AUGUSTA — After a long period of closure because of the COVID-19 pandemic and a significant facility relocation, the Maine State Library reopened its doors to the public July 12 at 242 State St.
The library’s permanent location at the Cultural Building on the State Capitol Complex was closed to the public in May 2020 after it was determined that significant repairs and upgrades were needed to the facilities mechanical systems. Since that time, the library has worked to identify temporary library space.
While the majority of the library’s collections are located at the Carleton Mill in Winthrop. Library staff will shuttle materials between the two locations as patrons request items.
