Library's Summer Reading Program Continues Until September 30

When you find a book of interest in the library's catalog, you can click on the "More About This Item" button to read a summary, published reviews, or sometimes even a sample chapter or excerpt. (Older titles may not have any additional information available.)
Note: You must have your brower's pop-up blocker turned off in order for this feature to work!
If you are interested in finding, for example, only the movie version of a Harry Potter title, you can use the Limit/Sort Search button to limit your search to a particular "material type"-- in this case "DVD." If you are only interested in an audiobook on CD, you can select "spoken CD" as a material type.
Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on limiting your searches.
If you want to browse the catalog and reserve a number of items, you can avoid having to type in your name and barcode number each time you want to place a hold by logging into your patron record first. Once you are logged in, all you have to do to request an item is click on the Request button!
For instructions on logging into your patron record, click here.
We create catalog records for many our popular fiction titles for adults and children well in advance of their publication date. You can reserve these titles just like you would any other item in our collection.

New Library Cards Are Here!
The library's new borrower cards have arrived and are available for anyone who wishes to exchange their old single white card for the new card sets, which include one wallet-size card and two duplicate key tags. The new card option is being offered in order to make life easier for library users--while complying with Maine's strict confidentiality law. Using the new tri-part card, a patron can keep one card on their person while giving the two remaining copies of their card to other family members, a nanny or any other person whom they trust. For library patrons who have difficulty getting to the library during normal hours, this flexibility will provide a way to allow a spouse or other family member to pick up items that are waiting for them on the reserve shelf.

Get a reminder notice from us before your books are due!
If we have your correct email address in your library record, you will automatically receive an email reminder notice from us three days before your items are due. If you have borrowed books from other libraries through interlibrary loan, you will receive a reminder email notification from the libraries that own the materials you borrowed. Not sure if we have your email address on file? Give us a call at 799-1720.
