In the outskirts of down- town Orono, nestled behind the library, on the second foor of the old community build- ing at 10 Birch Street, sits the Orono Thrift Shop. At the top of the staircase, shoppers are immediately greeted by the shop’s friendly volunteer staff, in addition to an array of col- orful scarves and ties that are purposefully placed on dis- play around the banister of the creaky old stairs. The shop features two large rooms flled to the brim with merchandise. The front room carries various household items, books, vases, a collec- tion of vinyl records, as well as a nook flled with children’s toys.
