News

In Memory, we sadly note the passing away of Patricia Ramsdell Foster on February 2nd.    Pat was not only a past Director of the Library she was a true "friend".   She always had a smile and was an ardent supporter of the Friends of the Ellsworth Public Library.

NEW LIBRARY COOKBOOK  The New Library cookbook are for sale at the Library for $10.   Sale of the cookbook will benefit the Building expansion Fund. Contribute toward a good cause, acquire a good cookbook at a reasonable price, and try some new foods using recipes by the staff and the community of the Ellsworth Public Library.

BOOK SALE  The Saturday February 7th mini booksale on the main floor of the Library went well, with over $200 raised.  We will hold another Mini Booksale  on Saturday  March 14th from 9AM to 1PM.   We have discussed selling books on Gardening, Fix it up, Art, Sports and Travel but are still in the planning stages

Donations of books in good condition are always welcome; please just leave them at the Library during normal hours.

Totes!  We just got a new shipment of the Blue totes in and they are still $10, so please purchase one for yourself and remember they do make wonderful gifts.

Welcome Friends!

The Friends of the Ellsworth Public Library are community members working on behalf of the library to raise funds and increase community involvement in the library.

Volunteer

Volunteers always have a splendid time at the book sale. Thank You to all who participated in these events because through your participation we raise funding for the many programs not funded by the city.  If you can volunteer but were not called please leave a name and phone number at the circulation desk or get it touch with Melanie Zador.

Program Schedule

The spring programming is diverse and a lot of fun for all to see.  Your donations made it happen.  For current programming please check our newsletter and the library web site/Facebook.
