Call for Community Groups!

Have an idea for a community group? Start one here!

At Bridgton Public Library, we believe great things begin with simple ideas—and sometimes all it takes is one person to bring people together. If you’ve been hoping to join a book club, crafting circle, kids’ group, or educational meetup but haven’t found the right fit, this might be your sign to create it.

Our library is more than just a place for books—it’s a welcoming space for connection, creativity, and shared learning. We’re always excited to support new groups and help community members turn their ideas into something meaningful. Whether your goal is to learn a new skill, meet like-minded neighbors, or simply spend time doing something you love, we’re here to help you get started.

Getting started is easy. Stop by the circulation desk to learn how to reserve space, plan your meetings, and make your group a reality. Our team is happy to answer questions and point you in the right direction.

You never know—the group you start today might be exactly what someone else in the community has been waiting for.

So pop by today and let us know how we can be apart of getting you started!
