We know that summer is the time to relax and catch up with family and friends. We hope you stop by the Library and check out some of these great activities when you are in the neighborhood! 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 great books to challenge and entertain.
Our Summer Reading program is Read for the Stars, and Miss Samantha has been hard at work planning some amazing, out-of-this-world activities for tots through teens. Join us for 6 weeks of reading, story trail walks, crafts, raffles, and parties. Brochures are available at the circulation desks and on our website, www.bridgtonlibrary.org/youth-services.
The Friends of the Bridgton Library Annual Book Sale is in the courtyard on Saturday July 6th from 9:00am-1:00pm. There is a rain date of Saturday July 20th.
