Have you checked out the Book Lists, posted on the right side of our blog? The newest one is The Maine Writers Index, a searchable database of writers with a relationship to the State of Maine. The Maine connection includes, birth, residency, employment or works that are set in the State of Maine.
Although this database is now based on the Maine State Library's website, it was originally the creation of Molly Williams from the Waterboro Public Library. Thanks to Molly and the Maine State Library for this valuable tool!

e-Readers?
E-readers like the Kindle and the Nook are all the talk in the library/publisher/book world. We've had many patrons asking us about them. Did you know that the Falmouth Memorial Library is part of the OverDrive consortium here in Maine? Not only can you download audiobooks, but now you can also download e-books. Come in the library on Friday, December 9th and we'll have a Sony e-reader display out! The Sony e-reader is one of several e-readers that is compatible with the OverDrive selection. And compatibility is an issue with e-books and e-readers. Not all e-books work on all e-readers due to digital rights management (DRM).
Our staff has also pulled together a notebook of information, including reviews of a variety of e-readers that we invite you to browse through.
