Bird Watching

If you have a DVD player and an interest in Birds this set of 3 DVD's is a must.

We recently finished watching The Life of Birds series. The three disc series, totaling 600 minutes, was hosted by famed naturalist David Attenborough. The series explored 42 countries, and discussed over 300 species of birds!


We borrowed this video from the Maine Library system, you can also.

The Maine Statewide Catalog combines and links library collections across Maine. A single search scans more than 3 million unique titles and nearly 8 million items. As of mid-2006 more than 110 libraries, among them all the largest academic and public libraries. Efforts to add more smaller libraries are ongoing, with a goal of eventually reaching 300 libraries of all types. A built-in requesting and transaction management system allows patrons of libraries using a qualifying online system to make online interlibrary loan requests. Library staff are able to make requests on behalf of their users, as well. Staff of participating libraries will find more detailed, operational information on the Maine InfoNet site.
