Press Herald - The Brunswick Town Council has OK’d a “menu” of suggested plans for a large swath of town property in East Brunswick, setting the stage for future recreation projects like trails, parking lots, a playground and a swimming area. Councilors unanimously approved the plans Monday night for the 230-acre area, which consists of two adjacent parcels: the Captain William A. Fitzgerald Conservation and Recreation Area, and the former Maine Gravel Services property.
Press Herald - Brunswick-based outdoor gear lending nonprofit Maine GearShare and the Curtis Memorial Library have partnered to offer free equipment for library card holders. The program, which launched on June 1, works like reserving a museum pass from the library, said CML adult services librarian Hazel Onsrud.
Members can reserve a gear pass on the library website for the week they want to borrow gear and pick up their pass at the library. Then, they can either use the code on the pass to reserve gear on the Maine GearShare website or stop by GearShare and grab available gear during the reservation time.
