Resources for Our Community

We’ve compiled lists of resources for our community that are fun and educational for adults, teens, and children including crafts, tours, concerts, and more! We will continue to update our lists as we find more resources available.

We’re also planning virtual events! Check the calendar for all the details!

Some of these resources require a St. Mary’s County Library card. If you don’t already have a library card, sign up for a temporary card online and start using our online resources instantly. Be sure to write down your temporary library card number when it appears on the screen!

If you have questions about your Library account or how to use any of the Library resources on these pages, please contact us!
