Any hiker who has been on a hike long enough to make a few town stops knows the important role a library can play. For many, the Millinocket Library is the last one they will visit on trail - maybe to book a flight home or upload all the photos off their camera before ending their hike. When I lived in Millinocket, I used the library all the time and was there at least twice a week checking out books for the low price of $25 for an out-of-towner seasonal library card.
Checking out a book in the Millinocket Library - a blast from the past with the old school card system.
The library in Millinocket could use your help. They are in the running to receive a $2000 grant from the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation. This grant could go a long way in helping a struggling trail town. Take a minute to vote every day from now until January 31st. You can find the Millinocket Library down in District 24 (the last one on the page). Thanks for your help, hikers!
