Mission

The mission of the Kennebunk Free Library is to serve the diverse cultural, informational, educational and recreational needs of the community by:

  • developing and promoting the use of resources, including informational materials, books, programs, technology and films, that contribute to literacy, informed citizenship and lifelong learning;
  • providing opportunity and encouragement for children, young adults and adults to educate themselves continually;
  • providing a welcoming and lively learning center for the community;
  • serving our patrons with expert and caring assistance;
  • providing facilities that are inviting and accessible; and
  • reaching out to all members of the community.

The Town of Kennebunk has supported its library since 1882. Building projects in 1907 and 1995 have given the town the beautiful building as it stands today. We invite you to tour our facility which preserves many of the fine features of the old library building, while offering library resources for the our time and beyond.

The Kennebunk Free Library is a private, non-profit organization, supported by town funds and by donations and governed by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees.

Patrons are encouraged to actively support the Library by:

  • Serving as a Trustee
  • Working as a Community Member on a Trustee committee
  • Joining the Friends of the Kennebunk Free Library
  • Volunteering in the Library
