Berry Memorial Library The library is located at 93 Main Street in Bar Mills across from the Buxton-Hollis Historical Society. We are open Tuesdays 11-5, Thursdays 4-8 and Sundays 11-2 This year we had the Wildlife Park Pass available for patrons to use fromApril to November from 9:30-4:30. Visitors can stay in the park until 6:00pm. This discounted pass permitted each visitor (four years old and older) to pay $3.50 each admission. Each summer the library participates in the summer reading program. The summer reading program initiatives have included books, crafts, incentives, and events. Each week children books are on display and a craft is available every week to inspire creativity and imagination. The Library has been purchasing books to complete series that were not completed and we continue to purchase new best sellers and books upon request from our local patrons. As a resource center, the library continues to be available on week nights and weekends; weekends to allow organizations the space for meetings. If you would like to use the space feel free to contact the Director personally. We receive year round requests for books and crafts from our patrons that give us guidance into what our community wants and needs. All of our materials are circulated for a three-week loan period. The library offers a variety of books and our collection is growing every day. The library has a small year round book sale and each book is only 25 cents. We also have a new annual book sale/ bake sale which was a huge success this past year. Follow our facebook page for upcomming events, or visit our website! The library over the years has had many wonderful volunteers and trustees and I would like to thank them for their support and commitment to making the library a great resource center!

Respectfully Submitted,

Kathryn Smith Library Director
