Community Matters More

The Maine Library Association is the recipient of an un-restricted donation of $5,000 from Bangor Savings Bank.  Our Conference Committee is committed to using these funds to make the 2019 Conference as special as ever.

In recent years, libraries across the state have been recipients of Bangor Savings Bank's "Community Matters More" grants. This year, the voting will happen 100% online. Therefore, Bangor Savings Bank is encouraging people to visit their local libraries to use the fastest statewide broadband connections and public computers that we provide in order to vote for this award. Perhaps they will even be voting for you!

About Community Matters More

The top two organizations in each geographical region will receive a $5,000 grant, while the remaining organizations will receive $1,000.
