History of Inventions
Wednesday, September 9th 6:00-7:00pm

UMaine librarian John Hutchinson will help us explore the amazing stories behind the most influential inventions in American history, from telegraphs and sewing machines to airplanes and motion pictures — and meet the inventors who helped shape that legacy. This engaging talk blends national history with individual genius, revealing how patents protected ideas, fueled innovation, and sometimes sparked controversy.

Wondrous World of Tea
Friday, September 11th 1:00-3:00pm

Join Ray Marcotte, Reference & Technology Librarian and co-owner of Teafarers.com, for a history lesson, tea tasting, and slide show of his travels to source tea in China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Nepal, and The Azores. You’ve probably tasted green, black, and white tea, but have you ever experienced yellow, oolong, and pu-erh tea? Light snacks will be served with the tea.
