The Bridgton Public Library is gearing up for Summer Reading. Find out about our prizes and parties, and sign up for some fantastic programs here. Libraries Rock, and we are ready with new books on geology, music, and of course some great stories for all ages.

Pick up a reading tracker and Bingo activity card at the Library, all ready to go in a packet at the Youth Services Desk. Earn tickets for reading time, attending Summer Program events, and reading activities you do on your own or with some help from an adult.

We will have a Pizza and Ice Cream Party on August 3rd for anyone who has recorded at least three hours of reading on their log or three Bingo squares. Raffle prizes at the door

So come on by and pick up your packet on June 26th!

Inclusive Internship Initiative Update

The Bridgton Public Library has received a grant award from the Public Library Association for the Inclusive Internship Initiative, part of a nation-wide program to spark interest in librarianship as a career possibility to high school students. Bridgton Public Library is the only library in Maine to receive this award this year. We are very proud of Miss Samantha, our Youth Services Librarian who wrote the grant proposal and will be the mentor for our lucky intern.

Thank you to all who applied. Miss Samantha met many qualified youth here in our community, and the Library looks forward to welcoming our new summer intern soon.
