It's Back! It's Back!


Yes, the staff at FML is jumping with joy! The interlibrary loan request service is back up and running again as of this afternoon. We've heard from a lot of our patrons while this wonderful service was down. Believe me, we've missed it as much as you all have.

So, that list of books you've been waiting to request? Go to our catalog, start choosing your titles and hit that request button!

It's Over


That's it folks, until next year. The Summer Reading programs at the Falmouth Memorial Library have ended. The adult program was fun, low key and we hope to continue it next summer. We'd love to have your feedback and ideas whether you participated or not.

The children's Be Creative @ Your Library was a huge success! Mrs. C reports there were over 600 children registered and over 300 children completed the program! Hat's off to all those who participated. The end of the program ice cream party was a big hit, as well as the puppet show.

Thank you to everyone who helped our staff during these summer programs. The final "goodbye" will be when the quilt is raffled off at our Annual Meeting on Monday, September 14th. Raffle tickets are available for sale at the circulation desk.

Hey, Where's the Request Button?

Many of our patrons have noticed a change in our online requesting service. There's no Request Button!
Falmouth Memorial Library participates in the state-wide delivery service which has been temporarily stopped due to loss of service. Please refer to the Portland Press Herald's front page story from Friday, July 17th's issue for additional information.

We all miss this great service and appreciate everyone's understanding while the staff @ FML deals with this issue.

The staff can still place holds on items owned by Falmouth Memorial Library for our patrons, please call us at 781-2351 or e-mail @ library@falmouth.lib.me.us!

Summer Reading

Today is the kick-off for the Falmouth Memorial Library's Summer Reading program! The library was packed this morning with families signing up for the Childrens' Summer Reading program! Don't forget, all participants who want to attend the Magic Show tomorrow, June 23rd, you need to bring in your reading log. The Magic Show is open to children participating in the Summer Reading Program.

Adults, you don't need to be left out. We have a Summer Reading Program for you as well. You don't need to sign up, but if you want to be eligible for the weekly prize drawing, drop your reading list into the beehive near the circulation desk. Celebrate Creativity this summer at Falmouth Memorial Library.

"Be Creative" Programming


Did you miss Beekeeping with Erin MacGregor-Forbes? We hope to have her back to discuss the ins and outs of beekeeping.

Magazine Swap




Do you have a collection of current magazines at home? Are they stacking up after you read them? Looking for a new home for them? Bring them to the library's Magazine Swap Room where others can share them. The Magazine Swap room is located off from the Audio Room. Used, current magazines can have their lives extended here at Falmouth Memorial Library!
