History

The new Lincolnville Community Library opened on February 1, 2014, in a renovated one-room schoolhouse built originally in 1849. The opening date was just fifteen months after nearly 200 people gathered to grab a long rope and help pull the shell of the old building, owned by the Lincolnville Historical Society, across Main Street to a formerly vacant lot.

Jackie Young Watts Open-air Museum

The Lincolnville Historical Society’s open-air museum was built in the summer of 2013 to display historical items such as fishing boats, ice cutting tools, lime industry artifacts, and large agricultural implements that depict the life of Lincolnville residents in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is open for viewing in the spring, summer and fall.

Library News

Dear Library Friends,

On behalf of the Lincolnville Community Library, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported our annual Plant Sale on May 17th.

Once again, we were deeply moved by the incredible rally of support from our neighbors, volunteers, local gardeners, and visitors. Whether you donated plants, lent a helping hand, or came out to shop, your involvement made the day a joyful and successful event. It’s not just about the plants—it’s about the spirit of togetherness and shared purpose that fills our library grounds each spring.

Your generosity helps sustain the library and its programs throughout the year, making it a vibrant center for learning, creativity, and community connection. We are so grateful to live in a town where people show up, pitch in, and care so deeply.

Thank you for being such an important part of our library family.

With appreciation,

Kristina Landi, Library Director
