Hubbard Free Library

Vote for HFL in the Community Matters More Sweepstakes! Bangor Savings Bank will again be awarding grants of $5,000 to the top vote-getting organizations in each region (we're in the Central region), as well as $1,000 grants to 60 additional organizations. Go to Community Matters More and write in Hubbard Free Library Hallowell Maine today. (Actually, when you click on the Other box, to do your write-in, Hubbard should come up. But if not, write it in!)

Having trouble accessing our catalog from home? There have been some changes made "behind the scenes," so you may need to type in our URL (www.hubbardfree.org) fresh, rather than clicking on it in your Favorites. Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

If you plan to participate in the Altered Books Workshop at Harlow Gallery on February 4, the Hubbard Free Library has a selection of old books available at the Circulation Desk that you can choose from. There are books available at the Harlow Gallery as well.
