School is back, and so is our after-school crowd!

We're looking for donations of individually wrapped nut-free snacks, mini bottles of water, and cans of seltzer for kids and teens who stop by the library after school.

Take a look at our wish list, shop wherever you like, or have donations delivered directly to the library.

Our first monarch has emerged!

One of our monarch caterpillars has completed its incredible transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly—and it’s beautiful.

Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of Prince Memorial Library and the Janet Hotham Memorial Fund, several local families have had the opportunity to experience this remarkable lifecycle up close through our Raise a Monarch Butterfly at Home program.

Unfortunately, due to a cloudy forecast for the weekend, our annual Star Party has been CANCELLED.

We were looking forward to an evening of stargazing, ice cream, and community fun, but the weather isn't cooperating this year. We hope you'll join us when we bring the event back next summer!

A special thank-you to our partners at Southern Maine Astronomers for their continued support, expertise, and enthusiasm in helping make this event possible.
