Update 12/15/2020
We are implementing service levels for our pandemic response. The color-coded levels are based on the county risk levels for schools and other pandemic metrics. We are currently at the yellow service level. If numbers continue to get worse, we will move into the Orange service level. Orange means visits are limited to one household at a time for grab and go.
Our building is open to visitors for grab and go. Masks and 6' distancing required. 15 min. computer limit.
Interlibrary loan is available.
All the details about in-library services are on the COVID-19 page, including the service level colors.
Curbside is always available! Details are on the Pickup page.
Please help keep our community safe. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Carver Memorial Library encourages everyone, kids, adults, teens, and families, to take on our Reading Challenges! We encourage you to read widely and explore the library and the world around you. This summer the theme is “Imagine Your Story,” celebrating folk and fairy tales, imagination, and storytelling. It's also Maine's Bicentennial and Searsport's 175th anniversary! The challenges this year are Fairytales, Maine History, Searsport, and STEAM.
To complete each challenge, log reading and activities to earn an embroidered patch/badge. Independent readers read 5 books (appropriate to your reading level) and do 5 activities related to the theme. Family readers/children being read to/pre-readers read 10 books and do 5 activities. All the details and log sheets on our Reading Challenge page. |
