The Jesup Memorial Library in downtown Bar Harbor hosted a poetry reading in October 2023 by Hollie Adams, a writer-in-residence at Acadia National Park. Drawing upon her time at the park, Adams read poems about how climate change has affected our relationship, both physically and mentally, to the place we call home.
