The Early History of Morse Island, Friendship, Maine: 1790-1900 , written by Gary Baird, is now available at the Friendship Public Library.

This book offers a great look into what the early settlers of Meduncook Plantation (Friendship) faced as they carved a town out of the wilderness. The author has generously given the library copies to sell as a fundraiser for our planned library expansion. One hundred percent of the suggested donation of $20+ directly benefits the addition. To get a copy, call 207-832-5332 or email friendshippubliclibrary@gmail.com. We only accept cash or check (made out to “Town of Friendship Library Account”). Please include $5 if you would like to have it shipped. This book will make a great gift for anyone interested in Friendship’s history.

In January 2022, the library’s trustees approved the creation of a new website for Friendship’s library. After reviewing a few options, they chose Friendship’s own town health officer to design it for them.

In addition to simplifying the process to check out audio and digital books, the site includes a real-time marine weather forecast for our fishermen. Courtesy of Windy.com, the data-rich forecast is based on the ECMWF model, which for Friendship Harbor has been historically more accurate than the NOAA’s GFS model.

Over the next year, the library will be trialing new services, including the possibility of a streaming video service, so be sure to check the website for updates.

If you haven’t visited the library in person for a while, please come in, relax, and check out a few books.
