Read Across America Day: Augusta Libraries
Dr. Seuss wrote of Great Places where "your mountain is waiting," and there are wonderful heights waiting to be scaled at the library. Is there a more fitting way to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday than Read Across America Day?
On Monday, March 2, take the whole family for a visit to one of these amazing local libraries suggested by our real estate agents.
- Lithgow Public Library - 45 Winthrop St., Augusta, ME 04330
With funding that included a $9,000 gift from iconic philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, the Lithgow Public Library opened in 1896.

Computers are available for use by all residents around Augusta homes for sale, with or without a library card, and free WiFi is offered for guests using their own digital devices.

The Show Must Go On at the Theater at Monmouth
According to Shakespeare, all the world's a stage, and he would be delighted with Theater at Monmouth, the year-round repertory company that's been entertaining local audiences since 1970. Here's a closer look at one of the most popular attractions near Monmouth homes for sale.
Bringing Shakespeare to Monmouth
Theater at Monmouth was established as a way to enrich the cultural landscape around Monmouth and the state of Maine. Professional actors from across the country present innovative approaches to the works of Shakespeare and other fascinating plays, from comedies to dramas.
Five years after it was founded, Theater at Monmouth was officially recognized as the Shakespearean Theater of Maine by the state legislature. Throughout 49 years of the three-month summer repertory season, TAM has staged upwards of 340 productions, including 28 world premieres.
