Thanks for checking out what we have going on at CPL!!
Thank you for your patience with our construction.  It is almost complete, just the stairs and railings remain to be completed.  Our increased accessibility for all will make the inconvenience worth it!
Please support our 2017 Annual Appeal. We are very grateful for the support we receive each year from the Town of Casco but our fundraising endeavors are an important part of our budget and helps to ensure we offer an up-to-date collection, enriching programming and a top-notch facility and technology for our community.  CPL loves its community of patrons.  No matter where you call your full-time home, we want you to feel at home with us.  Thank you for a fabulous year!
