* The Louise Dean Library Fund
In 2001, when the library expansion project got underway, the DMC established the LOUISE DEAN LIBRARY FUND to complement the proposed NSF funds and to honor its founding librarian. The library fund is used for student computers, printers, carousels, bookshelves, and relatively small necessities that sometimes go unfunded in the larger scheme of things.

Thanks to a $200,000 facility award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and matching funds from the University of Maine, the DMC Library proudly opened the doors to a new library facility in December of 2005. The floor plan is almost twice as large, about 3,900 square feet, as the old facility and includes expanded space for books and bound journals, as well as a spacious journal reading room.
