Point of Interest:

Across Joy road from the Library is Mount Desert Elementary School. Since 1951 the Library has served both as public library and as the school Library for Mount Desert Elementary. This perhaps unique relationship is a testament to the library's long history of service to the community,and it brings together community members of all ages on a daily basis. The current library building is of new construction, having opened in 2007, on the same site as its 1951 predecessor. Visitors will be treated to artifacts and architectural details that have come forward down the decades from the original Northeast Harbor Library building that opened in 1892.
