New "Big Eye" Magnifying Desk Lamp


We'd like to extend thanks to Dover's Oddfellows, Wecohamet Lodge #3, for their generous donation of a 2-arm "Big Eye" magnifying lamp to the library. This desk lamp features a high intensity light on a 14 inch flexible arm, plus a 5 diameter, 2X distortion-free lens on an 18-inch arm. It's perfect for those who'd like to read an item in larger, clearer print or study a coin, a photograph, or a postage stamp in up-close detail. (I can recall an incident years ago in the library when we used a similar lamp to inspect and remove a deeply-imbeded splinter in someone's finger!)

Our new "Big Eye" is available in the Reference Room for free use whenever we're open!
