The Bridgton Public Library is a part of the Chickadee Library Consortium including the Harrison, Naples, Casco, and Raymond libraries. We share our resources and collections to support all of the communities we serve. In addition to over 109,000 items in our shared catalog, we also offer museum and park passes, special kits and items, and helpful and thoughtful reference service across the board. At least one of these libraries is open each day of the week, and a library card from any of these five libraries will grant you access to the collections of the entire consortium.
*****************************************************************
We have free or discounted entry passes available for The Children’s Museum, The Maine Wildlife Park, The Southworth Planetarium, and The Portland Museum of Art to check out. Stop by the Main Circulation Desk for more information and to check out a pass. The Chickadee Library Consortium has passes to Maine State Parks, the Coastal Botanical Gardens, and other attractions as well.
Don’t forget, our book lists of the month are listed to the left and can be found in our online catalog.
Welcome fall, and we look forward to seeing you at the library!
Sincerely,
Bridgton Public Library Staff
