"I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual."
Henry David Thoreau
Thank you for your patience with our construction.  It is in the final phase and the handicap ramp should be completed soon.  Our increased accessibility for all will make the inconvenience worth it!
Until it is finished, the door facing Rte. 121 will be the only access.   
As Thanksgiving approaches, we are filled with gratitude for the wonderful
patrons we see and hear from in the library, whether it is year-round or seasonally or just on occasion!  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!
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.  You may respond to our mailing or donate online to invest in your library:
