FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HOLIDAY BAKE SALE

On Friday, Dec. 16, from 10 AM to 4 PM (or ‘til sold out), the

Friends of the Library will be holding a holiday bake sale at the

Camden National Bank on Route 1. This is a perfect opportunity

to pick up all of the baked goods for you, your family and guests.

Cookies, cakes, pies and other seasonal delights will be available -

so forget baking and come by the bank to select your treats and

support the library!

With the help of residents of the

Medomak Mobile Home Cooperative, the

Library installed a Little Library for the

residents to use and enjoy. The intent is

to create a neighborhood book swap cen-

ter for those who enjoy reading but can’t

get to the library. We hope to install a

few more around town.

Many thanks to volunteer Fred Bischoff

for building this.

This is the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The

original paper declaring this, and 14 others from World War II,

will be on display in the Library’s halls in January and February.

Many thanks to Dan and Suzanne Goldenson for this generous

loan and making a piece of history come alive for us.

Upcoming artists and displays:

March: Pictorial celebrating the “new” library’s 10th anniversary.

April: Miller School and Medomak Middle School students

May: MVHS students

June: Tania Amazeen-Jones

The Annual Silent Auction will have a

new format this year. For years, the ‘Love Your Library’ auc-

tion has been in February. This year, we will be combining the silent auction

with a live auction event on July 8. From now until then, the Library will be collecting items for the auc-

tion such as furniture, art, firearms, boats, collections of items such as stamps, etc. in addition to the usual

offerings of gift certificates, services, and an assort-

ment of goods. If you have something you would like to donate, please call the Library at 832-4484.
