Resource Sharing

If you love inter-library loan (ILL), we want to hear from you.   We pay to participate in this great service.  You can borrow books and more from almost any library in the State of Maine.  Our library can provide so much more by participating.

We received one great comment from a regular user of ILL.  Keep those quotes coming.  We pay for this service and we get so much in return.   Nice to know it is being used and is appreciated.

Lately I've been watching fabulous movies, reading wonderful books, and listening to great music. I ♥ Inter-Library Loan!

Read What You Like

We all have a favorite book or two and then there are those books that everyone else adores and we find boring.   This great post  (Ten Things Possibly More Boring Than Mrs. Dalloway) is funny and to the point.   Read what you like and don't try to like everything on the Top 100 Books of the Century list. 

Maybe we should form a book group to talk about books we didn't like or books we just could not finish.

If you can't find a good book in the library or in our ebooks, ask someone behind the desk.   We love to give recommendations and we won't be offended if you don't like it.   We'll just keep looking for your perfect read.
