Library to host healthy relationships talk 

SOUTHWEST HARBOR — On Tuesday, March 22, at 5:30 p.m., the Southwest Harbor Public Library will host “Encouraging Healthy Relationships,” an online discussion facilitated by Taylor Roos, community sexual violence prevention educator for the Aroostic Mental Health Center (AMHC) Sexual Assault Services. This discussion, geared towards teens and adults, is an event honoring the 2022 Women’s History Month Theme “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.”
