Just a block away, at the Portland Public Library, on February 14th<\/sup> is an afternoon of \u201cfrightfully good tales that will add chills to your holiday of otherwise hot romance:\u201d<\/p>\n

And, if you haven\u2019t had your fill by then of\u00a0twisted love, you can head down the hill to the Osher Map Library for a Valentine\u2019s Day celebration at 5 p.m. which includes a talk on \u201cMapping Desire: Erotic Imagery in Old World Cartography.\u201d Osher Map Library Acting Director Ian Fowler will present an enticing lecture covering the representation of love and the human body in cartography through the ages.\u00a0 Cash bar and tasty treats will be served.<\/p>\n
