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.

Rain

.

Woke up this morning
with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read.

.

Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.

.

Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

We are thrilled to announce that Liberty Library has been selected for the American Library Association’s Digital Pathways: Online Health Literacy Programming for Adults initiative, a pilot program that supports libraries’ online health literacy programming during a nine-month implementation period. Selected through a highly competitive application process, Liberty Library joins a group of 12 libraries across the country participating in the program. It was the only public library chosen in the New England region. As a community hub, Liberty Library will continue to play an important role in helping the adults in our community connect with telehealth services and reliable healthcare resources. This pilot program will help create an innovative program and local partnership with the Waldo Broadband Corporation (WBC). The library will receive an $8,000 stipend to support costs associated with programs.

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.
