Community Calendar

Join us in practicing gratitude this holiday season! Show kindness and gratitude in big and small ways in the community to be entered into a drawing for a Falmouth Memorial Library bookbag! Here's how it works: Pick up a Gratitude Challenge booklet at the library. Fill out your name and phone number, and use the inspiration ideas in the middle to show gratitude around your community. Return the booklet to the Falmouth Memorial Library by December 30. We will draw a winner on January 2 and contact them to pick up a free library bookbag!

Join the Lewiston Public Library for Baby Sensory Playtime in the Children’s Department every Thursday* morning from 10am to 12pm, starting September 5th, 2024.
*(The Library will be closed on Thursday, 11/27 in observance of Thanksgiving & on Thursday, 12/25 in observance of Christmas)

Drop-in and join us for Baby Sensory Playtime! Babies and their caregivers will have the opportunity to interact with a variety of sensory toys and socialize with other families with young children.

Playtime with sensory toys contributes to a baby’s cognitive development, fine motor skills, social and emotional development, creativity, and language development.

Recommended for babies ages birth-18 months and their caregivers. Siblings are always welcome. This program is free, open to the public and no registration is required.

The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street and Lisbon St.

More information on Children’s programs is available by contacting the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3133 or LPLKids@lewistonmaine.gov.
