A gem of a historic building with a beautiful dome and a very historic sofa!
You'll enter through the new part (and that's a normal public library), but head upstairs to the old part! It has the sofa Hannibal Hamlin, vice president to Abe Lincoln, died on. ?
Come in, have a look around!

Always a charming place in downtown. Historical Architecture, and the little Cafe has the BEST ice cream cones. Love this place. It's always so clean in here, and the staff are super helpful and friendly.

This place is nice but looking, but I felt like I had to sit with my back to the wall like any minute homeless people were just going to start fighting each other.. just nothing but drama from other patrons. I just wanted to sit and read... I'm never going to come back here.

Bangor Public Library is the jewel in the crown of downtown Bangor. Such a stately, historic building that has been adapted to meet the many needs the library fills. Thank you to all the staff and supporters of this amazing institution..

The Bangor Public Library is a perfect example of how a savage land populated by rough men and rougher women desiring to improve their lives and their community can establish an icon of the civilized world despite the inhospitable nature of the environs. To say that the BPL is multi-faceted would be a gargantuan understatement. Here you may find people from all parts of society-from the unfortunate who slept on a park bench the night before trying to get warm to a member of the city council researching (or perhaps hoping to cover up) a controversial family history. BPL accommodates these people and welcomes the patron who might need Internet access or is an old fashioned reader of the pages. Starting with a "few books in a footlocker" and becoming a multi-story fantastic building filled with historicity, art exhibits, day care and monthly gatherings of assorted venues BPL can easily be noticed not only as a local gem but part of the heartbeat of Bangor.

Wow! The Bangor Public Library is absolutely beautiful! There was such a wide selection, places to print, and space to just hang out. There were so many nice spaces to sit, tables to sprawl out on, and a little cafe even! I couldn’t believe there were instruments, magazines, art supplies, games, and more available for check out. It was super easy to open a library card, all I needed was my license.

Amazing staff, always helpful and friendly! The team at this library clearly cares about their staff and the patrons. I love the way they are able to engage with the community, hosting events and programs that draw us in. I've been going to this library for 30+ years and I always discover something new. Excellent place to spend a day.
