[Pictured Above: (Left) The percussion parade, part of our Story Time PLUS! Programming; (Middle) our holiday card making was a

Summer Programming Success Our children’s programming was lots of fun this summer! We had puppets, music, science experiments, and animals
providing exciting learning opportunities for the children of our community.
This year we introduced Story Time PLUS! programs, pairing story time with an activity. We read:
• Seek and Find stories and took home samples of Spot It!, a matching game
• Stories about music and had a kazoo parade
• Books about art and decorated the library walkway with sidewalk chalk
• Yoga stories and did stretches with special guest, La Avila
• About animal adaptations and had an outdoor story walk
• About rhythm and drums and had a percussion parade
Summer readers left over 100 book reviews on Miss Robin’s “Leave a Review” tree, filling the wall behind Miss Robin’s
desk!
We hatched, tagged, and released over 100 Monarch butterflies with the Monarch Watch conservation program.
The children have really been enjoying our three new iMacs and two new iPads, which were purchased with a grant from
the Sumner Scholarship Endowment Foundation.

year and celebrate the holidays. Floral turkey

Christmas. With decorative contributions from Holly

creative displays came together and the process was a lot
of fun.

Northeast Harbor Library
Northeast Harbor, ME 04662
for more information!
Letter from the Director They say nothing lasts forever, but Bob Pyle’s legacy just might. He served as director for 40 years and oversaw many
changes in the library. One of the biggest changes was the challenging capital campaign and construction of a new
building from 2005-2008. Many kudos to Bob, O.P. Jackson and board of directors for having the foresight to make this
happen, turning the library into the up-to-date and thriving place it is today. Bob passed away on December 25th. We will
miss his “Bobisms,” that’s for sure…bibbity, bibbity…
In October 2017 Stockton Smith happened to be in Northeast Harbor for a power outage and thought of the library. He
loved giving generators to organizations that needed them. Happily, for us and the entire community, he generously
funded the installation of a Kohler generator that will power our boilers and emergency lights. Sadly, he too passed away
in 2018.
Lastly, I want to say thank all one hundred and sixty-seven of you, who rose to the occasion and made an increased or a
first- time donation to the library. And, a huge thank you to the anonymous donor who made the $ 20,000.00 challenge.
We made it thanks to all of you! I love author Chris Bohjalian’s remark “Libraries don’t just connect us to books; they
connect us with each other”. I strongly believe that and am so grateful to be part of this community.
Eleanor Andrews, Library Director

Northeast Harbor Library
Northeast Harbor, ME 04662
for more information!
Letter from the Director They say nothing lasts forever, but Bob Pyle’s legacy just might. He served as director for 40 years and oversaw many
changes in the library. One of the biggest changes was the challenging capital campaign and construction of a new
building from 2005-2008. Many kudos to Bob, O.P. Jackson and board of directors for having the foresight to make this
happen, turning the library into the up-to-date and thriving place it is today. Bob passed away on December 25th. We will
miss his “Bobisms,” that’s for sure…bibbity, bibbity…
In October 2017 Stockton Smith happened to be in Northeast Harbor for a power outage and thought of the library. He
loved giving generators to organizations that needed them. Happily, for us and the entire community, he generously
funded the installation of a Kohler generator that will power our boilers and emergency lights. Sadly, he too passed away
in 2018.
Lastly, I want to say thank all one hundred and sixty-seven of you, who rose to the occasion and made an increased or a
first- time donation to the library. And, a huge thank you to the anonymous donor who made the $ 20,000.00 challenge.
We made it thanks to all of you! I love author Chris Bohjalian’s remark “Libraries don’t just connect us to books; they
connect us with each other”. I strongly believe that and am so grateful to be part of this community.
Eleanor Andrews, Library Director
