Good news everyone!! The Ogunquit Memorial Library received a share of The FABULOUS FIND’s July profits! The Fabulous Find has presented us with a check for $8391.23!

The FABULOUS FIND is a non-profit resale boutique that benefits the local community. You’ll forget you’re in a resale store as you peruse the designer clothing, jewelry, home accessories, furniture, music and books in their bright and cheery space.  Your purchase or donation of gently used items will benefit Piscataqua Region arts, environment, food pantry, fuel assistance, animal shelter and educational organizations that the Fabulous Find’s board selects each month!

The FABULOUS FIND partners with three recipients each month and encourages them to use their contact lists to drive up merchandise donations and sales, as all profits benefit them at the end of their month. Our recipients benefit many facets of our community, including the arts, education, the environment, Womenade groups, children, veterans, animals, food, fuel, physical and mental health, etc, and now the Ogunquit Memorial Library. In the past 11 years The Fabulous Find has given almost $2,000,000 to over 155 area non-profits!

Gabby Gathering – “Mythical Creatures of Maine” by Christopher Packard

Thursday, December 2, 2021, 2:30-3:30pm via Zoom https://networkmaine.zoom.us/j/83384829257 Meeting ID: 833 8482 9257

Christopher Packard is the author of “”Mythical Creatures of Maine: Fantastic Beasts from Legend and Folklore” and a full-time high school science teacher at Bangor High School. He is also a trail runner, swordfighter, storyteller, and outdoor adventurer. When not teaching, writing, or wandering in the wilds he can often be found on his small homestead in Hampden, Maine gardening, raising chickens, and spending time with his wife and two sons. Prior to taking up teaching and writing he worked as an ecological restoration technician, field biologist, naturalist, and outdoor educator. He has earned some pieces of paper that say things about degrees in biology and education. But most of his learning has come from his passion for discovery and his drive to bring people together.
