Little Bear Library is NOW OPEN!

Little Bear Library is NOW OPEN!

The Cave Hill students and staff dedicated our Little Bear Library to Stephen and Gail Hare this beautiful afternoon. The students and staff gathered outside to hear eighth graders, Olivia Jordan and Alexa Hidri, read an Elephant and Piggie book, Elephants Cannot Dance, by Mo Willems. A favorite book Mrs. Hare used to read to the current eighth graders when they were her kindergarten students! Some of our students and staff donated books for the kick-off.
Our library is registered with the Little Free Library Book-Sharing Network which is nation-wide and around the world. The goal is to share the love of reading by offering free books to anyone! Anyone may take a book - community members, students, staff, and passersby. Book donations are welcome at our library! Folks may drop off books anytime, too.
Stephen Hare built our library this summer and also built and donated one to the Town of Waltham. We are very excited about joining the Little Free Library organization, and we invite community members to take a book, share a book.
The Cave Hill Bears are grateful to the Hare Family for their donation of our Little Bear Library!

Help the Maine Broadband Coalition Bring Reliable Internet to All Mainers

The Maine Broadband Coalition has launched a statewide internet speed test mapping initiative. The goal of the “Get Up To Speed” initiative is to gather data from across the state to generate the most comprehensive map of both the presence and quality of internet in Maine to date.

Residents are being asked to help the initiative by taking this less-than-a-minute test to map their own speed through the Maine Broadband Coalition’s website.

The Maine Broadband Coalition will aggregate, document, and visualize the speed testing information to provide users and state officials with up-to-date service maps. Participants can view their results (while personal information remains confidential) and watch the public map of Maine grow in real-time.

A crucial next step

The new speed testing initiative is the crucial next step in ensuring the delivery of broadband throughout the state and will help local, regional, and state leaders develop projects and steer investments to the places that need it most. This map, along with other data collected, will help inform where the bond funding, approved by Maine voters in July, can have the most impact.

Please take a minute today to take the Maine Broadband test. This two-minute grass-roots activity is the next step in helping to expand high-quality broadband to all Mainers. Test your own speed now by using the link below.
