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.

Fiber Arts Exhibit

Wanted: Fiber Art Projects for January and February.

Fiber artists employ techniques such as weaving, knotting, felting, and embroidery to create abstract, conceptual, or figurative pieces. Unlike traditional textile crafts, fiber art prioritizes artistic expression over utilitarian purpose.

Do you have a special project that you would like to share? For January and February, the library will have a Fiber Arts Exhibit. We want your projects to display. There is room for 8-10 hanging 2-D projects and the shelves will be available for smaller 3-D items or items that will be best displayed on a stand.

How do I participate?

  • Bring your item to the library between Dec. 29th & Jan. 2. Hanging items must have an attached hanger that will hang on a hook.
  • Attach a tag with your name, your items title (if it has one), what technique, and a brief history, if you want. These tags will be displayed with your item.
  • Accompanied by this filled out Exhibit Loan Agreement.

We ask that you share just 1 item, but if you wish to share more, note that on the Exhibit Loan Agreement so we can contact you if we need more artworks. We want to allow everyone who wants to participate to have the chance to do so. If we have too many items we can possibly switch them out after being on display for one month.

Book cover of Everything is TuberculosisEverything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green

.

“Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world–and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.” Provided by the publisher.

There are copies in MILS. Other copies, are available in MaineCat. Also Large Print.

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 delivered some mittens and hats to WaldoCAP Head Start. They need more blankets for napping. Along with knitted and crocheted blankets, sewn quilts are fine, too.

.

We are still collecting mittens and hats of all sizes. Here are three simple 2-needle mitten patterns:  

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!

.

Have you seen the unique wool hats donated by Judith Fischer? They were made by a process called Nålebinding. This is a fabric creation technique predating both knitting and crochet. Also known in English as “knotless netting” or “single-needle knitting”, the technique is distinct from crochet in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop. It also differs from knitting in that lengths must be pieced together during the process of nålebinding, rather than a continuous strand of yarn that can easily be pulled out. The finished products are beautiful!
