Damariscotta library to host Giving Tuesday open house Nov. 28

DAMARISCOTTA — The Skidompha Public Library plans to host an open house from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 184 Main St.

Those who stop in can chat with board and staff, and have light refreshments.

The Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday has over the past 11 years come to be known as Giving Tuesday, a philanthropic companion to holiday shopping. This year, a major donor has pledged to match donations made to the library during the week of Giving Tuesday up to $5,000.

The vast majority of Skidompha’s funding comes from public support, making it a uniquely cooperative venture. The library’s ability to create programming, maintain collections, and provide services is a testament to the community’s dedication to robust public engagement.
