The Friends of Bridgton Public Library will be accepting book donations on Saturday, November 14th from 10:00-noon. Please bring your items directly to the Book Shed, at the end of our parking lot, and we will gladly find new homes for these books. These donations go to our book sales, free cart, and local food banks.

While we are not able to offer our traditional programs in the meeting room this fall, we would like to help you gather and create in different ways. And so we have gathered together some online resources for you to help you get inspired, get involved, learn something new, and part of a different kind of community.
The UMaine Cooperative Extension has put together an awesome lineup of online workshops, with a suggested donation of $5 per session. Can’t make a donation? That’s okay, we’ll make one on your behalf. We will make a donation for any patron who brings in or emails a copy of your program registration.
We have an innovative new membership here at the Library! We have partnered with the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance to offer online workshops for up to 5 library patrons at member prices. If the member prices are a little more than you can afford, please get in touch with the Library for our scholarship program.

This year is a different kind of school year for everyone. For those whose kids are home more, there are some great resources for keeping kids of all ages busy and learning by doing. Miss Samantha is doing a fantastic job here of getting resources up on our website and putting together activity bags for you to do at home. Here are just a few online videos, workshops, and communities to explore:
