Magazines! In The Library?!?!?!

Do you feel magazines are too expensive to subscribe to or to buy individually?  Here’s a reminder that you can borrow them for free at the Gardiner Public Library.  We have a selection of over 25 titles some of which are:  Antiques & Fine Arts, Consumers Reports, DownEast, Entertainment, Kiplinger’s, Money, Nation, People, Rolling Stone, Time, and Yankee.  Check them out !

Maine State Park Pass

Here is a reminder to our patrons that the Gardiner Public Library will once again be providing a Maine State Park pass for you to use free by checking it out with your Gardiner library card.  The pass goes out for three days on a first come/first served basis and allows a vehicle and all its occupants’ free access to a State Park in Maine.

 

Enjoy the warm weather now that it has arrived!

 

Museums

Maine has some other great art museums besides the Portland Museum of Art that are perhaps not necessarily on your radar.  For future planning, I would like to suggest an upcoming exhibit at the Bates College Museum of Art at the Olin Arts Center in Lewiston.  Beginning in June and running until October, Bates College Museum of Art will be featuring Maine’s own Dahlov Ipcar in a show that is drawn mainly from private collections.  Find out more about this exciting exhibit at the Bates College Museum of Art web site – http://www.bates.edu/museum/exhibitions/upcoming/dahlov-ipcar-a-life-in-the-arts/
