January at BPL
Happy New Year! While we are waiting for snow, we have plenty of books, puzzles, and take-home activities to fill the winter evenings. Join us for our Annual Winter Read and earn chances to win a variety of raffle prizes to celebrate the season.
Thank you to Loon Echo Land Trust for sharing their snowshoes for checkout. We can check them out for one week at a time. We have adult and child sizes and poles available, first-come first-served.
Our Annual Winter Read will be January 15-February 28, 2025. Earn raffle tickets for each book you check out. We will have prizes for adults and for kids. The prize drawing will be Saturday, March 1st.

We are a National Digital Equity Center partner, and happy to help you sign up for online classes they offer. If you would like to request a class to be hosted here at the Library, please let us know and we will get something scheduled for you. We have 24/7 wi-fi and Chromebooks available for checkout. Interested in checking out a mobile hotspot? We have those available, too.
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 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 also 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.
We look forward to seeing you at the library!
Sincerely,
Bridgton Public Library Staff
