Our first Story and Craft Night of 2013 went off with a BANG! Hope Lewis, a professional storyteller joined us on January 25 to entertain us with Chinese stories that required the children to participate with loud bangs and other firecracker noises. We learned about the Year of the Snake (2013)  and the children each had their had own Chinese horoscope character to color in. We hope that Hope will join us again!

We are in the process of automating our collection. By June 2013, all of the volumes in the Bass Harbor Memorial Library will be represented in the Library World electronic database. Patrons will be able to search our collection from their homes. We look forward to having this service available for you soon! Take a peak:  http://www.libraryworld.com.

We are ringing in the new year with works by Bernard-born Theolyn Gilley. Now a resident of Hulls Cove, many of Theolyn's paintings capture her love of the village where she was born. Come and view familiar scenes at the library through February.
