Are you interested in helping to document the stories and voices of Piscataquis County?

The Thompson Free Library has received a grant from the Maine Community Foundation to bring oral history documentation to our community.

If you are interested in joining the project, come to The Commons at Central Hall on Saturday, Dec 15 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. At this training session, oral historian Molly Graham will teach us how to use the digital recording equipment and offer tips on conducting an interview with a friend, neighbor, or family member.

If you’ve thought about gathering family or community history, or just want to see what oral history projects are all about, this program is for you!

Please note, the location of this event is: The Commons at Central Hall, 152 East Main St, Dover-Foxcroft.

We’re looking forward to Dover Foxcroft’s Hometown Holidays celebrations this weekend! There are lots of fun events happening across town.

Learn about the many ways you can help your community as an American Red Cross volunteer.

Drop by the Thompson Free Library  on Tuesday, Oct. 16, any time between 4-6 pm. Red Crossers from the Northern and Eastern Maine Chapter of the American Red Cross are looking forward to meeting you!

Red Cross volunteers make a significant impact on the community. In the past fiscal year, they’ve responded to 92 disasters in the Northern and Eastern Maine Chapter, assisted 288 individuals affected by home fires and other disasters and assisted 96 service members, veterans or their families.

Volunteers make up 90 percent of the American Red Cross workforce. By mobilizing the power of volunteers, the Red Cross responds to a disaster every eight minutes, providing shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities to affected individuals and helping them begin their road to recovery.

The Red Cross also provides 24-hour support to members of the military, veterans and their families at home and around the world, collects 40 percent of the nation’s blood, trains people in first aid, water safety and other lifesaving skills and makes communities safer through disaster preparedness measures.
