There’s always a big crowd at our April Break Nature Program – usually held at the Raymond Public Safety building. We’ve had both the Chewonki Foundation and Sparks’ Arks come, showing us their various owls, turtles, snakes – even an alligator! Check our calendar for this year’s date.

Summer Reading Program

Every summer starting at the end of June, the library offers an action-packed Summer Reading Program with hands-on activities and intriguing scientific information helping to keep young minds engaged during summer vacation. From building paper airplanes to learning about honey bees, making homemade goo to creating a terrarium, star gazing to making volcanos, there’s much fun to be had!

This program is for all ages, children through teens.
