On #StandUPToCancerDay we take time to note that love and support can come in many forms and places. In 2016, the Church Mice Quilters of Lewiston – who knit caps for patients – took time to come to the Library to take a tour and tell us about their mission. #SU2C

#OTD in 2020 we took advantage of the state of affairs to do a much needed update for our museum timeline with Museum Assistant John Taylor taking the lead on the project. Five years later, and more changes are coming soon. Stay tuned!!

#OTD in 2013 the Library hosted the Shorthand Writers of Maine. Much like cursive writing, it's a skill that fewer and fewer people possess. The group helped translate many of the Senator's secretarial notes for future posterity.

On this #InternationalDayOfCharity we want to recognize the Senator's work with charitable organizations. She worked with many, but the March of Dimes was one she supported for years. Photos taken in 1948, 1968, and at a walkathon circa 1980.
