Turn the Page

If you're in Maine, you might want to check out First Fridays at Bowdoin College's Special Collections Library. On the first Friday of every month, people gather together for a surprise. Some of them have even placed bets on the reveal. When News Center Maine attended First Friday a couple of weeks ago, the crowd was even bigger than usual as it was alumni weekend, and quite a few people skipped other planned events to see... a page being turned. Yes, one page every month, for ten years now. But this is a special book, kept under glass, with the regular page-turning times to prevent sun damage to the paper. What will be revealed on the next page? The librarians know, but they aren't telling. What kind of book inspires this kind of interest? You'll have to watch the video for that, and you'll be delighted to find out. (via Metafilter)
