The Bridgton Public Library hosts a story time every Friday, including on September 25th. The library also hosts on the last Friday of each month from 2-4:30 pm Project Home, which provides rental agency services, resident service coordination, and eviction prevention services in partnership with landlords to rent to tenants who have experienced homelessness and/or housing insecurity throughout Maine. They also offer 1-1 Tech Help from 2-4 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And they have a plant propagation station that people can drop off or pick up plants, located at the entrance to our youth services area.

They provide access to educational, informational, and recreational resources in a friendly, safe atmosphere while being responsive to the changing needs of the community.
