Due to a scheduling conflict, please note that the date has been changed from April 27th to April 26th. Thank you!
The Readblog is back up and running!
Tune in to the Library's Youtube channel every week on Saturday for a small snippet of a new book read by Richard Coombs. Get a sample of a book you might just be interested in!
Fiction and nonfiction for young and old will be covered. You can view it all over here.

Don't See What You Want in the Library?
Here's How to Get It!
Inter-library Loan
In most cases, we can request a book from another library and have it within a few days. Just ask at the circulation desk.
Request for Purchase
We love getting requests and recommendations! If we think a book, DVD, magazine, newspaper, game, or database should be in the ALPL collection, we’ll buy it and let you know when it is available for check-out. You can make requests by clicking here.
Cloud Library
Hundreds of e-books and audio books are available on Cloud Library through our website. Just go to alplibrary.org, click on “On-line Resources,” and scroll down to Cloud Library. Once you enter your library card number and download the appropriate app, you can access fiction, non-fiction, best sellers, classics, young adult, and childrens’ books and enjoy these resources on your personal media devices.
Donations Welcomed
Consider making a direct donation to the Friends of the Library by sending a check made out to Friends of the Alice L. Pendleton Library to P.O. Box 87, Islesboro, ME 04848. Thank you!
