Heather Logan, Cundy's Harbor Library

October has come to the harbor. This is the period when Harpswell slips from the summer buzz and crowded calendars to island life. From the library, I stand looking out to the New Meadows River. Many moorings no longer have their charges. The shoreline is busy with docks being taken in and homes being closed for the season.

June in the library was busy with our 66th birthday and volunteer celebration on the 27th. Our board worked hard on this event that honored our volunteers.

Sharing books brings connection, and at the end of a Maine winter, we certainly can benefit from such a connection. What are you reading?

A survey of our patrons shows respondents have an average of three library cards. A deeper dive tells us they often use the Brunswick or Portland libraries for digital materials, like audiobooks or streaming, while they use our library primarily for on-site book selections and programs. With so many choices available, what does Cundy's Harbor Library offer to Harpswell?

Hello from Cundy's Harbor! The summer season is fully underway as locals and visitors return to our little piece of heaven on Earth. Here at the library, we are checking books in and out, shelving and reshelving, and providing activities to accompany our story walks at Anna M. Tondreau Preserve, Cliff Trail, and Little Ponds Preserve.

It is April! With the return of daylight and warmer temperatures, the library is preparing for spring events. We are installing new story walks at Little Ponds Preserve and Anna M. Tondreau Preserve, along with Cliff Trail.

It is 2025 and Cundy's Harbor Library is welcoming both a new year and a new board. If you came to the Cundy's Harbor Fire Department Auxiliary craft fair, you may have had the opportunity to chat with several board members.

Wow! Did we survive this summer? Did we get to the beach enough, or out on the boat enough? How many chicken suppers or lobster rolls did you and your visitors consume? Did you make the ice cream socials?
