|  Northeast Harbor Woman's Literary Club Northeast Harbor Library Description: Belle Smallidge Knowles and Stella P. Hill, two college-educated women living in Northeast Harbor in the early 20th century, thought the community could benefit from a woman’s club. The Woman's Literary Club of Northeast Harbor held its first meeting in 1908 and quickly gained membership. Club members actively wrote papers (many award-winning) ranging from poetry to local family histories and biographies of famous artists. Members also participated in community improvement projects, and attended state and national women’s club meetings. The club disbanded in 2000 due to dwindling membership (from item 6888).

|  Removal of Original Trees at Southwest Harbor Library Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Members of the community and the staff at the library were sad when age and disease caught up with the last of the original library trees and it had to be removed. Local artist, Philip Clifton Rich (1941-), whose family were long time residents of the area and who had grown up within walking distance of the library, made the beautiful desk and chair from the wood that could be saved from the tree. He and his niece, Kristin Rebecca Hutchins (1959-), daughter of former librarian Meredith Rich Hutchins (1938-2016), also made several wooden cutting boards from the very last of the wood. The boards were raffled for the benefit of the library. [show more] | ||
