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.

Semifinal Round 3 – March 15-21

Congratulations to the Round 2 winners:

• Susan Shell
• Annalisa Miller
• Ryan Lett
• Peter Beckford

Winner’s prize: a 29 Cribbage Board Game.

Why 29? The highest possible hand at Cribbage is 29 points when a player holds three 5s and a Jack, with the remaining 5 as the cut card, which must match the suit of the Jack (Nobs). This is an exceptionally rare hand, with odds of 1 in 216,580 in two-player games.

UMaine librarian John Hutchinson will join us for an entertaining presentation about Milton Bradley, the pioneering game maker who pioneered fun and educational games and later became a champion of the Kindergarten movement. He was also a master lithographer and creative entrepreneur. This talk explores his remarkable life and legacy, with plenty of visuals—including a reproduction of his first hit board game, an early edition set of his popular Author Cards, and even a working zoetrope! Whether you’re a fan of board games, history, or inventors, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for the man behind the Milton Bradley Company. And some surprises!

.

John Hutchinson is the History Librarian at the University of Maine and the Representative at Maine’s only Patent & Trademark Resource Center. He grew up in Bridgton, ME, and currently lives in Bangor.

We are sorry but the weather just has not been very cooperative this winter to set up a new StoryWalk®. So we have decided to save Thanks to the Animals for next winter. We plan to have a new StoryWalk® set up after mud season. Perhaps it will be the 4th book in the Hector Fox series, Map of Mystery by Astrid Sheckels.

.

We are very disappointed about the 4 placards that went missing from the last fall’s StoryWalk®. Hopefully, that will not happen again. Several people work hard to bring these stories to you for the enjoyment of many. It is disheartening to have them destroyed.
