BLUE HILL, Maine  – Blue Hill Public Library will be hosting the annual National Geographic Bee for 4th to 8th grade homeschoolers on Friday January 24th, 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Every year thousands of schools across the country participate in the event, which is sponsored by the National Geographic Society.  The contest is intended to increase public awareness and student interest in geography and to encourage teachers to include the subject in school curricula. The library’s event is free but registration is required, and can be done on the library’s web calendar or by calling 207-374-3675.
