BHML falls down the rabbit hole for 101st
Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library (BHML) commemorated 101 years of service July 11 with a Mad Hatter tea party on the lawn. The 30-person table was filled as community members and visitors enjoyed fresh tea, mini confections and card games to celebrate the library's birthday and their “unbirthdays.”
Programs & Technology Manager Bethany Schmidt explained, last year’s 100-year bash was about honoring the library’s legacy, but faculty decided to take a different approach this time.
“We wanted to celebrate what makes us so special, and that's our patrons. This is such a beautiful community of readers.”
The library’s next event will be its Alice in Wonderland-themed Storybook Ball fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 2. Buy tickets on the library's website.
