The Birch Bay Library is a cozy place to curl up to a great book as well as a meaningful meeting place to socialize with neighbors.

Thanks to a generosity of residents, board members, future residents and local foundations, Birch Bay was able to renovate their twenty-one-year-old library in 2023.

Generous support included donations from the Hattie A. & Fred C. Lynam Trust, managed by Bar Harbor Banking and Trust, as well as the Stephen & Tabitha King Foundation. The renovated library was thoughtfully designed with colors of the forest and the ocean, pale blues, and greens, as well as prints from local artists on the walls, and walnuts finishes. Caregiver Support Groups and Acadia Senior College lectures are also hosted in this space.
