Celebrate Earth Month at Bridgton Public Library!
April is here, and with it comes Earth Day which we’ll be celebrating all month long. This is a time to slow down, breathe deeply, and celebrate the natural beauty that surrounds us here in Maine. At Bridgton Public Library, we have plenty of ways for readers of all ages to connect with the outdoors, discover new stories, and learn how we can care for our planet.
Explore Nature and Adventure
Spring is the perfect season to get outside. We encourage you to visit the trails maintained by our friends at Loon Echo Land Trust—whether for a peaceful walk, a nature hike, or just a quiet moment among the trees, these trails are a wonderful way to connect with the world around us.
As the weather warms, we’re thrilled to for the return of our StoryWalks at Pondicherry Park. These interactive walks combine reading and movement, allowing families and readers of all ages to enjoy stories while exploring the outdoors. Stay tuned for future dates and info for our featured stories this summer—you won’t want to miss this favorite community tradition.
The Celebration Continues in Youth Services
Inside the library, our staff team has curated special displays filled with books, activities, and resources for all things Earth Month. From picture books that spark curiosity about nature to guides on sustainability and environmental stewardship, there’s something for every young reader to enjoy. It’s a perfect way to inspire kids (and adults!) to explore, learn, and celebrate our planet through reading.
Celebrate, Learn, and Connect
Whether you’re venturing out onto a trail, enjoying a Story Walk this summer, or browsing our Earth Month collections, April is a wonderful opportunity to pause, appreciate the world around us, and find inspiration in the stories that connect us to nature.
No matter how you celebrate Earth Month, we hope it includes a mix of fresh air, curiosity, and connection—both with the natural world and the stories that help us understand it.
We’ll be your resource hub all season long!
