Our Walk-In Service Hours are T, W, F: 10-4, Sat: 10-2, with no-contact pickup available T, W, F: 4-5, Sat: 2-3.

The Friends of Bridgton Public Library will be accepting book donations on Saturday, October 3rd from 9:00-noon, with a rain date of Saturday, October 10th 9:00-noon. Please bring your items directly to the Book Shed, at the end of our parking lot, and we will gladly find new homes for these books.
*******************************************
Please remember we have Wi-Fi 24/7 with our Courtyard and Parking Lot networks. We will be leaving our tables and chairs out in the courtyard through the end of October, as we have limited space and limited time available indoors, and we know a lot of you need access to the Internet. We will be upgrading our network during the winter to improve service.

While we are not able to offer our traditional programs in the meeting room this fall, we would like to help you gather and create in different ways. And so we have gathered together some online resources for you to help you get inspired, get involved, learn something new, and part of a different kind of community.
The UMaine Cooperative Extension has put together an awesome lineup of online workshops, with a suggested donation of $5 per session. Can’t make a donation? That’s okay, we’ll make one on your behalf. We will make a donation for any patron who brings in or emails a copy of your program registration.
This year will also be a different kind of school year. For those whose kids are home more, there are some great resources for keeping kids of all ages busy and learning by doing. Miss Samantha is doing a fantastic job here of getting resources up on our website and putting together activity bags for you to do at home. Here are just a few online videos, workshops, and communities to explore:

Stay safe and well. We look forward to seeing you soon!
