Lewiston Public Library now booking appointments
Azilee Hollenbeck, 8, reads a book Tuesday at the Lewiston Public Library during a scheduled Children’s Room appointment. Azilee’s friend Uku Turri, 3, and his mom, Karin, sit behind her, while Azilee’s mother, Sheri Withers Hollenbeck, browses elsewhere. The Hollenbecks and Turris are longtime neighbors and friends who have created a social bubble so the children can enjoy safe social interaction. The library recently started offering appointment visits, with the Children’s Room able to accommodate up to five people, including required adult supervision, for 45-minute visits. For information, call 207-513-3133 or email LPLKids@lewistonmaine.gov.

Local library technician hosts read-aloud sessions for kids
Krista Lord prepares for her read-aloud virtual session at the Lewiston Public Library on Thursday. Lord adds some visual interest to her scene each week. This week it was a dinosaur, other weeks she decorates the backdrop with polka dots or displays a stuffed animal. The stories are streamed to the library’s Facebook page through her cellphone, seen here perched on a music stand.

Area libraries see growing audience for online programming
Sara Groves shows a seedling she found in her front yard to her Facebook live audience at Sherwood Forest in Auburn on Thursday. The Lewiston Public Library children’s librarian used the “show and tell” to demonstrate patience, the lesson she hoped children learned from the book she reads to them, “Patience, Miyuki.”
