Grab a book and head out to your favorite State Park this Saturday! Admission is FREE—just show your library card.
On Saturday, September 20, show your BHML library card (or a card from any other Maine library) at the entrance of any participating Maine State Park for admission.
Maine State Library is delighted to partner with Maine State Parks for Library Card Sign-Up Month, said Lori Fisher, Maine State Librarian. With the fall season upon us, providing free admission to many Maine State Parks on September 20th is a natural extension of the types of services and resources that our public libraries provide regularly to their communities.
Don’t have a library card yet? Stop by BHML to sign up for your free library card! BHML cards are available for all year-round residents and seasonal property owners of Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, Edgecomb, and Southport, as well as peninsula employees.
Visitors to the area can purchase a year-long library membership for $35, which allows access to all of our lendable items (including our Library of Things!), items requested through ILL, and digital resources.
