Attention library people!  Ray Routhier of the Portland Press Herald 
(disclaimer: I am married to him) is hoping to write a story about interesting 
and unusual things Maine libraries lend, and why.  So whether it’s musical 
instruments or fly fishing equipment or art work or something else, Ray would 
like to talk to librarians about how popular those items are and how they came 
to be part of the library’s collection. 

If you have items you think fit this description and want to be part of the 
story, please email Ray at [log in to unmask] or call at 791-6454.

(And also feel free to copy your response to this list, because I think we are 
ALL interested!)

Thanks!
