Our mission is to strengthen our community by enhancing and contributing to individual knowledge and experiences, literacy development and lifelong learning through print, electronic resources, cultural activities, programs and services.
Having grown up in Houlton I didn’t really appreciate how special the schools were until I was living in the city and raising my own family. Once I had 3 children of my own I moved back from Boston to give my kids the same experience I had. A commitment to education in a community that values the individual talents of each learner. I only wish we had moved here sooner.
