Welcome to Skidompha Public Library!

Skidompha Library is located in the center of Damariscotta, and serves the communities of Damariscotta, Newcastle, and Nobleboro. We hope to see you soon!

In 2025, Skidompha Public Library will celebrate our 120th anniversary! In 1905, the Skidompha Library Association was incorporated and its collection of 1476 books was given to Damariscotta, Newcastle, and Nobleboro as the start of a Free Public Library, and we have been honored to be a part of this community ever since. We are looking forward to sharing this milestone with all of you! If you would like to share your stories and memories of Skidompha, click here!

Skidompha Public Library runs thanks to contributions from our patrons. We appreciate everything you do to help us support our community!
