Digitizing College Documents

This summer the library will begin to scan many of the documents in the college archives and put them online for easy viewing and access.

With the help and support of Robert Smith in the IT department and NMCC student Robert Sheldon we have already scanned and placed some yearbooks online.

We recently scanned the 1964-1965 catalog for Northeastern Maine Vocational Institute. These catalogs provide a wealth of information about school during that time. Here are some interesting highlights:

• Room and board was $12.75 per week.
• Books and other supplies and deposits cost an estimated $60 - $80 per year
• Tuition per semester $123.50 In State $211.00 Out of State

Over the course of the summer we will be adding information and linking it on the college website.

Stay tuned for updates.

Book Signings @ Turner Public Library

June is a great month for author talks and book signings and the Mark & Emily Turner Memorial Library will be hosting three authors on the dates below.

NMCC students and recent grads are encouraged to attend. It will be interesting, fun, and you may find a new author that you'll enjoy reading. Plus, there will be no test at the end of the talk.

So, take some time for you and relax a little and visit the public library on any or all of the dates below. You'll be glad you did.

Also, your NMCC student ID allows you to get a library card at the Mark & Emily Turner Memorial Library and at the University of Maine at Presque Isle Library.
