Little Lincolnville Community Library
Our Little Lincolnville Community Library at Lincolnville Beach is stocked with a wonderful variety of books for people to take and enjoy. There is no need to leave a book in exchange; people may read what they take and then keep the books or pass them along to someone else.
Lincolnville Historical Society
The library grew out of a project of the Lincolnville Historical Society and the two organizations continue to collaborate on programs. An area in the library is set aside for historical society exhibits and books. The society also maintains displays of historical objects in the nearby Jackie Watts Open Air Museum, which is open in the summer months.
