The Falmouth Memorial Library is the public library serving Falmouth, Maine.[1] The library is a private non-profit organization; approximately 75% of its budget is taxpayer-funded.[2]
The library is a member of the Minerva consortium of Maine libraries (shared catalog system)[3] and participates in the MARVEL! statewide virtual library service which provides access to full-text articles, citations, and abstract information from newspapers, magazines, and journals.[4]
Opened in 1952, the library currently occupies the Iverson House, formerly a private residence (built in 1908).[5] An addition, doubling the library's size, was constructed in 1995.[2] Another expansion to the library was planned and voted on in November 2014. Efforts to expand are moving forward. For more information, visit www.falmouthmemoriallibrary.org/our-new-library.
