Update about Interlibrary Loan: Interlibrary loan for van delivery is available again! Please limit request to 3 items. This will help library staff and STAT delivery to gradually resume ILL processing over the first few weeks of the service.

.

Our delivery day is now on Wednesday. This necessitates a change in schedules. You will find Barb at the library on Wednesdays and Fridays. (No longer on Thursdays.) So if you need technology help or need tickets for the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, visit on Wednesday or Friday. Our open hours will remain the same.

Cod : a biography of the fish that changed the world by Mark Kurlansky.

The winner of the 1999 James Beard Award, Cod is the biography of a single species of fish, but it may as well be a world history with this humble fish as its recurring main character. Cod, it turns out, is the reason Europeans set sail across the Atlantic, and it is the only reason they could.

.

There are numerous copies in MILS and MaineCAT, including audiobooks. A digital audiobook is available on hoopla©. Anyone is invited to the Book Discussion even if you haven’t read the book!

Zenbooth

Use our privacy booth for a quiet work space, 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.

Liberty Library is working with the National Digital Equity Center (NDEC) and Waldo Broadband Corporation to offer free digital literacy classes for our community. These classes are in-person:

“Cutting the Cord” – Getting TV & Phone Services Over the Internet
October 2 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 PM
At the Liberty Library

What does it mean to “Cut the Cord”? It’s about canceling cable or satellite services and being able to watch television shows online, as well as options that would allow you to get rid of your landline. This class will not only show you the wide variety of options out there, but also teach you some tools to decide if cutting the cord is right for you.

.

Register here.  Click on the “Reserve your spot” button. You can also email or call 207-589-3161. (Wednesday or Friday afternoons are best.) Please register as early as possible as classes are limited. If you do not receive a registration confirmation email, please contact the library.
