Thanks to the Cote family for sharing these awesome photos of their “Show Up for Your Library” boats. We love them! Did you know?

You can help us to continue making these available each week.

Winnie and Wilbur are back on Wednesdays - and they have a favor to ask! Unfortunately, guinea pig voices aren’t considered an approved form of support at City Budget Hearings… so they need you to go on their behalf. Show up for your library: Tuesday, April 7 at 6 PM Make Winnie and Wilbur proud! Let City Councilors know why you love our library (yes, visiting the guinea pigs counts!) so we can continue offering programs and services for all of the Biddeford community. Can’t make it? You can still help by sending a message here: https://www.biddefordmaine.org/2525/Online-Contact-Form
