5 summer adventures your public library can help you get for free

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 8, 2026

The only thing you need to explore Maine this summer is a library card. Maybe you don’t have the budget for tickets to see a play or visit the Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens in full bloom, or you don’t have room in your home to store beach chairs or sporting equipment. Public libraries across the state offer all kinds of items and passes beyond books.
