Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated Midcoast event of the year! Bands for Books will be held on Labor Day, Sept. 2 at Lakehurst Lodge. The “Salty Dogs” will once again provide music. The group has proven to be the perfect pairing for this party. Their enthusiastic music has never failed to fill the dance floor.  

Lakehurst Lodge is a wonderful facility, and we are pleased to return again this year. Lakehurst Lodge has been owned and operated by the Pinkham family for over four generations. Located off Egypt Road in rural Damariscotta, the lodge has been in operation since the early 1930s. Lakehurst Lodge was originally an attached barn to the Manor House (circa late 1820s) that is currently adjacent to the Lodge on the property. The Lodge was moved to its present site in the 1920s and was operated as a restaurant and dance hall where live bands played during weekend dances for several decades. Lakehurst Lodge is a rustic timber framed barn facility that is the perfect country setting for our event. The Lodge is naturally beautiful.

Our expectations for this event are to raise needed funds for our library, to bring our community together for a wonderful evening and to honor those who worked tirelessly for our community. Please consider joining us for this fun evening.  

Tickets are now available at Wiscasset Public Library (21 High St., Wiscasset) or by calling the treasurer of the Friends of the Wiscasset Library, Lynn Maloney (207-798-2831) or via email at lynnmaloney5@yahoo.com.  We have kept ticket prices at the original cost of $20 each prior to the event and $25 at the door. We hope you will join us for a fun-filled evening,
