LIVERMORE FALLS — Treat Memorial Library will begin curbside pick-up for materials starting Wednesday, June 3.

Materials may be requested/reserved by calling 207-897-3631, emailing treatdirector@treat.lib.me.us, or online through the library’s catalog, https://treat.biblionix.com by logging into patron’s account. Phone and email requests need to be as specific as possible. There will be a limit of five items per account. A staff member will call to set up an appointment for pick-up. Returned materials are to be placed in the book drop.

Times for pick-up are as follows: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday; 2 to 7 p.m. Thursday; and 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Inter-library loans are not available until further notice. All nonresident library accounts will have the expiration date extended by 11 weeks to compensate for the time the library was shut down. Regular overdue notices will resume Saturday June 6, but no late fees will accrue until further notice.

For several years now, June has been “Food for Fines” month, when nonperishable food was accepted instead of money. The library staff is asking everyone to donate to their local food bank/pantry this year.

The summer reading program for 2020, “Imagine Your Story,” begins Saturday, June 20. Every book or 30 minutes read has a cloud added to Castle in the Clouds. The more clouds, the more donated to the The Tri-town Ministerial Association Food Cupboard. Pick up a summer reading take-home kit through curbside pick-up. Kits are available for ages 0 to 12 and 12 to 18.
