The introduction of telemedicine in 10 of Maine’s 250 public libraries is approaching its one-year anniversary, but it appears that few know it exists. Jonesport’s Peabody Memorial Library and Steuben’s Henry D. Moore Library are two of the 10, but PML librarian Heidi Hinkley reports that only a handful of residents from Jonesport, Beals, and Addison, who have access to the facility, have taken advantage of the ability to consult with a health care provider remotely.
