Bridgton Public Library

Here’s an opportunity to bump into old friends and find reading treasures! The Friends of the Library will hold their annual Courtyard Book Sale this Saturday, from 9:00am to 2:00pm–WEATHER PERMITTING!

There will be cookbooks galore, plenty of adult non fiction, and the usual supply of fiction and children’s books–all at affordable prices with  monies raised supporting the library.

If Saturday is a rain out, the Friends will work with the library staff for a book sale on Saturday, August 27.

Join us on this Tuesday at 11am for another great children’s event. Author Mary Atkinson will talk with children, share an activity and sign  books.

Mary’s book “Owl Girl” is a fun entertaining summer read for children of all ages.  Her character Holly, a seven year old girl, captures the genuine spirit and nature of children and the emotions they face when learning to take risks, work through relationships and explore their world.

“Holly’s stuck at the lake for summer vacation, Usually she loves the lake. But not this year. This year, Mom and Dad aren’t staying. Her older brother Nick won’t play with her, and Gram never lets her do anything. When Holly hears the ancient and mysterious call of an owl, she’s certain he’s calling just to her.” – Mary Atkinson

Owl Girl is a novel for ages 6 to 10.
