HOTELS

 For those of you getting ready to come to the Libraries United Conference here is a list of hotels in the area along with a heads up that the weekend of May 19-21 is a Canadian holiday so availability is somewhat limited.  In addition there are several other events happening while we are on campus, however there is still plenty of space on campus either in a residence hall or suite.  You should plan to make your reservations very soon if you plan to stay off campus.  And remember to use AAA and AARP discounts if you are members of either of those groups.

  • Country Inn (Bangor)  941-0200 – has a block of rooms available at $75 for a King or two double beds. 
    Ask for the Libraries United Conference discount
  • University Inn (Orono) 800-321-4921 – has a block of 6 rooms for 5/19 at $122+tax and more availability on 5/20 and 5/21.  Rate good till 4/28 (This hotel has been nicely redone!)
  •  Hampton Inn (Bangor) 800-998-7829 – rate of $139.
  • Courtyard Marriott 207-262-0070 - $159  (AAA and AARP rate is 15% less)$136

Why give a conference program?
1. Everyone needs something, and you may be the only one to present that helpful idea
2. When you present, you organize your thoughts about the subject. In doing this you discover better ways to do something, thus you gain as much as the audience.
3. If you allow question time for the last 10-20 min, the answers can come from the audience and you gain new ideas too.
4. If you have never done a presentation, find a partner or form a panel. This gives you a chance to try it out, with the support of others.
5. In Maine, we have a tradition of helping one another. Help us keep this tradition alive and well.
