    • How Can You Help? Advocate!

      There are many ways you can help us! One of the best ways you can support the library is by word of mouth. If you have a new neighbor, tell them all about your library. Let town selectmen know how much you appreciate what Topsham Public Library offers and come to town meeting to support our budget. Our patrons are the reason we exist and our strongest advocates. You can give in many ways. Contact Katherine to discuss donating or volunteering.
