New American Monument Display
The Thomaston Public Library now has on display eight of America’s greatest monuments!
Thanks to a very thoughtful donation, the library will now have a permanent display of some of Americas most recognizable land marks. These include the Lincoln, Jefferson and Iwo Jima memorials, the U.S. Capital, White House and Supreme Court buildings, the Statue of liberty and the World Trade Centers. All are finely crafted Danbury Mint Collectables. They will be on permanent display in the Libraries main room at the Thomaston Academy Building. Please stop in and view these new treasures during library hours. The Thomaston Public Library is located at 60 Main Street, Thomaston, Maine. Parking is in the back.

Model Robots Exhibit
The Library welcomes you all to come and view our newest art display. During the month of October, Jared Paradee will be exhibiting a display of model robots entitled WUNDER KOPY: Principles of Mass Production . Constructed of cardboard, the 24 figures strike a unique and whimsical sight. Paradee is currently working out of Bath as an intern where he will be teaching children the power of creative process. The robot Army will be on display in the main library room for the month of October. Please stop in and view them during library hours.
