Join the Board of Trustees
Love the library? Want to get involved?
Merrill Memorial Library’s Board of Trustees is seeking a new member. Trustees are 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. Trustees serve for a three-year term, and can be re-elected for an additional two terms.
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. All Yarmouth residents are welcome to apply.
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 by September 22, 2024.
Can’t find it in the catalog?
Can’t find the title you are looking for? Even if the title is new, or simply no libraries have purchased a copy 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. We will place you on hold for it as well if we do!
COVID Task Force
The Yarmouth Community Coronavirus Task Force is still ready with information and resources.
Need groceries, information, resources, or a person to talk to? Call 207-846-4763 (the library’s phone number). All calls will be returned within 24 hrs. Visit the group on Facebook.

Breaking Out of Reading Ruts… Try a new genre!
Have you read and re-read the same books and authors too many times? Are you looking for something new to break yourself out of a reading rut? Try a new genre!
See below a snapshot view of the following 10 genres (and sub-genres). Please use them as a gateway/portal to a new reading realm. 🙂 Just as an FYI, they aren’t in any particular order, though I’ve tried to place genres that are related close to one another on the list (i.e.: Fantasy, Magical Realism, and Science Fiction, etc.) Also, note that there is often a lot of overlap between genres so if you’d categorize a title or author in a different genre than I have, we are BOTH probably right. Finally, the suggested authors listed for each genre are in no way comprehensive. They are just a starting point.
If you have any questions or would like more suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Courtney at ckleftis@yarmouthlibrary.org.
