(Image courtesy Camden Public Library)In celebration of our country’s 250th and knowing your rights, Camden Public Library is hosting a week-long drop-in experience called “Copy That!” in which the public is invited to copy parts of the Constitutional amendments by hand.
The amendments, writing materials, an educational video, and community prompt boards will be set up in the library rotunda from July 6-13 during open hours.
"Copy as much or as little of any Constitutional amendment as you like," said the Library, in a news release. "Indulge in our fancy dip pens and textured parchment, or simply pick up a ballpoint and notebook paper. Everyone is invited to engage and reflect on the words in the Constitutional amendments, their history, and their importance today. You are welcome to take your handwritten copies home, or you can choose to attach them to the community amendment wall."

During part of the week, Maine American Civil Liberties Union will have an informational table where you can learn more about your rights and what democracy means today.
