Mr. Bernard H. Porter February 27, 1957 -2-

You ask about publicity. There ls no regular program, but the collection ls described in all our library leaflets of information; from time to time special opportunities arise, such as anniversary editions of newspapers which survey Maine's history, economy, literature and arts. We are glad of any occasion to explain and describe the collection, or any part of it, in accordance with requests we receive.

The Maine in Print column which emanates from this office, appears regularly in the quarterly Bulletin of the Maine Library Association. In it we list and very briefly annotate new Maine books; we also include in our local library news in this periodical outstanding gifts to the library. It seems safe to say that Colby readers learn from time to time of your contributions, through this medium, if no other.

Colby has specialized in the works of certain authors, not always pertaining to Maine -- Hardy, for instance. We have no way of knowing, but of course it may be that the existence of the Maine Author Collection here has affected decisions of other Maine libraries regarding similar collections and duplication of effort.

Meanwhile, accept our thanks for your recent package, and your interest in the collection.

A former classmate of yours, Miss Helen K. Gorham, who also is from Houlton, is now working in the library, and asks to be remembered to you.

Sincerely yours
