The Falmouth Memorial Library is the public library serving Falmouth, Maine.[2] The library is a private non-profit organization.
The library is a member of the Minerva consortium of Maine libraries (shared catalog system)[3] and participates in the MARVEL! statewide virtual library service which provides access to full-text articles, citations, and abstract information from newspapers, magazines, and journals.[4]
History
Opened in 1952, the library currently occupies the Iverson House, formerly a private residence (built in 1908).[5] An addition, doubling the library's size, was constructed in 1995.[6]
Starting in May 2019, funded by community donations, the library began an almost full renovation, adding new rooms and technological improvements.[7] During this time, the library's collection was moved to the Mason-Motz Activity Center at the Plummer-Motz School.[8] The renovations were completed in August 2020, and curbside pickup (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) began in October.
Notes
- Lower amount due to both the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in-progress renovations
