Lincolnville Community Library Lincolnville Community Library The new Lincolnville Community Library opened on February 1, 2014, in a renovated one-room schoolhouse built originally in 1849.

The opening date was just fifteen months after nearly 200 people gathered to grab a long rope and help pull the shell of the old building, owned by the Lincolnville Historical Society, across Main Street to a formerly vacant lot. A large team of skilled volunteers and professional contractors spent much of 2013 renovating the schoolhouse, giving it everything from a new roof and clean white clapboards to insulation, refurbished windows, and a beautiful red-birch floor. They also built the addition that houses the workroom for librarians and a bathroom. Next to the library building, a crew led by women built the two wooden sheds for the Jackie Watts Open-air Museum that houses historical exhibits. Today the library is thriving, with a growing collection of books, free wifi, and regular programs such as author talks, a book discussion group, and a needlework group.

Curious about homeopathy and its approach to wellness?

Introducing Homeopathy: The Film

Thursday, October 22 at 6:00 PM
Lincolnville Community Library | 208 Main Street, Lincolnville

Curious about homeopathy and its approach to wellness? Join us at the library for Introducing Homeopathy: The Film, followed by a question-and-answer session with Louise Bakley, Doctor of Medical Heilkunst Homeopathy.

Discover how homeopathy approaches health by seeking to support the body’s own healing responses, while emphasizing the foundations of lasting well-being, including nutrition, hydration, restful sleep, and movement. The film explores the history of homeopathy, its practice today, and its vision for the future of natural health care.

Come learn, listen, and bring your questions for an engaging conversation about homeopathy and whole-person wellness.

Everyone is welcome!
