Bagaduce Music Lending Library in Blue Hill, Hancock County, United States | Library

Welcome to The Bagaduce Music Lending Library, Blue Hill, Maine, United States. Our mission is to collect, preserve and lend printed sheet music and scores, and to provide music education programs.
The Bagaduce Music Lending Library is celebrating its 25th birthday in 2008! It was established in 1983 with its first home in the garage of its founders on the coast of Maine, where the Bagaduce River meets Penobscot Bay. Soon outgrowing our original space, the library was moved to its present home in Blue Hill, Maine.
We have grown to become an international resource center for printed sheet music and scores, housing numerous collections of music representing all genres of written music except marching band music. We remain a non-profit organization funded through memberships, small lending fees, and private fundraising. The heart of the our existence is our intrepid crew of volunteers.
The collection of scores and sheet music housed by the Bagaduce Music Lending Library is extensive. Our collection spans the spectrum of styles and periods from string quartets, choral music and piano for two and four hands to madrigals and motets, opera, and contemporary popular music. All are available for borrowing.
Our collection of music by Maine composers or about Maine is unsurpassed.
The collection continues to grow. We purchase music and receive frequent donations from individuals and organizations from all over the world.
