Find Your Voice

We have so many ways to help make things better. This October there are many opportunities, in our community and in our state, and we are making these available to you here at the library all month.

We will be hosting a Community Conversation: Jobseekers series this month. You can participate register online or in-person or complete a survey. We want to hear about your jobseeking experiences, whether you are currently looking for work or are happily employed.

You also are invited to participate in the Maine Shared Community Health Needs Assessment. We don’t have a paper print out survey for this one, but you can click here to find out how to register.

The Greater Portland Council of Governments is hosting a Visioning Lab to share your ideas, solutions, and wishes about transportation in our area. We will have a paper version of the survey at the library as well.

And of course we have Elections on November 2, 2021. You can still regsiter to vote and request an absentee ballot. We encourage everyone to Get Out the Vote!

October

Well, we are ready for fall after a pretty wonderful summer here at the library. Our courtyard is still lovely. Please enjoy our beautiful outside and our welcoming inside. Masks are requested while you are in the building, and we are still limiting people to 30 minute visits. We have many events happening this month, please check out our calendar for more events and details.

***********

Please come join the Friends of Bridgton Library at the Book Shed on Saturday, October 16th from 9:00 am-noon for some great books at even better prices. All funds raised go to help the Library pay for programs and services for library users of all ages. We will also be having Storytime in the Courtyard (9-9:30) and Teen Bookmaking (11-11:30).

Our Lego Master Builders continue in Youth Services. One builder (or a builder and sibling) will be given a special Work Zone, a bucket of legos, and thirty minutes to build a Master Creation. First come, first served, we will let the legos “rest” after each use.

With the harvest wrapping up and winter on its way we’d like to offer our special collections checkouts. Try out some new recipes, preserve your harvest, or just take some time to try the Air Fryer you’ve heard so much about before you consider buying one.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Happy October!
