The Memorial Library
 Opening day is Monday, June 22. The Memorial Library building is located in Furber Park across the
street from the Ocean Park Soda Fountain. Carolyn Barstow, an English
teacher in Scarborough, Maine, is in her 36th year as librarian. Current
children’s and adult books, as well as newspapers, are available. The
library is open to the public on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
from 12:00 to 9:00 pm; Saturdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm; closed
all day Wednesday and Sunday.
Library rates per family are as follows:
$15/season, $10/month, $5/week for non-OPA members. Use of the
Library is free for OPA members. For more information call 934-1853.
The Tails to Read children’s program is at the Library every Tuesday, 5:00 to 6:00
pm, June 30 to August 25. The program is designed to give children the opportunity to
read aloud to an attentive, patient and non-threatening audience – a certified Therapy Do. Furry friends Gracie and Jasper will return this summer with their human Therapy
Partners Carol and Peg. Children will need to sign up at the Library on the Monday
before each Tuesday session. Children will have 10 minutes of 1-on-1 time with the
dog of their choice (and its human partner). They should choose a book before
their appointment. Improve your reading skills and confidence by reading a tale to
someone with a tail! Furry hugs and kisses for all of our readers!
The Story Hour is every Thursday, 4:30 to 5:00 pm, July 2 to August 27. Volunteers
from the community read stories to children in the children’s section of the Memorial
Library. Volunteer readers will be assigned and coordinated by Rosemary Salisbury,
(603) 431-4952. Contact Carolyn Barstow for more information, 934-1853.
