Preserving the past. Propelling the future.
Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library is planning for its next one hundred years of service. Since 1924, BHML has been providing library services to the Boothbay Region out of the former Chapman-Reed residence. Help us write the next chapter in a restored, safe, and accessible space that will empower the community–and democracy–for another century.

Libraries are the mainstays of democracy. The first thing dictators do when taking over a country is close all the libraries, because libraries are full of ideas and differences of opinion, all the things we say we want in a free and open society. So keep ’em, fund ’em, embrace and cherish ’em. — David Baldacci
Community events, anytime.
