What does your family tree look like? B. J. Jamieson, genealogy reference specialist at the Maine State Library, will be at the library on Thursday, February 28, at 4:00 PM, to teach you how to research your family’s history. Learn from an expert about the free research tools available through the Digital Maine Library, including Ancestry.com and MyHeritage. Bring your questions and enjoy a fun, informative workshop with your fellow genealogists.
The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Jill Larrabee of Stonington has been selected as the library’s new director. Sandra Ward, President of the Board, noted that “it’s an exciting time and I feel we are making an investment in our future and am confident Jill will serve us with distinction.” Jill has served on the Board of Trustees for three years. She not only volunteered to be the Board’s recording secretary, but served as a driving force on the Programs and Outreach Committee. She volunteered countless hours planning story hours, designing floats, and creating interesting exhibits for the library.
In announcing the news, Sandy pointed to the great strides the library has made over the past decade: expanding its collections, increasing its circulation, broadening its programming, fortifying its infrastructure, attracting new visitors and building strong relationships with its patrons, donors and board members. Jill will build on this strong foundation and take the library to even new heights. The library’s future is bright!

The dust has settled, the heat and water are back on, and the library has reopened after a month of construction and improvements. To celebrate, the library Board of Trustees invites everyone to an open house on Saturday, December 1, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
We will be filling a time capsule so please bring an artifact that you would like to add to the capsule.
Come hungry…we will have an array of food and beverages. The first 30 visitors will receive door prizes.
If you can’t make the afternoon event, come in the morning. Story hour will be at its usual time, 9:00 AM, after which the library is open for business from 10:00 AM until noon. There will be cookies and snacks for all.
These renovations have taken years of planning. We are delighted to share the results with you, our loyal patrons, friends, and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
