Betting the Farm at the Braden
The Braden Theater will be showing Betting the Farm on Wednesday and Thursday (Oct. 10 and 11) at 7 pm.
Just featured at the Camden International Film Festival, the acclaimed film Betting the Farm will be shown at the Braden Theater this Wed & Thursday, Oct 10-11 at 7:00 pm. It features 3 families, including Vaughn & Laura Chase of Mapleton, owners of Chases Organic Dairy. At Wednesday's screening, a Q & A session with Filmmaker and the local farmers will follow. View the Trailer: http://www.bettingthefarmfilm.com/
In February 2009, H.P. Hood, one of the largest dairy companies in America, announces that it will not renew the contracts of eight organic dairy farmers in rural Maine. With no other dairy companies willing to send a milk truck to northern or eastern Maine, the farmers are left with two choices: quit farming altogether or find a new way to do business. (quoted from Wood Prairie Farm)
Farmers Vaughn Chase, Richard Lary, and Aaron Bell--along with the other farmers dropped by Hood--band together to launch a new, entirely local milk company, Maine's Own Organic Milk Co., or MOO Milk. (quoted from Wood Prairie Farm)

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.

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.
