We have been recognized nationally with the 2014 Panell Award, which recognizes a bookstore which has enriched its community by bringing exceptional creativity to foster a love of reading in and outside the bookstore, and the 2015 Maine School Board Association Business Friend of Education Award DDG regularly partners with UMF, local schools, and non profit organizations to enrich the cultural life of Farmington. We appreciate your business!
