Scarborough Crossroads

Scarborough Crossroads is a meeting place for local volunteer groups interested in contributing to the town.

Scarborough Crossroads welcomes new members, both individuals and local non-profit and not for profit organizations. We offer Web hosting and a number of other member services, including our Members Only page where one can find training information.

For over one hundred years the library has served as the common ground and heart of the community. A new library building, located in the central Oak Hill area, opened in 1990 after a successful community-wide fundraising drive.

The library collection of print and audiovisual materials exceeds 62,821 titles and 77,685 items. Over 174,102 items circulated in FY2002-03. The library has 7,913 registered users and an average 2000 visitors a week pass through the library doors to use various library resources and services. 8,974 users took advantage of library public access computers to search the Internet. A staff of 19 delivers quality library and information services.

Scarborough is conveniently located in southern Maine, approximately 7 miles south of the City of Portland.  It is just a short drive to Portland and the Maine Mall with easy access to the Maine Turnpike, Portland Jetport and now passenger rail service to Boston and points south.  Scarborough is a diverse community with a commitment to the quality of life and the environment.
