StoryCorps in Waterville
 
StoryCorps is a national organization with a mission to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. As part of the Library's 2017 Institute for Museum and Library Services National Medal win, StoryCorps visited Waterville and recorded stories of people in our community. The Sanborn family were some of the participants. StoryCorps provided a 3 minute excerpt of the hysterical and heartwarming Sanborn family story. Listen below.

Support Your Library!
 
The Library depends upon donor support to offer programs like Rhymetime and other early-reader initiatives that build community and nurture young minds. Please help to support and celebrate our young readers and the caring people and programs that provide the foundation for a lifelong love of reading. When you make a gift to the Waterville Public Library, you are truly making a difference in a young person’s life. Few gifts are more important, longer lasting, and more life-changing than the gift of reading Please consider being a Waterville Public Library donor this spring!
