BIDDEFORD — The McArthur Library building in Biddeford remains closed to the public until at least the end of April. But that doesn’t mean the library’s services have ended.
Library staff are working remotely to produce a wide range of online and live programs for all ages. They are readily available through a variety of channels (phone, email, and social media messaging) to assist with any inquiries about e-resources, programming or any library service. Staff are actively replying to voicemails and messages. In addition, while the building is closed all items on loan have had due dates extended, and fines will not be charged. Patrons should retain these materials at home until the library re-opens.
You can view the library’s newsletter online at https://www.mcarthurlibrary.org/mca-online-programs.html.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
