Free walk-in wireless access is available.  Come in with your laptop, phone, or tablet and look for the network that says “Graves Memorial Library”.  For more information please give us a call at (967-2778).

What’s Your Story?
Have you heard about our Interview Show?  Each week, our Library Director, Mary-Lou Boucouvalas, sits down with a community member and talks to them about where they came from, what they do, what their interests are, etc.  A great way to get to know who lives in your neighborhood, attends your church, or waits on you at a local business. You never know who you might see on What’s Your Story? Tune in Monday evenings at 7:00 pm on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library’s Facebook page or YouTube channel or watch on the Town of Kennebunkport’s cable channel 1301.

Portside Readers
Who doesn’t like to be read a story? Listen to stories, poems, tales, essays, drama, songs, and more by the Portside Readers, a small group of local actors, writers, book club members, and a musician who love the written word and want to share the joys of reading and listening. Tune in Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library’s Facebook page or YouTube channel, or watch on the Town of Kennebunkport’s cable channel 1301.  Please call the Library for more information on this creative collaboration of friends and neighbors!

Wine On-Line with Maine & Vine and Wine House on Maine
Join us virtually via Zoom once a month (excluding summer) at 5:30 pm for a fun hour of wine tasting, information, and trivia! Local wine gurus Lani Dietz and Betsy Ross will guide us through the program with ideas, pairings, and educational tidbits as we sip wines selected by our two experts. All participants are encouraged to purchase the monthly wine selections from Maine & Vine or Wine House on Maine.
