Sadly, the opening of Story at the Landing at the Damascus Road Landing is delayed. Unfortunately, 3 posts and two post holders were stolen from the trail during the winter. These posts and holders are Town of Carmel, Maine property and were originally installed by the Town of Carmel . It is too bad someone decided that it was fun to ruin something kids enjoy. If you have any information about this, please call the library at (207)848-7145 or the Town of Carmel at (207)848-3361. We will let you know when things are rectified.
