New Happenings at the Gilford B. Butler Center

We are pleased to announce the launch of an Evening Book Club at the Gilford B. Butler Center beginning March 19th at 6:00 PM, and continuing on the third Thursday of every other month thereafter.

The club will be spearheaded by Christina Kratzman, and all are welcome to attend. Whether you are an avid reader or simply looking to connect with others who enjoy great books, we would love you to join us. There is a sign up sheet at the circulation desk to receive e-mail updates.

Buy a book program

In addition, the library is introducing a new community-driven reading initiative. Participants are invited to purchase a current book, read it, and then donate it to the library’s New Additions shelf.

*Before purchasing any books, please contact us to confirm whether we already have a copy. Also, let us know which book you plan to buy so we can post it on the board. This will help us avoid receiving multiple copies of the same title. You can reach us at 207-596-0022.

If you particularly enjoyed the book, we will feature it at the top of the shelf with a short, personalized blurb from you explaining why you recommend it.

This is a wonderful way to share great reads and help grow our collection for the benefit of the entire community.

We look forward to seeing you!

Library Donations

Do you have used books to donate? We are currently accepting book donations that are no more than 5 years old. If you have good nearly-new books that you think would be a good addition to our circulating collection, please stop by or call us at 596-0022.

We are also accepting some books for our Classic section and will have a list of those titles at the circulation desk.
