It’s time to put away the “beach reads” and stock up on books to cozy up with. The Friends of Rockport Public Library (FRPL) will hold their third book sale of the year on Friday, Sept. 19, and Saturday, Sept. 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Thousands of gently used books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and puzzles will fill the library’s lower level.
Most items in the sale are priced between $.50 and $5, with all proceeds directly benefiting the library. FRPL members are encouraged to bring their red totes for a $10 refill. Only checks and cash can be accepted at the sale.
Volunteers are needed for help with table and book set up, cashiering, and clean up. Please contact the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642 for more information.
Both the United States Congress and the Maine Legislature have recently taken aim at incentive programs that provide critical support to renewable energy projects in Maine. Many of these changes become effective in 2026 and are expected to have a dramatic effect on project development. Drummond Woodsum’s Energy Practice Group is closely tracking these developments and Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) advocates for clean energy policies in Washington, DC. Join ClimateWork Maine for a 1-hour informative discussion focusing on an overview of changes to federal tax credits for renewable projects as well as changes to Maine’s net energy billing program and what those changes could mean for your business.
