The Friends of Freeport Community Library and the Freeport Conservation Trust generously donate several family museum and park passes each year to patrons of Freeport Community Library. All passes are good for either free or reduced admission.
It’s easy to reserve your pass. Simply pick a date and contact the library to see if the pass is available. When you stop by the library to pick up the pass make sure to bring your library card. Passes can only be issued to card holders in good standing. We are only able to issue one pass a day for each attraction so if your plans change, let us know so that the pass may be used by others. Please give us a call at 207-865-3307 to reserve a pass or for more information.
Attention Pownal and Durham Residents!
Did you know that courtesy of the Freeport Lioness-Lions Club, one-year nonresident library memberships have been donated to your town offices?
They are distributed on a first come, first served basis for anyone needing help paying the nonresident fee required to join FCL. One membership covers all who live in the household for one year.
Call your town office and inquire about the availability of one of these generously donated certificates.
We look forward to seeing you at Freeport Community Library!

We've loved seeing the numbers of books read and math problems done. So far this summer, kids have read 1905 books and have done 915 math problems! We'll draw and contact the winners of the raffles on Friday, August 6. Good luck!
