A library of more than books

The Spice Library

More than 60 spices you can check out with your library card, from smoked paprika to saffron to za’atar. Cook something new tonight without buying a whole jar.

The Library of Things

Snowshoes, a lawn mower, a movie projector, giant Jenga, coding robots. If you only need it now and then, don’t buy it. Borrow ours.

Free museum passes

Your library card is a ticket. Borrow a pass to Strawbery Banke Museum, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine.

About the passes →

Story times, Lego club, take-home crafts, and the Bruce McMillan Corner, where original hand-tinted photographs from Grandfather’s Trolley hang in the Children’s Room.
