Additional services include Interlibrary loan for materials we don't have, and e-books through the Cloud Library. Our new library catalog can be searched from your own computer or phone. We hope to provide an excellent library experience for the Bucksport, Orland, and Verona Island communities. Stay tuned to this site or follow us on Facebook to learn about future plans, and events.
