UMaine faculty member Robert Klose joins us on Thursday, May 7th at 6PM in the Warren Community Room to share the challenges, highs and lows of adopting two sons as a single father.

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.

The Ann B. McGowan Maine Writers Series and the Pittsfield Public Library are proud to present a second evening with local Maine writer and photographer Arend Thibodeau. Most recently, Arend is the author and photographer of Maine’s Military Might and The Aroostook Arms Race, which capture in photographs the remains of Maine’s past strategic importance to military maneuvering.

Arend will present a fascinating slide show of his photographic work, as well as discuss his books, copies of which will be available for sale or signing at the talk. Come prepared to see a hidden side of Maine few have been privileged to discover!

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. When not working in the field, or writing, Arend enjoys teaching photography and playing bass with local rock bands.”

Come learn Kinusaiga with us! Registration required, 12 and older only.
2026-05-23 13:00 - 15:00 | Pittsfield Public Library, 110 Library St, Pittsfield, ME, 04967, United States
Come learn the art of kinusaiga (Japanese no sew fabric art) with us! There is no teacher for this class – instead, expect a group of people united by a desire to figure this craft out together! Librarian Jill has completed a few projects, though, so she sure knows a bunch of things not to do!

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.
