Rice Public Library, Kittery, Maine -- (History and Genealogy Section)

I was so anxious to get to this library recently because it was the first of the three I wanted to visit in Maine. My husband has roots in this town and we first visited it 15 years ago. On this day, we were too early to get in at 9:10, since they opened at 10, so, we headed north to the Ogunquit library. This is a lovely library, with limited parking and not as much genealogy/history material as I expected.

We later returned to this library and had to sign in to use their collection, then a librarian took us upstairs to the genealogy room. There were two researchers there, don't know if they were together, but they were deep into the books. I was limited in my effort to take good photos, so you can't get a clear view of the small room. It was extremely sunny in many of the rooms and that presented another problem, so that's why I changed my color shots to black and white.


Two photos of the genealogy room. There is a table with some chairs and another bookcase or two on the other side of these photos.
Other rooms in this library are among the most lovely I've ever seen.
