The Value of your Library Calculator

This tool lets you enter your library usage (how many books and movies you check out, how many reference questions you ask, etc.), and see a dollar figure of how much using your library saves versus buying all these materials from a store. You can use this to estimate your savings from using the library on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis.

Please visit the calculator at Maine State Library to calculate the value of your library use.

Email Notices

Email notification of library reserves and overdue notices.
For patrons who check their email every day it might be worthwhile to receive faster notification of the arrival on their reserved library items as well as finding out about overdue materials earlier. Reserve notices are sent when items become available for checkout; overdue notices are sent as a courtesy when items are past due. Bills are excluded from e-mail notification.

Library Newsletter: Receive information about upcoming events at the library for kids, teens and adults. We'll also include information about other services we provide, so that you can take advantage of all we have to offer. Sign up today!

As with other library information, the privacy of your e-mail address and communications are protected under state law (Wis. Stat. 43.30). They will never be given away, sold, or traded to a third party.

Recycle

You can recycle your used printer cartridges and cell phones at the library!
