August Overview

August Overview

Our Adventure Begins at Your Library Summer Reading Challenge is off to a fabulous start!  Any books you read and record on your reading log will earn tickets toward our Summer raffle. We will draw the winners for the youth and adult prizes August 16th, so please have your reading logs in to our circulation desks by Wednesday, August 14th.

And for those looking for a little outdoor adventure, check out our Audubon backpacks with a book, nature activity guide, and simple tools for you to observe the world around you.  Look for these in Youth Services.

************************************************************************

The Bridgton Public Library is a part of the Chickadee Library Consortium including the Harrison, Naples, Casco, and Raymond libraries. We share our resources and collections to support all of the communities we serve. In addition to over 109,000 items in our shared catalog, we also offer museum and park passes, special kits and items, and helpful and thoughtful reference service across the board. At least one of these libraries is open each day of the week, and a library card from any of these five libraries will grant you access to the collections of the entire consortium.

Stop by and pick up a Chickadee Consortium Summer Events Calendar to see all the wonderful events hosted by the Consortium Libraries through the end of August.

We have free or discounted entry passes available for The Children’s Museum, The Maine Wildlife Park, The Southworth Planetarium, and The Portland Museum of Art to check out. Stop by the Main Circulation Desk for more information and to check out a pass. 

Don’t forget, our book lists of the month are listed to the left and can be found in our online catalog. This month, the lists are Adventures, Intersectionality Awareness, and Lifelong Learning

Happy Summer, and happy reading!

Sincerely,

Bridgton Public Library Staff
