Bridgton Public Library

Creative Valentines To-Go in Youth Services

Thank you to the Rufus Porter Museum, our wonderful neighbors here on our cultural corner. They have put together some Creative Valentine To-Go bags, available in Youth Services while supplies last. Learn more about the history of the holiday and create your own special gift for a special someone.

Rufus Porter was an artist, musician, teacher, inventor, and founder of Scientific American magazine. He lived his life as a lifelong learner, something we really love here at the Library! So grab a To-Go bag, and maybe a book from our reading lists or non-fiction how-to collections.

It’s always a good time to say ThankYou
