Join us for a brunch conversation about our favorite music! Every month we post a prompt question to get the discussion started, and we encourage the eclectic, organic evolution of a conversation around that prompt. This is a respectful and fun environment- with breakfast provided!⁠

October's question: What are some of your favorite uses of music in a film, television show, video game, or novel? How does the use of music complete or enhance these media?

We Are Now a Voting Booth for the MSBA!

What is the Maine Student Book Award? The MSBA is a curated list of books for readers in 4th to 8th grade (suggested, not required). Every year, kids from all over Maine get to vote for their favorite book. Participants who read 3 or more books are eligible to vote. The voting deadline is April 1. Those who vote will be invited to a Winner-Reveal Party in April here at Skidompha!

Swing by the children's room and add your name to the MSBA chart. Then simply start reading! Many of this year's books are in our collection and on display. For more info, visit their site https://tinyurl.com/MSBA2627.
