Laws of Gifts to the Poor For more information or to book a program, contact Erik Jorgensen The Thoughtful Giving Library Program Waterville, Maine's library, built in 1902, is one of 1,679 public libraries constructed nationwide as the result of grants from steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie's personal code of philanthropy, summarized in his essay, the Gopsel of Wealth , set out strict guidelines for how, why, and for what purpose a person of means should give. This series uses a lively selection of readings to approach a central and sometimes thorny issue in American society: philanthropy. Giving, be it of time or treasure, has played a significant role in the development of the United States and its unique network of charitable and voluntary organizations. Yet questions of wealth, generosity and money are almost guaranteed to provoke discomfort, as charity has always been a deeply personal and private matter. Readings for this new series in the Let's Talk About It public reading and discussion program are drawn from an anthology edited by Amy Kass entitled The Perfect Gift: the Philanthropic Imagination in Poetry and Prose

Maine’s Libraries at Risk if Tax Cap Passes By Rachel Q. Davis Vol 10 No 11 October 4, 2004 Vol 10 No 11, October 4, 2004 (Click Here to Download PDF) In public opinion polls, libraries are generally seen as positive, desirable institutions that enhance the livability of a community, but at budget time, they are low on the priority list for funding. The “Act to Impose Limits on Real and Personal Property Taxes,” popularly known as the “Palesky tax cap referendum,” has the potential to devastate Maine’s local libraries, and the state’s cooperative library system. As municipalities look at their likely budgets should the referendum pass, libraries are at the top of the list for cuts and will likely receive deeper cuts proportionally than other departments. Many taxpayers do not make the connection between public library services and their tax bills. It is not always clear that the majority of public libraries in the state rely on municipal funding, even if they are not considered municipal departments. The severe impact on libraries should the referendum pass may therefore come as a surprise to those who think the tax cap is a good idea. With some municipalities facing a loss of up to 50% of their operating budgets, libraries in some towns will face closure should the measure pass. This fate is not reserved for the smallest of town libraries. In our state capitol, the Lithgow Public Library is a bureau of the Augusta city government. With Augusta facing cuts to every city department, the Community Services department, which includes the library, would be entirely eliminated.

Associations, formed at first for the exclusive benefit of the few, were gradually enlarged to include in their scope the good of all. The first Maine legislature enacted both school and library laws modeled after those of Massachusetts. From 1798 to 1815 Massachusetts had provided by legislation for the incorporation of law, militia and proprietary and social libraries. Our inheritance, however was more than mere legal machinery, for, although statistics on that point were few and unreliable, the fact is well established that free libraries maintained by the people were as early as the middle of the eighteenth century considered a necessary part of our educational system. A portion of "The Revolving Library", established in 1751 for three adjoining parishes in Kittery and York, is still in existence in the Community House at Kittery Point. The "Library Society" of Falmouth Neck, founded by twenty-six gentlemen in 1765, and succeeded in 1826 by the Portland Athenaeum, was the forerunner of the Portland Public Library, and the oldest library now in active existence, that of Bowdoin College established in 1794.
