Maine Collection
The library's Maine Collection is an extensive assortment of books about Maine as well as books by great Maine authors like Stephen King, Sarah Graves, Paul Doiron, Richard Russo, Linda Greenlaw, E.B. White, etc. The Maine Collection includes both fiction and non-fiction books about Maine as well as yearbooks from the old Pembroke High School and several years of Pembroke town reports.
Many Changes to the Library's Maine Collection
One of the goals at the Pembroke Library was to offer an expansive Maine Collection of books that is easy for patrons to locate. To accomplish this goal, the dedicated volunteers moved the entire fiction section in the Main Room! After many months of planning, volunteers worked for several weeks to combine all of the library's Maine books into one location near the circulation desk. It took many man-hours to clean, sort and re-shelve the many fiction and non-fiction Maine books we have into one cohesive collection. With the timely receipt of grant funds, that funding was used to purchase additional titles for the library's "new" Maine Collection.
