Discover how plants, flowers, and other natural materials can be used to create beautiful, lasting colors on fabric. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or simply curious about traditional dyeing techniques, this hands-on program offers a wonderful opportunity to learn something new and connect with others in our creative community.
 
Natural dyeing is a fascinating blend of art, history, and sustainability—perfect for anyone interested in textiles, gardening, or exploring the colors found in the natural world around us.

This Memorial Day
Honoring Memorial Day at Bridgton Public Library
 
As we reflect on Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and remembrance of the courage and dedication of those who gave their lives for our freedoms.
 
While many of us mark the long weekend with gatherings and the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day carries a deeper meaning—an opportunity to reflect on the lives lost and the families forever changed by their service. We honor their memory and express our heartfelt gratitude for their sacrifice.
 
At Bridgton Public Library, we are grateful to be part of a community that values remembrance and reflection. We encourage patrons to take a moment this Memorial Day to honor those who served, whether through quiet reflection, sharing stories with loved ones, or exploring books that help us better understand our nation’s history and the people who shaped it.
 
From all of us at the library, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
 
Today we honor & remember 🇺🇸
