Not only has the library been a space to find the latest good book, it’s a place to connect with people, learn something new, peruse a newspaper or magazine, read to a child, relax by the fireplace or borrow a CD or audiobook for the drive home, library officials said. Members of the community can participate in our Community Book Club, see a movie, enjoy an exhibit, meet artists and authors, listen to music, do a puzzle, play a game and more, all for free.
The Feb. 8 event will include a chance to win a door prize, and there will be tours of the library and Western Maine Center for Children, light refreshments and birthday cake.
