AUGUSTA, Maine (WABI) – If you’re looking to beat the heat while also learning a thing or two, well your public library is the perfect place to go.
Including in Augusta where the Lithgow Public Library is open to anyone. They even have free memberships available to Augusta residents and at a cheap cost for others.
Not into books?
They also have plenty of other forms of media or just quiet, air-conditioned rooms to get some work done.
Currently, the library is setting up for their book sale set for the beginning of September and are asking for book donations from the public. The sale, among other fundraisers, are put together by the organization Friends of Lithgow Library who are looking to take the services even outside of the library walls.
“So the Friends of Lithgow Library are holding their book sale,” said Lithgow Library Director Sarah Schultz-Nielsen. “It’s September 4th, 5th and 6th. All of those funds go towards programming and especially the Friends are looking to establish a book-mobile here in Augusta. There’s only two other in the state, in Portland and Brunswick. Book-mobile is basically a mobile library that can go to places that people who maybe can’t come here, we can go to them and offer our services.“
The library has various programs available for all ages including as young as infants all the way up to older adults. You can learn more here.
