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.
One of the goals at the Pembroke Library is to offer an extensive Maine Collection of books. To accomplish this goal, and with the timely receipt of grant funds, the library was able to purchase additional titles for the library's "new" Maine Collection. 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 several man-hours to clean, sort and re-shelve the many fiction and non-fiction Maine books we have into one cohesive collection.
