Lithgow Library

A public library is the cornerstone of every community. By promoting literacy, providing free access to information, and serving as a neighborhood gathering space, libraries play a big part in helping better the lives of everyone around. 

In Augusta, we're very lucky to have the Lithgow Public Library, which offers services residents of all ages can utilize. Our real estate agents are always talking about the library's wonderful features, which benefit adults, teens, and children. Here are several ways the library can benefit you: 

  • Your Library Card Offers Streaming Access
    Your library card isn't just for checking out physical books, it can give you free access to a wide variety of content platforms offering e-books, audiobooks, newspapers, periodicals, comic books, TV shows, movies, and more. You can enjoy the benefits of the library from home when you have a local library card!

  • The Library Can Help You Find Employment
    The library offers free help for job seekers. The Maine Employment Resource sponsors a free workshop with a career consultant at the library every Friday from 10 am to 2 pm. If you have questions or ideas or are simply looking for guidance, stop by to speak with an expert. The library also sponsors LinkedIn learning sessions and online resume workshops.
     
  • The Library Has Programming For Teens
    The library has tons of programming and events created for teens, including movie nights, library-sponsored bowling outings, and crafts. There is also a teen book club, and video games are available. If you have teens who would enjoy spending time at the library, there are some beautiful Augusta homes for sale just down the street. 

  • The Library Hosts Reading Challenges For Kids
    Spark a love for reading at a young age when you take your kids to the local library. Lithgow Public Library not only has a variety of books to choose from but kids are rewarded for completing books. The library makes it easy for kids to participate in reading challenges and track their progress via the Beanstack app. Challenges often set meaningful but achievable reading goals, such as 16 total hours of reading over summer break. Additionally, the library hosts science seminars, craft sessions, and even concerts suitable for kids of all ages. 

  • The Library Can Help You Start A Business
    Starting your own business is easy with the Lithgow Public Library. The library has compiled all the information you need to know about starting a business at the federal, state, and local levels. From starting a business plan to navigating tax situations, the library is available to help you succeed as you start your entrepreneurial endeavors. 

No matter your age, spending time at the library can benefit your life in numerous ways. The Lithgow Public Library is just one of many great Augusta community assets and one of the many reasons why residents love calling this area home. Contact us for more information about living in our area.
