Evergreen was founded in 1951 as the S.D. Warren Credit Union located in Westbrook. The mission was to serve the employees and families associated with the S.D. Warren paper mill. Sappi later purchased the mill and continues to operate on the same site today. As we grew and our membership expanded, we changed our name in 1999 to Evergreen Credit Union. To accommodate further growth, we built and moved into our new corporate offices at 225 Riverside Street on the western edge of Portland, one mile from our founding site at the mill. To gain efficiencies and better serve all Cumberland County, Evergreen merged with Greater Portland Municipal Credit Union (GPM) in 2007. The GPM corporate office on Broadway in South Portland became our fourth branch, adding to Portland, Windham and Naples. In 2018 we added York County to the communities we serve.

Everyone loves a good book sale, and EVERYONE loves the annual book sale at the Bridgton Public Library!
This year’s sale will be Saturday, July 6, and we need volunteers to help us! From moving tables and boxes of books, to helping patrons and collecting payments, it’s a fun and worthwhile way to support your local Library! The funds raised last year helped to sponsor writing workshops, author talks, children’s programs, community interest workshops, and many other things.
Please click on the link below to indicate how you’d like to help. If you have any questions, you can call Trish at 632-4143.
We at the Library are thankful for all the support you give us throughout the year!
