Dear Wonderful Patrons, Are you passionate about our library and the community it serves? We’re looking for a dedicated individual to join our Library Board of Trustees. If you’re committed to promoting literacy, supporting library initiatives, and shaping the future of our beloved library, we want to hear from you! To learn more and apply, reach out to Bart McCrum, the board chair, at bartmccrum@roadrunner.com or 207-671-4216. Join me for Story Time on Tuesday mornings from 10:30-11am. Listen to a story, sing some songs, enjoy some felt board fun, and participate in a craft. Stuffies usually make an appearance! Try a challenge or free build during Lego Club on Sunday afternoons. All ages are welcome. Lego Club is from 1-3pm but you may arrive and leave at your leisure within this time frame. Feel free to join one or more Lego Clubs as your schedule allows. If you have thought about writing your memoir, join Lorraine Lindstedt at the monthly memoir writing workshop via Zoom from 6:30-8:30pm on Wednesday, November 8. There will be no meeting in December and two meetings in January 2024. See “Stay Tuned…” for further information.

Drop ins welcome.
Take one of our LEGO challenges, make a design from “The LEGO Ideas Book,” or create your own design.
