Love it here! I love to read and come here frequently to check books out. The people checking the…read morebooks out are always so sweet and pleasant. The inside is very clean and tidy! And they have lots of great books even some brand new ones! They seem to have lots of events for children as well. Glad this is the library in my town!

A work in…read moreprogress The Walker Memorial Library is Westbrook was constructed back in 1894 from private donations from the Walker family. Lots of libraries during that time period were built by money from individual citizens or families. The library is lovely from the outside, a huge and looming Gothic type of structure that was typical of the time. And like many lovely libraries built over a century ago soon proved to be too small so various additions were added over the years. The library is once again being renovated to make it more efficient and user friendly for the twenty first century. Unfortunately that means the very old part is going to be closed to the public for a while. Too bad, because as far as I'm concerted that is the best part. The library still is pretty cool but not nearly as large as it looks from the outside. Still has just about everything you would expect from a library but you kind of have to put up with the construction being done. Hard to really give this library it's full due. It does have some very cool windows, lots of flowers both inside and out and some friendly librarians. Not a whole lot of books and other materials or cool places to sit but then a large portion of the cool library isn't available. Hopefully the money will be raised and the work finally completed and the venerable, historic and lovely old library will once again be ready to continues into the next century.

This is a great local library that I have been coming to since I was in elementary school! It has a…read moregreat selection of both adult and kids books as well as many children's programs to incentivize summer reading. It is clean, well lit, and the staff are very helpful and friendly! Though it is not the fault of the library, there does tend to be a lot of screaming and rambunctious children running around (especially in the summer) but they have a conference space available for those looking for somewhere quiet to work. Recently I was having an issue with my computer accessing my google drive on their wifi and needed some help trouble shooting it. I was so lucky to have several PML employees try to help me, including a gentleman named Thomas. When he couldn't figure out the issue, he let me use one of their computers to access my documents so I could keep working! Little did I know that while I worked, he was still looking into the issue. After about 1-1.5 hours he came to me and explained what he had done, and I was able to access my drive once again. His quick help allowed me to submit my graduate school applications completely and on time. Thank you to Thomas and all of the kind and helpful staff at PML!!!!

A growing library…read more The Cumberland library was opened in 1921 and was constructed in a basic, brick colonial style with some granite trim and a nice slate roof. Very pleasant but it wasn't exceptional large and over the decades it become obvious that a larger library was needed. Fortunately there was room on the property to expand so expand they did. Major additions in 1959,1987 and1996 increased the size of the library dramatically. The library is long and rambling with lots of interior space so there is plenty of room to move around and not be crowded. The original part is still open and makes quite an interesting contrast to the rest of the building. The library has lovely areas to read with lots of plants and natural light as well as a great area for kids, complete with huge stuffed critters and play areas. An interesting library that has grown and expand along with the town of Cumberland. It will be interesting to see if it continues to expand in the future.

A little lighthouse…read moreof knowledge The Thomas Memorial Library in Cape Elizabeth is a very long library. I couldn't find out much about the history of the building but I suspect it had an original part built by William Widgery Thomas and then kept growing and expanding through the years. A very distinctive and unique place that just oozes charm and charisma. Even through it has been around for a while the library is very modern and has all the conveniences that would expect. Lot of the books, magazines and a cool young adult room, children's room and even a lounge area where people can unload their kids while they look around. A very user friendly place. But just being functional and pleasant isn't what makes this library so special. It is a very cool building with all kinds of great art and history. Such a strange and long building, it has surprises around ever corner. We had a great time here because everyone, from the librarians to the other users of the library, were just so pleasant and friendly. Still a place to meet and talk to people and not just look for books. The outside or the library is lovely with gardens and flowers everywhere. Everything about his library is so unique, cool and special. I've been to a whole lot of libraries but the William Widgery Thomas library is definitely in my top five. It is that cool and special. William Widgery Thomas summed it up when he wrote, " I hope that this will prove a little lighthouse of knowledge... It is for you, inhabitants of Cape Elizabeth, to keep the lamp burning so that it shall shine over this town forever".
