This is YOUR Library

Waterford Library

Whether you come to pick up a good book, attend a Storytime, discussion group, weekly knitting circle, Friday coffee cafe, family community event, there is always something happening here at the Waterford Library. Thank you.

GET INVOLVED This is YOUR Library.

We welcome book or program suggestions. Your input and ideas are important. Your continued support and enthusiasm help make the Waterford Library a special place.

ITDRC GRANT Our entire Wi-Fi system was updated in 2019 thanks to a grant from projectConnect (ITDRC) Information Technology Disaster Resource Center to install upgraded Community Wi-Fi. An entirely new router, modem, 1000 GB Wi-Fi connector, and outdoor satellite extender unit were installed to consolidate the system, and all laptops were reconnected to the printer, assuring wireless connection for individual patron devices. The new system also connects into the NetworkMaine UniFi to collect user statistics. Hopefully, these efforts will resolve our long-standing issues. We are most grateful for the assistance of all these cooperating organizations.
