Testimonials

“Libraries, particularly the Orono Public Library, are about so much more than books. They are about fostering and supporting the community.”
“The library is where I’ve grown up finding my love of others worlds. The staff is so easy to talk to and quick to help me find all the books, especially when they have to be requested from other libraries.”
“When the library moved out of the high school, we hoped the free-standing library would have more space. More space is definitely required in order to better serve the public with more programs. It is a worthy effort for Orono and the university area.”
