About Our Library
The Vassalboro Public Library has, as well as its fine selection of books (including a large print selection); internet access(including wireless) through its three IBM compatible computers, a selection of audio and video cassettes, a Maine section of books (which has a lot of fascinating information about the state we live in). 
If you are a student looking for a quiet place to type up a paper, we can provide that as well, as all three of the computers at the library have word processing capability and printers.
