Library supporters visit Ogunquit

The Friends of Walker Memorial Library group went on its annual summer outing this year to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

“Five of us had a beautiful day at the museum, and then lunch at Bintliff’s in Ogunquit, which was delicious, by the way,” Kelly Day, the group’s vice president said.

Day said the group goes somewhere different every year, and members are looking for suggestions for next year’s outing.

The group’s next meeting is this month on Thursday, Aug. 28, from 5:30-6:30 p.m., in Walker Memorial Library.

For more information, call the library at 854-0630.
