Brought to you by the BES Chicken Club and together with the Brooksville Elementary School, the Brooksville Library will be hosting a Student Art Show and the Community Talent Show! Join us Saturday for an evening full of beautiful art, yummy food and musical entertainment!

Rep. Nina Milliken, D-Blue Hill, will hold office hours at the Brooksville Library on Saturday, March 29, from 12 – 1:30 p.m.

 The library is located at 1 Townhouse Road. Appointments are not necessary.

Office hours provide constituents with an opportunity to hear updates from Augusta, ask questions about policymaking and share opinions on state matters. They also serve as an opportunity for residents to get help navigating state agencies and voice concerns. 

“It continues to be an honor to serve Brooksville and our surrounding coastal communities, and I encourage anyone who is interested to please drop in on my upcoming constituent office hours,” said Milliken. “Hearing about the issues that are important to you helps inform better policy decisions as we work hard in Augusta on behalf of all Mainers during the current legislative session.” 

Milliken is serving her second term in the Maine House of Representatives and represents Blue Hill, Brooksville, Castine, Sedgwick, Surry and Trenton. She serves on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

On October 9th at 4:00 PM, Healthy Peninsula will host a free hybrid event at the Blue Hill Library’s Howard Room, also streaming via Zoom at the Brooksville and Ellsworth Libraries as well as at the Deer Isle and Stonington town halls. The event will focus on how Home Sharing is one way to address Maine’s severe shortage of affordable housing. A representative of MaineHousing will be at the event as well as the founder of third-party organization Nesterly, Maine’s Home Sharing Pilot Program will provide information about this program and answer questions community members may have.

Nesterly which is overseen by the Maine State Housing Authority, is an online matching platform that connects homeowners with available space with renters seeking affordable, long-term living arrangements while also benefiting older residents wanting to remain in their homes. The Nesterly platform facilitates this connection by managing listings, screening participants, conducting background checks, and handling rent collection, making it safe and convenient for all involved.

It is also possible to join the event from the comfort of home through registering online. For more information, or for help with registration for this event, please email Kayleigh Thomas at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net or Lori Johnson at ljohnson@healthypeninsula.org or call Healthy Peninsula at 374-3257.
