ConferenceThe sessions are free, and are scheduled on four Mondays, February 3, 10, and 17, and March 3, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Library. The first session is past but late registration is still available for the remaining three sessions. This series is designed to help participants achieve optimal benefit from participation in the Camden Conference.

     The sessions are being moderated by Bob Sargent, a former U.S. diplomat whose overseas assignments included Belgium, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Turkey and Vietnam. Mr. Sargent is a former member of the Camden Conference Board of Directors and Advisory Board and a three-time conference program chair.

   The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. In the years since, it has convened its annual Conference on the third weekend of February in the historic Camden Opera House, drawing some of the best minds on foreign policy to share their insights and expertise on a range of global issues with the community.

    Space is limited for the series, so participants are asked to register using the Library's interactive calendar found at www.bhpl.net or by calling the Library at 374-5515. For more information and suggested readings, check the event listing on the library's calendar or call the Library at 374-5515. More information about the conference itself can be found at www.camdenconference.org.

New Library Cards
      The Library is in the process of issuing new library cards to our patrons, so if you haven't gotten one yet, don't be surprised if you receive one on your next visit!Cards
Not just for checking out books anymore: This cool new card (actually, one for your wallet, one for your key chain) is the key to ordering your own interlibrary loans, free music downloads, and accessing e-books and audiobooks online.
        The State Library's interlibrary loan system is driving the change-- we will now all have much longer barcodes but the good news is that patrons will now be able to order their own interlibrary loans online anytime. Items will still be picked up at the Library and we will still notify you when they have arrived. And if you don't really want to order own ILL's-- we will still be happy to do that for you.
New Books from Downeast Audubon
      The Library gratefully received a gift from Downeast Audubon this week, of three new books for the Library's collection: Gulls of the Americas (2007), Peterson Reference Guide to Seawatching: Eastern Waterbirds in Flight (2013), and Behavior of North American Mammals (2011).downeast Look for them on the new materials kiosk in the middle of the Main Room downstairs.
