The Next 100: Library users (and non-users!) share your thoughts!

Tue, 01/04/2022 - 3:26pm

BHML trustees, staff, and volunteers are getting ready to prepare Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library for its next 100 years!

Yes, we know, the world is changing faster than we can publish this post; how can we plan for the next 100 years?!

Well, there’s one thing we know: our mission to create a welcoming space in which to explore ideas, foster community, and nurture individual growth through open access to the tools to learn, dream, connect, and do will never change…but it will always adapt!

Let us know how you use this free public space today, and how you might dream of using it in the future.

Thank you for your time!
