We know you’re excited (we are too!), but the Maine State Library has asked us to remind people to please limit your requests to a few books at a time, so as not to overwhelm the system during the transition. THANKS!
ADULT PROGRAM
Understanding Sea Level Rise in Rockport Harbor
August 28, from 6:00 p.m.
This program was inspired by the storm events in January and March 2024 which highlighted the urgent need for increased awareness and action in coastal resilience planning. Bill Bow, of the Rockport Conservation Commission, will discuss the science behind sea level rise, its tangible effects on our coastal communities, and what the future may hold for Rockport Harbor. This is an opportunity for residents and municipal leaders alike to gain insights into protecting the harbor and preparing for challenges ahead.

The Friends of the Rockport Public Library introduces library lovers to each other while building connections throughout our community. Hosting meetings, events, and book sales, the organization supports the library on several levels. In past years, we have helped purchase library materials; supported the annual butterfly gardens; provided new book stacks and exterior railings; and funded programs that serve everyone using the library. CLICK HERE to learn more about volunteer and membership opportuntities.
The Foundation is an IRS 501.c3 not-for-profit organization formed in 2018 by a small group of dedicated Rockport residents to raise the required funding for the new Rockport Public Library. While we successfully raised the initial funding for the building and furnishings, we’ve now set our sights on developing a world-class speaker series. CLICK HERE to learn more.
