chance to win a packable book backpack and choose a book from a selection at the

library! When you visit the display you may also view the Library Bill of Rights

and answer the question, ”What is the worst part of censorship?”

Support the Friends of NML by purchasing raffle tickets

for a handmade bookshelf quilt. The quilt is currently on

display in the library. Tickets are $2.00 each or 3 for

$5.00. Tickets are available at the library’s circulation

desk. Drawing date: Friday, November 15, 2019.

Maine Reciprocal Borrowing Program Pilot

NML has opted in to the Maine Reciprocal Borrowing Program Pilot, a statewide initiative to strengthen library resource sharing across Maine. Simply put, patrons with cards in good standing from participating libraries may visit other participating libraries to browse and borrow materials.

The pilot begins Monday, September 16 and will run for one year. As of August 27, 67 Maine libraries have opted in.

This is in addition to the automated interlibrary loan system already in place that allows users to request items through the online Minerva catalog for pick up at NML.

If you have any questions about interlibrary loan using the Maine Reciprocal Borrowing Program Pilot or the automated online system, please speak with staff at the library’s information desk.
