It’s always a good time to say ThankYou

We would like to take a little time to thank all of our community partners who have helped us provide programs and services to library users through 2020:

  • Rufus Porter Museum
  • Bridgton Rotary Club
  • Bridgton Recreation Department
  • Bridgton Community Center
  • Bridgton Books
  • Opportunity Alliance
  • Lake Region Collaborative Action Network
  • Bridgton Historical Society
  • UMaine Cooperative Extension
  • Oxford County 4H
  • Maine Publishers and Writers Alliance

We would also like to say thank you to the foundations and organizations who have provided generous support through donations and grants through the year. We could not have kept the lights on and services going without them!

  • Town of Bridgton
  • Maine Humanities Council: CARES Act Funds
  • Maine Humanities Council: Diverse BookFinder
  • Reny’s Charitable Foundation
  • Norway Savings Bank Charitable Foundation
  • The Wonderful Foundation

And we are ALWAYS grateful to our individual donors, who donate over 20% of our operating costs with their support. It has been a challenging and wonderful year, and we are just so proud to be part of this community.

Our individual volunteers, Friends of Bridgton Public Library, and Board of Trustees have donated so much time and talent, beyond measure.

Thank you.

Happy New Year!

We have some wonderful To-Go bags this month to grab and go. If you are putting items on hold or using no-contact pickup, just let us know which To-Go bags you want and we’ll hand them out to you! For adults, we have Comfort To-Go: Cocoa and Puzzles and Craft To-Go: Etched Glass and for kids, we have Comfort To-Go: Cocoa and Puzzles and Culture To-Go: Rufus Porter Portrait Painting. Rufus Porter Museum has put together a Miniature Portrait project just for us here at the Library. Rufus Porter was a self-taught artist who built miniature water-wheels for fun, played music, wrote poetry, and painted. This bag has everything you need to create your own portrait, including a small watercolor kit.

All bags are free, available first come first served while they last.

Happy Winter 2021
