Annual Presque Isle Light Parade Rescheduled

The Presque Isle Light Parade has been rescheduled to Sunday, December 5th.  The parade begins at North Street at 6 pm and heads up Main Street.  The route ends at University of Maine at Presque Isle.  If you have never seen the Light Parade, it is an amazing site.  There are many beautiful floats and brightly decorated trucks.  Everyone has a great time at the parade.  Various groups and agencies hand out toys and books to children throughout the route.  NMCC has partnered with ACAP to collect gently used children's books to distribute along the parade route.  Special thanks to all community members, businesses, and service organizations that donated books, time, and funds to support the project.

It's a wonderful event.  Make plans to attend and you'll be glad you did.

One Question to Many Students

How do you use the library?

We think we know, but we'd like to hear from you.

Traditional books versus digital books

Our library has both print and e-books and the combination meets the needs of everyone who visits the library (online or in person).  There are some people who love the physical book and will never read an e-book.  There are others who find that e-books and e-readers are perfect for them.  Then, there are those who use both depending on the situation.

Here are a few links for additional reading.  To the student writing the research paper on Kindle Versus the Book, be sure to do a few searches in the library databases to find additional articles.
