Our loyal guests know that each year we strive to make Bands for Books better than the previous year. Bands for Books 2025 was a wonderful year, and we realized our highest profit. We are thankful for our volunteers, our guests and our sponsors who made this possible.
All monies received will be used to support our Library. Last year, we were able to provide the Library with funds for operating expenses, the Summer Reading Program, Adult Programs, Young Adult Programs and the Inter-Library Loan System. This year, we are covering the expenses of renovating the children’s bathroom.In total last year, our fundraising efforts provided in excess of $12,000 for our library! We were able to do all this as a result of your generosity.
Please mark your calendars for this special event. We strive to keep this event affordable and ticket prices remain at $20 prior to the event and $25 at the door. Tickets will be available for sale at the library beginning July 7. If you have any questions, would like to be a Sponsor, donate an item for the Silent Auction, or to reserve tickets, please contact Lynn Maloney (207-798-2831 or lynnmaloney5@yahoo.com)
