Programs & Services

There is something for everyone @ the Gray Public Library!

The Gray Public Library is a vibrant community center offering print, technology, and online resources for all Gray residents.  And with these resources they offer programs and services, special events and cultural opportunities. 

Now that spring is coming, we would like you to consider the programs and services at the Gray Public Library for your entertainment, education, and information needs.

For all families, and especially homeschooling families, the Gray Public Library offers passes to museums and cultural institutions that can enrich your time together.  Check out the Portland Museum of Art, Children's Museum of Maine, Maine Wildlife Park, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and the Pineland Petting Zoo, all for discounted or free admission.  These passes are available for all Gray Public Library card holders.  Please call the Gray Public Library Reference Desk (207-657-4110) for more information.

One of the newest services available to Gray Public Library members and funded by the Gray Public Library Association is Downloadable Audio Books. Simply click on the link on the Gray Public Library home page (www.gray.lib.me.us/) and log in using the barcode on your library card.  Access exciting titles and download them to your computer or portable listening device.  The title list is constantly expanding, so make sure to check in often.

Not sure what title you want?  You can also browse through the Downloadable Audio Books by subject.

Remember, this wide variety of downloadable audio books is convenient, simple to access, and free for all Gray Public Library members to use.  So take your books with you as you commute, or just listen in the comfort of your own home.
