The Weld Free Public Library would like to purchase a 2025 pass to the Botanical  Gardens in Boothbay for the benefit of our patrons.

From May 1st to October 10, 2025 , an individual, couple, or family can request a date to visit the Gardens for free. Just sign up at the library! Restrictions apply. Please help us support the drive for this valuable asset for our town! The amount we are trying to raise for this fabulous resource is only $150. 

You can donate in person at the library Tuesdays and Thursdays 10-1 and 3-6 pm or online. Thank you!
