Events and Programs for November

Events and Programs for November

Please come join the Friends of Bridgton Library at the Book Shed on Saturday, November 6th from 9:00 am-noon for some great books at even better prices. All funds raised go to help the Library pay for programs and services for library users of all ages. With the proceeds of the summer book sale the Library was able to purchase 72 new nonfiction titles for youth services, including health, finance, vehicles, history, and countries around the world. Thank you, Friends, for your hard work and thank you to all those who support our book sales!

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

Our November reading challenge is Read Grateful. Sign up online or in-person. Earn raffle tickets for reading and for trying out some mindful activities as we move into winter. We will also be holding our annual Thankful Raffle. Earn a raffle ticket for each item you return through the month of November (remember, we never charge overdue fines, this is your chance to get a little extra reward for finding those lost items). There will be 20 winners of all ages, drawing on December 1st.

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

Just a reminder, we offer a member’s discount for any Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Workshop in special partnership with MWPA, please contact the library to get started! We also offer to pay the registration fee for any online UMaine Cooperative Extension Online workshop you attend, please let us know and we’ll take care of that for you!

We are accepting book donations for the Friends of Bridgton Library book sale. Please call us (207-647-2472) for more information. Remember, we have the Book Sale rack by the Main Circulation Desk that is available during our open hours. We will keep you posted as we know more about our Annual Book Sale plans.

While we cannot offer in-person workshops here, we have gathered together some online resources for you to help you get inspired, get involved, learn something new, and part of a different kind of community. 

The UMaine Cooperative Extension has an awesome lineup of online workshops, with a suggested donation of $5 per session. Can’t make a donation? That’s okay, we’ll make one on your behalf. We will make a donation for any patron who brings in or emails a copy of your program registration.

We have an innovative new membership here at the Library! We have partnered with the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance to offer online workshops for up to 5 library patrons at member prices. If the member prices are a little more than you can afford, please get in touch with the Library for our scholarship program.

Stay safe and well. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Amy Stone
