Cary Library to host mystery photo night

9 years ago

HOULTON, Maine — Who? What? When? Where? … Help! A “Mystery Photo Night” will be held Monday, Aug. 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Cary Memorial Library, located on 107 Main St.

Everyone loves a mystery — and the library is inviting people to help solve some of them! Join the Aroostook County Historical and Art Museum, the Cary Library, Maine Historical Society, and the Maine State Library as they spend an evening sorting through old photographs and historic objects in local collections that are missing some identifying details.
“We need your knowledge, memories, and detective skills to help us name people, places, and events,” said Librarian Linda Faucher. “And you can bring your own mystery photos, too! We’ll project them for everyone to see and comment on — and hopefully help solve. Bring originals, copies, or scanned photos on a thumb drive.”
Join the group to share ideas, tell local stories, and socialize with friends and neighbors. In addition to solving the mysteries, we will explore the new “Mystery Corner” of Maine Memory Network (www.mainememory.net) and its related comment thread feature.
The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. RSVPs are encouraged and appreciated. Please email faucherl@cary.lib.me.us by Aug. 18 or call 532-1302 to reserve your spot.
