Mission Statement:

Our mission here at the Stratton Public Library is to offer as wide a variety of books and services as possible for the small town that we live in. We offer material for all age groups and welcome your suggestions. Besides our great selection of books, we have magazines, VHS videos and DVD's, and audio books on cassette and compact disc. We also have a small section of large print books plus some from Maine State Library on loan each month. For anything we don't have Maine State Library will loan it to us, so just ask! We have wireless internet and three computers which are available for public use at no charge.We are not part of Maine Infonet's audio download program but if you are a Maine resident you can get a free Maine State Library card online by going to https://www.maine.gov/msl/services/libcard.htm. Then click on go to register for a library card and they will email you a code so you can download books. You will then need to download the Cloud Library App to your device, go to  https://www.yourcloudlibrary.com/


Library Policy:

Library books are checked out for 3 weeks and videos for 3 days. There are no late fees but there is a container for donations on the counter. If a book is lost or needs replacing due to damage we maintain the right to revoke library privileges until said book is paid for. Library cards are free to residents of Stratton/Eustis, Coplin and Carrabassett, Kingfield and Rangeley, other nonresidents will asked to pay a refundable deposit of $25.00.


Computer Usage Policy:

There is no charge for the use of the computers. A charge of 25 cents per page, after 20 pages it will be 10 cents each and 50 cents for full color page. Same price for copies. All files you wish to save must be saved to a memory stick, disk or chip. As of now, there is no restriction on how long you use a computer, as long as no one else is waiting. If there is a waiting line, you must finish your session within 30 minutes. We are CIPA compliant.


Library Netiquette:

"Netiquette" is short for "Internet etiquette". Like everyday etiquette, it is based on respect for the rights of others, in this case, the library, its equipment, and its other users. Besides following the Computer Guidelines above, this means that you do nothing that might offend other users of the library or of the computers.You do not call up sites with explicit sexual references or graphics. If you should get onto such a site without meaning to, you get out of it right away (Clicking on <BACK> on the tool bar at the top is the fastest way).

We have books and magazines for all ages. We also have movies on VHS and DVD and Books on CD
