Thanks for checking out what we have going on at CPL!!
Thank you for your patience with our construction. The door from the parking lot will be open Feb 1 with access from the stairs only because the railings for the ramp are not yet installed. Please use caution and be aware that there are cones marking the edge of the stairs where proper grading has not yet been done. 
Please support our 2017/18 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 help 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!
