More Resources!
Need help choosing books for your child? Have a topic coming up in schooling that you’d like to have books to supplement but don’t know where to start? Let the Children’s Room staff help you out! We’ll pull four books and have them on hold for you at the library. Please give us at least one business day to get your bundle ready.
We have passes for Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Dundee Park, Maine State Parks, Maine Wildlife Park, and Portland Museum of Art available for patron use. Contact the library (207-892-1908 ext. 3) for more information.
Need help fulfilling your homeschooling library skills requirement? Students in grades K-6 can meet with us for five sessions that cover things like touring the library, genre identification, and how to check out materials. Sessions last 10-20 minutes and include supplemental activities. Upon program completion, families will receive documentation of content covered.
