Last update: 10 hours ago

Community Spaces: Whitefield Library has completed major renovations to its nearly 140-year-old building and hopes to keep it open year-round. The library serves six communities with free reading groups and educational programs. Education: Old Orchard Beach won state approval to plan a new pre-K–8 school, replacing aging buildings; the town may consider adding a high school wing. Somali Heritage: Portland’s Midnimo celebration featured chef and writer Ifrah F. Ahmed’s cookbook SOOMAALIYA, with conversation and traditional snacks exploring food as a link to memory and identity. Youth Learning: Blue Hill Public Library and UMaine Extension will host a free, hands-on 4-H session Nov. 18 on invasive green crabs and coastal ecosystems. Maine Art: Painter Sascha Braunig, who moved to Maine in 2010, says the space and lower cost of living helped her develop her distinctive style.
