Multiple floors, beautiful, has a "librarian picks" section. Has a few study rooms. Public restrooms. We parked on the street for free (1 hr limit).

What a beautiful place. Has gorgeous art and such a great selection of books and media. I could hang out there for hours!!!

Clean, spacious, very helpful staff, with a wide variety of media to check out. The local history room's card catalogs could be better identified, though.

This was my first time visiting this library after moving back to Maine. I am highly impressed with the friendly staff, especially Jody, in the children's section and the well-kept collections. The atrium, art, and areas are beautiful. I'm very excited to return, again and again.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Yes, there are two staff who offer that service. It is best to call before arriving to make sure the staff members will be available when you arrive.

AARP tax help??

Unfortunately, AARP is not at the library this year. This is all the information we have about free tax preparation services in the area: https://www.bangorpubliclibrary.org/taxinformation AARP had been providing support at an alternate location in Bangor, but AARP has reached capacity for the season and is unable to schedule additional appointments. We look forward to partnering with AARP in future years, and we hope that the link above helps you. Please call our Reference Department at 207-922-6071 if you have questions about the tax information page linked to above.

Anyone reviewing this question should be aware it was answered in early 2020. In 2021, tax help is very different due to the COVID pandemic, and information can be found at https://www.bangorpubliclibrary.org/taxinformation
