If you were thinking of using the Library's pass for free admission to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens on May 29, 30, or 31, please take note that the pass is not usable for these 3 special days. Instead, follow the link for your free tickets directly from the Gardens!

Mainers: Have you grabbed your Maine Days tickets yet?

Maine Days returns to the Gardens on Friday, May 29; Saturday, May 30; and Sunday, May 31, and free tickets for Maine residents are still available—but they won’t last forever.

If you’re hoping to visit during this special weekend, now’s the time to reserve your spot. Tickets are first-come, first-served, with a limit of 8 per household. Advanced reservations and a valid Maine ID are required.

Reserve your “Maine Days” here: https://www.mainegardens.org/classes-and-events/maine-days-admission-tickets/?utm_source=FacebookPost&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Admissions&utm_content=MaineDays

Not from Maine? A limited number of tickets are still available for purchase each day, but note that we do expect it to be a very busy weekend.

With American authors, an Irish novelist, and the English writer infamous for "It was a dark and stormy night," browse the display to discover an author who could be new to you.
