Our features shelf got an update last week due to some amazing volunteers!

Maybe we're a bit early for the fall theme but the first day of fall is just over 3 weeks away and we're reading for cooler weather & cozying up with a good book (or five) 🍁🍂📚☕️

Come check it out today until 4pm or Tuesdays/Thursdays 4-8pm!

Hey Buxton - don't forget, we have Maine Wildlife Park passes!

School is almost back in session so this could be a GREAT end of summer day trip with the kiddos!

Library patrons can come in when we're open to grab passes to get reduced entry into Maine Wildlife Park! Each pass is for ONE person and reduces the entry fee to 5$ per person. The pass you pick up from the library must not be photocopied - they'll only accept originals.

These passes are good for the entire 2026 season for Maine Wildlife Park - which ends in November.

For more information about Maine Wildlife Park, please head to their website at mainewildlifepark.com

As a reminder, we are open Sundays 12-4p and Tuesdays/Thursdays 4-8p so come on in to get your passes!
