The Millay Society recognizes individuals and businesses who support the future of the library with a minimum annual donation of $1,250 or monthly recurring gifts of $105. These donors take up the mission of ensuring a solid base of support for continual improvement of library collections, programs, and the grounds of Harbor Park and the Amphitheatre.

The Millay Society is named in honor of Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950). Millay, raised in Camden, was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. Her life and her poetry are celebrated examples of freedom and individualism. Millay was committed to intellectual pursuits and the liberation of ideas – ideals kept alive at the Camden Public Library.

The Camden Public Library is pleased to include in the Millay Society individuals who provide support as follows:

• Founder ($1,250 – $2,499)
• Partner ($2,500 – $4,999)
• Benefactor ($5,000 – $9,999)
• Poet Laureate ($10,000 – $24,999)
• Library Fellow ($25,000 and above)

Benefits of Millay Society membership include invitations to special events. Members’ consistent contributions also enable the Library’s growth and community responsiveness. Additionally, member support helps ensure the Library’s continued place as a key cultural and intellectual center in Midcoast Maine.
