When a Tidal River is Your Backyard: Photography by Paula Gagnon, February 2008

Posted in Art exhibits, General at 3:37 pm by yccclibrary

Like any tidal river, the Kennebunk River is always changing with the tides, the seasons and the weather. Paula Gagnon, a hobbyist photographer and Vice President, Dean of Academic & Student Affairs at York County Community College, is fortunate to live next door to this natural wonder. She has captured the dynamic and ephemeral beauty of this landscape and shares it through a series of 13 color photographs and a short narrative. These photos are currently on display in the stacks/group room section of the Library and will remain up through the end of February.

Who’s Our Mystery Bookcrosser?

Posted in General at 2:44 pm by yccclibrary

Did you know that some sneaky person has been practicing bookcrossing right here at YCCC and using the YCCC free reading rack to do it? (GASP!) We have no idea who’s behind this- it could be the chatty woman sitting the next table over from you in the cafeteria or it could be the quiet, shy guy in your English class. It could even be one of your professors! Whoever it is, we librarians just want them to know – we think it’s pretty cool! 

If you haven’t heard of it before, the Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines bookcrossing as:
n. the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise.

Basically, it’s a way to make the world into one great big free library. The concept is simple. People leave books around in public places (park benches, coffee shops, hotels, etc.) for others to find, read, and then “release” for others to find and read. Each book has it’s own ID number and people go online to www.bookcrossing.com to track it’s adventures and see what other people thought about it. Where the book travels and who reads it is up to fate! Reading is turned into an adventure as you not only read a book and can participate in forums to discuss books and authors, but you can track a book’s journey across the state, the country, or even the world!

You should check out the site to learn more about bookcrossing (once again that’s www.bookcrossing.com) and maybe poke around the free reading rack located just outside the library entrance and pick up a bookcrossing book. There’s no obligation to log your find online, just enjoy a free read and pass the book along to someone else when you’re done. However, you may just find that curiosity will get the best of you…
