14111	Painting Bridges	Set	Structures, Transportation, Bridge, Carriage Road Bridge						In July 2012, Seal Harbor, Maine photographer Howie Motenko conceived of a community art project utilizing the photographic technique of light painting on the historic stone bridges of Acadia National Park. His idea was to assemble a team of volunteers who, wielding flashlights, would “paint” a bridge with light while he creates a long-exposure photograph. For the next nine months, a growing cohort of co-artists journeyed at twilight to each bridge on Acadia’s 45-mile carriage road system. The project grew organically, with most of the volunteers hearing about it by word of mouth. By spring of 2013, stunning photographs of all 16 of Acadia’s historic bridges along with the two gatehouses had been completed with the help of 150 volunteers. An image gallery and blog about the project can be seen at www.paintingbridges.com.

3487	Southwest Harbor Public Library	Reference	Organizations, Civic, Public Library Structures, Civic, Library				Southwest Harbor	338 Main Street	Nell Thornton famously said, in her book, The Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor, “The Southwest Harbor Public Library had its beginning [as the Tremont Public Library] in 1884 when Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs gathered a number of discarded books from the hotels, mostly paper covered volumes, and placed them on a shelf in one corner of Dr. R. J. Lemont's drug store…” The library was, as were many small libraries on the coast of Maine, started by “people from away,” in other words, summer people. This small library, however, was quickly adopted by native Southwest Harborians, and has grown, in the almost one and a half centuries since its founding, to be one of Maine’s very few five-star libraries, according to the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service.
