We have had several requests recently for the HOME: The Story of Maine series. Unfortunately, we were unaware of the mailing that had gone out to schools from PBS so we were caught a little bit off guard and confused about which programs in the series patrons were looking for. This email is just to clarify a few items regarding the HOME series. We currently have in our collection the 1999 and 2000 programs which include the following: Season 1 1. A Place Apart (The image of Maine) 2. A Part of the Main (European Settlement and natural resources) 3. They Came By Sea Season 2 4. A Love for the Land (agriculture) 5. The Nation's Playground (tourism) 6. Trails, Rails & Roads (transportation) 7. Power Lines (electricity) The HOME series returns to PBS on November 25th with the airing of two new programs: People of the Dawn, and Rolling Back the Frontier. We DO NOT have these programs yet and will not have them until after the air date. (The complete series re-airs on November 27th.) If you would like the first 7 programs, you may request them now. As with any program from out collection, we do not "loan out" the videos. We have master videos that we duplicate. Therefore, you would need to send us blank tapes or $5 per tape to receive these programs. Each program is 30 minutes long and, since we put up to two hours of programming on each tape, you would need to send us two tapes or $10. If you would like the Nov. 25th programs, please wait until the programs air to request them. Again, you would need to send a blank tape or a check for $5. I hope this clears things up. Please pass this information on to other school personnel who might be interested.
