BookFlix

The New Portland Community Library has a free trial of a great website from Scholastic.   Does anyone out there have memories of listening to books on tape or more recently cd?  Well, this allows your children to watch and listen to a story being read to them.  It pairs fiction with nonfiction and is a wonderful way to enjoy a story.  Try it out and let me know what you think.  We get it for free for the next couple of weeks.  It is great for children up to about 4th grade.

Welcome To the New Town Site!

Hello New Portlanders and Visitors!

I hope you find this new site a little more user-friendly as well as pleasing to look at. To your left is some quick-reference information–town hours and phone numbers.  To your right you’ll find past and present New Portlanders, local business links, and area links. Look forward to more up-to-date information here such as selectmen’s meetings agendas, meeting minutes, and other town events and news. Actually, you can get town updates sent directly to your email inbox by clicking the “subscribe by email” link in the upper right hand corner of your screen and following the directions there.  Join the “New Portland Community” group on Facebook too!  On Facebook we talk about town issues, ask town questions, and give more day-to-day town updates.  There are lots of ways to get involved and stay informed.

If you have any questions about the site or you’d like to offer a suggestion for improvement, feel free to email me.

I hope you enjoy your new site!
