Our Library Story:

A Conversation with Suzanne Plaut

Saturday, October 26th, 2:30 p.m.

Suzanne Plaut has been a part of our library for nearly fifty years. She began as a volunteer, later
served as treasurer and in 1987 became the director, a post she held until recently. Join us as
Suzanne shares her memories of the library and the people who have made it the community
mainstay it is today. Not a dry recounting of dates and statistics, this informal event will be an
opportunity to learn how neighbors came together some 70 years ago to fulfill a dream of making
books and the power of reading accessible to all, an effort that has continued. Moreover, it will
be a story sharing time, a chance for us to share our own memories of this special place.
Light refreshments served.

Pauline  Cates: A Teaching Life in Rural Downeast
Saturday, November 16th at 2:30 p.m. 

Pauline displays her high school prom dress purchased at the Unobsky Department Store.

Pauline Cates taught area children for over fifty years , much of that time spent at the Whiting Village School. Join us as she tells the story of growing up in Cutler, times spent in Lubec, and years teaching at a well-regarded rural “school house,” soon to enter its 200th year. “Our two-room school house is situated at the center of a small village, next to a church and a cemetery. My classroom windows over-looked a millpond, and three old apple trees border our playground….,” she wrote in 1991.
Join us for refreshments and an opportunity to meet Pauline following the presentation.
