Zenbooth

Use our privacy booth for a quiet work space, virtual meetings, and phone calls. It is normally on a first-come basis, but if you would like to schedule its use for a meeting or telehealth appointment, call the library ahead of time, and we will reserve it for you. Generally the use time is 1-hour but that is flexible, especially if no one is waiting to use it. You may bring your own device or use the library’s laptop computer.

“In November, people are good to each other. They carry pies to each other’s homes and talk by crackling woodstoves, sipping mellow cider. They travel very far on a special November day just to share a meal with one another and to give thanks for their many blessings.” ~ Cynthia Rylant

Book coverA Fever in the Heartland : the Ku Klux Klan’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan.

.

The Roaring Twenties was the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. But at the peak of their influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman who would reveal their secret cruelties, and finally brought the Klan to their knees.

There are copies in MILS. Other copies, are available in MaineCat.

Hats & Mittens

There is a box with hats and mittens for local residents at the Desk at the library. If you or your children need a warm hat or mittens, please stop in and get one.

.

We will be collecting mittens and hats throughout the fall and winter. We will also be distributing to WaldoCAP Head Start. They need:

  • Mittens size infant to child, age 5. Here are two simple 2-needle mitten patterns:  
  • A few pairs of adult mittens.
  • Blankets for napping.
  • A few hats for children ages 3 – 5. (Still have a handful of hats left from last year.)

All items should go in the large basket at the library. There is a lot of yarn for you to use so please stop by and take some. We will update you as other items are needed. Thank you for your donations!
