It took over three years to adopt his first son, Aloysha, from Russia, and adopting a second son, Anton, from the Ukraine was equally fraught.

Come hear Robert’s firsthand account of the intricacies of international adoption. Perfect for anyone considering adoption, or who has gone through the process themselves.

In his own words, “Arend resides in Harmony, Maine with his wife and has been a professional photographer since 1996. His award-winning photography has been featured in galleries as far away as Greece and he has been published in multiple genres ranging from wildlife to portraiture. As a writer, Arend has published poetry, non-fiction, and academic works. He graduated summa cum laude with a degree in English Literature and he holds a membership in multiple honor societies, including Sigma Tau Delta, The International English Honor Society.

Come learn Kinusaiga with us! Registration required, 12 and older only.

In kinusaiga, a pattern is drawn onto foam board and then scored. Fabric scraps are then placed over the sections and the edges tucked in, creating the look of stained glass with fabric! This is a great craft for using up fabric scraps.

The library will supply foam board and adhesive (for a smoother look), as well as some fabric scraps. Please bring a seam ripper or letter opener, fabric scissors, utility knife, a simple stained glass pattern and fabric scraps with you.

There is no fee for the class, but preregistration is required as class size is limited to 12. Participants must be 12 or older.
