Love the library? Want to get involved?

Merrill Memorial Library’s Board of Trustees is looking for new members. Trustees are unpaid volunteers who work with the Library Director and town leadership to provide strategic oversight for the library. The Board meets once a month and performs various other tasks as needed. However, the time commitment is not onerous.

The Trustees and staff of the Merrill Memorial Library are committed to providing a broad range of information, services, and opportunities to the entire community in an environment that is welcoming, stimulating, respectful and supportive. If you would like to support the library’s mission by serving as a Trustee, please send your resume or CV and a letter describing your interest and any particular skills, experience or perspectives you would bring to the position to trustees@yarmouthlibrary.org. All Yarmouth residents are welcome to apply.

Applications accepted through June 30.

If you call a photo of yourself a “selfie”, what do you call a photo of a bookshelf? A shelfie!

If browsing is your preferred way of using the library, then check out our page of shelfies. We know you would rather be inside the library building, but we will do our best to post photos of our shelves here and on Facebook so you can pick your next book

Are you searching for a book that you are unable to find? Perhaps the book is brand new, and none of the libraries have a copy of it yet. You can still request it.

Fill out this form with as much information about the book as you know, include your name, card number, and your email address or phone number, and we will consider purchasing it for the library. You will be the borrow it if we do.
