Welcome to Carver Memorial Library
Serving the town of Searsport, Maine since 1910.
Please help keep our community safe.
The library is closed to the public at least through April 8, and will then reevaluate. More details here.
Stay well, and we look forward to seeing you at the library once the public health emergency is past.
You can contact the library over social media (Facebook and Instagram) or by email (staff@carverlibrary.org), as we may not always be able to answer the phone. We will try to check and return messages periodically. We are happy to answer questions and connect you to some of the numerous resources available online to help pass the time.
