Curtis Memorial Library

Curtis Memorial Library is a public library in Brunswick, Maine, housing collections of books, periodicals, and digital resources distributed across multiple floors. The building provides access to materials that serve both local residents and visitors.

The library was founded in 1883 by local citizens and received a major donation from William J. Curtis in 1903. This support allowed the construction of a permanent building on Pleasant Street.

The library maintains a collection of local newspapers available to visitors who want to explore the region's history and understand how the community developed over time.

The library is open daily for visitors seeking a place to research and borrow materials. The spaces are easy to navigate and include reading areas as well as computer stations for various needs.

A local benefactor declined Andrew Carnegie's offer of funding and instead donated a larger amount to enable better construction. This decision shaped the quality of the institution and shows how much the community valued the project.
