What's on Display?
Have you checked out the displays that staff has set up across from the circulation desk? This week we're featuring "I Didn't Know the Library had That!" with books pulled from our adult nonfiction collection. Some of the titles in this display include; "The Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz, "Good Books Lately" by Ellen Moore and Kira Stevens and "Communicating in Sign, Creative Ways to Learn American Sign Language".
Another display just went up this morning is "Live the Legacy" in honor of the bicentennial celebration of Lincoln's birth, February 12, 1809. Several of the books on display include; "Did Lincoln Own Slaves?" by Gerald J. Prokopowicz, "1863, The Rebirth of a Nation" by Joseph E. Stevens and "Abraham Lincoln, The Prairie Years and the War Years" by Carl Sandberg.

Library Use Value Calculator
There is a great calculator available to anyone via the Maine State Library website:
http://www.state.me.us/msl/services/calculator.htm. I thought it would be interesting to find out what my own use of the Falmouth Memorial Library would be for a typical two-week period. My total savings is based on the following usage:
Five Books from our library shelves
Five books via Interlibrary Loan
4 movies
2 magazines
1 audiobook
Total saved: $410.00
The explanation for how the values were calculated can be found at:
http://www.state.me.us/msl/services/calexplantion.htm
Granted, I don't usually purchase DVDs, but even the cost of renting them is at least $1.00 per movie.
Check out the value of our library to you and let us know what you think!
