Public Libraries

While the LCS Library does the best to try to meet the needs of our students, sometimes the newest or most popular books seem to always be checked out. Our local public libraries can be great resources (books, movies, programs and more), and Lincolnville students can get FREE library cards at the Lincolnville Community Library, Camden Public Library and Belfast Free Library. To get a new card, students will need to accompany a parent or guardian to the library, and complete a quick library card application.

Please check the library sites for specific hours and available services:
