Neither did we. In another instance, one of our long time patrons and strongest supporters had a perfectly good large print reading machine that was no longer of use to his family. He offered it to the Library. Since we are in the process of setting up satellite Library services for St. Andrews Village when it opens, I suggested that this would be a perfect location for the reading machine and he agreed. Another instance of the Library being a steward of resources for the overall benefit of the community, and so it goes.
Librarians get an endless stream of reference questions, most mundane, occasionally highly unusual.
This week was no different. Two of our volunteers asked where in Maine they could still buy rat cheese, that very strong cheddar that comes in huge wheels. I immediately replied, it's called skunk cheese at the store I pass by every week in Coopers Mills. Same cheese, different name, and I'm picking up three pounds this weekend for them. The March book order is up on the bulletin board.
