Looking ahead to October

Welcome to the heart of fall! With many activities happening throughout the greater Bridgton area, there are some special events at the Library, too. Mark your calendars…

Celebrate Banned Book Week October 2-October 7. We will have age-appropriate displays throughout the building with books that have been challenged and books that may help you see things from a different perspective.

Wednesday, October 4 we will be hosting local poet Kate Berry for a Blackout Poetry workshop between 10 am-2 pm in the Resource Room. 

Saturday, October 28 we will be partnering with Loon Echo Land Trust at Pondicherry Park for a special glow-in-the-dark Storywalk from 3-4 pm.

Tuesday, October 31st we will be partnering with the Bridgton Historical Society for a special Cemetery Walk through the South Bridgton Cemetery from 4-5 pm.

Interlibrary Middle School Book Group

Interlibrary Middle School Book Group

Please join us for this interlibrary middle school book club! We will cover age-appropriate experiences from a diverse list of authors. Themes include exploring sense of self, family, friendships, microaggressions, belonging, mental health, LGBTQ+ identity and more.

This is a safe space for middle schoolers and allies to explore and discuss our book list.  The group will meet twice a month on WEDNESDAYS, and the meeting will be hosted by a different local library each month to hopefully make it more accessible to more area youth.

Please join us for the initial meet & greet Wednesday, September 28th from 3:00-4:00 pm, before the first book discussion group meets in October at the Harrison Village Library. Please contact them for more information: (207) 583-2970
