Rhubarb Recipes: Sign up today!

You know that summer is on its way in Maine when the rhubarb stalks are large enough to gather. This tart stalk, colored deep red and topped with broad, bright-green leaves, grows in backyards and around farm buildings without much attention. For a spring time treat, learn how to make some healthy tasty recipes with this sure sign of spring. Please join Katy McCarty from UMaine Cooperative Extension on Saturday April 27, 10-11:30 for some tips and tasty samples to bring home. Funding provided by the Friends of the Bridgton Library. For more information contact the BPL at 207-647-2472.

Focus on: Workshops and Activities

The Library offers so many ways to learn and grow, please come take advantage of some of our wonderful workshops and activities. We have seeds to start, cooking tools to create wonderful meals, activity kits for kids and families to explore new ideas, museum passes for checkout, and of course some amazing books to challenge and entertain.

If you like a good old-fashioned read, we have a selection of Bestsellers and Award-winning books in Youth Services and in our Main Collection to suit your tastes.  And if you love to talk about the books you read, we have many book clubs including Teen Fantasy Book Club, Nonfiction Book Club, Literary Club, Book Bags, and Bookies that read a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction. Please check our online calendar
for upcoming titles and book club meeting times.

If you feel like learning something new, we offer access to Digital Maine Library online databases:

This replaces MARVEL! And has been substantially redesigned for easier use. Please check it out.

Thanks to all of the feedback we have received from our patrons and community, we are proud to offer a full schedule of activities through April. Please join us for an InstantPot Potluck Lunch where you are invited to taste something new or a Seed Starting workshop to celebrate the thaw. Learn how to make recipes with rhubarb or create a May Basket to deliver a celebration to your friends and neighbors.

And please make sure you register for our SMAA 101 offering. This is an introduction to the services available through the Southern Maine Agency on Aging, and an actual person will be available here to answer any questions you may have.

Happy Spring!

Sincerely,

Amy Stone
