued from oblivion by Lubec resident Helen Burns.


Seed Library Open House

Saturday, April 20th from 11 AM to 1 PM

The Seed Library is gearing up for the second growing season; sponsored again by the Lubec Memorial Library, the Lubec Garden Club and the Lubec Community Outreach Center.  Thanks to generous donors we are continuing the gardening tradition here in Lubec.  We have seeds for every style of garden: organic, vegetable, herb, or flower.  We will be filling varieties as we receive them and should be fully stocked by mid-April.  Stop in often to see what’s available. If you have a special request let us know and we can try to find it for you. And if you have some seeds to donate, we will be happy to use them.
Join us on Saturday, April 20th from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Seed Library, which is located inside the Lubec Memorial Library near the service desk. We will have a garden raffle with some cute items and a garden club member will be on hand to answer questions on seed starting, gardening and use of the seed library.   Cookies and lemonade will be served also.
The seeds are arranged alphabetically.  We have seed envelopes and other supplies so that you can take just a few seeds, several seeds or an entire pack depending on your needs.  Start your garden here at the library! 
“Think small – plant tiny seeds in the small space you are given – you can change the world – or at least your view of it.”
