Our Summer Reading Program begins in just a couple of weeks and we need your help keeping our prize box fully stocked!

We’re looking for donations of fun, kid-friendly rewards to fill our prize box: small toys, books, school supplies, and anything that would make a young reader roar with delight! (Our only request is that these items are new, and not food.)

If you’d like to help us unearth some joy this summer, check out our Amazon wish list: https://a.co/0bsVnrhu

Every donation helps us turn pages into prizes and reading into a prehistoric adventure. 🦕📚

Join us on Thursday, June 4 at 6:00 PM for a Skowhegan Select Board Candidate Forum at the library. This is an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates, learn where they stand on some issues affecting our community, and ask your own questions. This event will be moderated by Jake Freudberg from Central Maine News and recorded by Somerset Community TV. All are welcome.

*This candidate forum is intended to provide voters with information about the candidates. The Skowhegan Free Public Library, Central Maine News, and Somerset Community Television do not endorse, support, or oppose any candidate or political position.

The Skowhegan Town Meeting is Monday, June 8 at 7:00 PM at the Opera House

If you care about the library, or really anything in town, this is the one night a year you do not want to prioritize your pjs. (Trust me, I KNOW how hard this is. I have a brand new pint of Gifford's Cereal and Cream ice cream in the freezer and a true crime documentary all queued up.) This is the night where civic responsibility needs us to get off the couch.

Next Monday night is when our decisions magically turn into plowed roads, a working sewer system, and programs that keep this town running. And while it may not come with ice cream or a dramatic plot twist, it does come with real impact.

If you are a resident of this town, we hope you will make it a point to come out and make your voice and your vote count.

Voters will review the budget, a new homeless shelter ordinance, a moratorium on cannabis businesses and a new comprehensive plan.

We’re starting Session 2 of our pteranodon build! Come join us in the conference room until 5pm!
