Charles M. Bailey Public Library, Public library in Winthrop, Maine.
Charles M. Bailey Public Library is a public library in Winthrop, Maine, housed in a granite building on Bowdoin Street. The structure was designed by architects John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens and combines classical architectural details with modern library functions.
Charles M. Bailey donated the building in 1916 as a library for the Winthrop community. It became an established educational resource that served multiple generations of residents as a center for learning.
The library organizes educational programs, including Video Game Club sessions for teens and regular storytimes for children throughout the year.
The location is accessible Monday through Saturday with varying operating hours and offers digital resources, computer terminals, and free WiFi. Visitors should check hours in advance as they may vary by season and day of the week.
After a fire in March 2009 damaged the building, the library relocated temporarily to Town Hall. It reopened in the restored building by August of that year while modernizing its services.
