The Harpswell Neck Little Free Library is up and running right outside the Itty Bitty Coffee Shop on Harpswell Neck Road.  We are eternally grateful to Kelly and George for providing a welcoming home for this beautiful building, designed and executed by Carl Rich.

The Little Free Library has books for all ages — young children who can be read to, children who are just starting to read, young adults, and plenty for adult readers. If you haven’t visited, I recommend it.

We are working on getting a permanent home for the Harpswell Neck Library to provide a quiet place to use the internet, do homework, meet a friend or get tutoring.

Please keep us in heart and mind.

Elaine Baur, Harpswell Neck Library Association

Thank you to horse helpers

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to Animal Control Officer Jim Bebarski and all the law enforcement officers, friends and neighbors, some known to us and some not known, who helped round up our horses when they decided to make a break for it very early in the morning on March 5.

A better option than demolition

In 2022, the Mitchell Field Committee conducted a survey of more than 500 residents, which found that more than 55% were in favor of repairing and repurposing the administration building. The town commissioned the Midcoast Council of Governments to review the evidence and produce recommendations for the future of the building. After confirming that the building is structurally sound, the organization conducted a series of interviews and workshops. Finding a high level of support, it recommended inviting nonprofits to submit proposals to repurpose the building.

An opportunity squandered

When I first joined the Comprehensive Plan Task Force, I was excited to help shape Harpswell's future, particularly by ensuring the working waterfront and commercial fishing were prioritized. However, early meetings were disorganized, lacked a clear timeline and had minimal outreach efforts.

Finest public librarian we know

My wife and I are retired from careers as librarians and library science faculty. We hold library cards for Orr's Island, Curtis Memorial, and our library system back home — Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.
