April is ! While National Library Week (April 19–25) is worth celebrating, we’re taking it a step further—because there’s just too much to love about Maine’s libraries to fit into one week.

We’re excited to share that Governor Janet Mills has officially proclaimed April 2026 as Maine Library Month, recognizing the vital role libraries of all types play in strengthening communities across our state.

From supporting lifelong learning and expanding digital access to fostering connection, creativity, and civic engagement, Maine libraries show up for their communities every day. This month is all about celebrating their work, highlighting their impact, and reminding people why libraries matter.

How will you celebrate Maine Library Month? Share your plans, programs, and stories—we’d love to amplify them.

We are grateful for Julie’s dedication to the library and the many ways she has served our community over the years. Her contributions have been meaningful to both patrons and staff, and we wish her all the best in this next chapter.

During this transition, library services will continue as usual. We will share updates as they become available. Our dedicated staff remains committed to serving the community and we are all working to ensure a smooth leadership transition.

We appreciate your patience and support as we move forward. Thank you for being part of the Cumston Public Library community.
