Too many branches
Portland, Maine has a population of only 63,000.
He (Executive Director Steve Podgajny) noted that, with six locations (until July 1) in a city of 63,000, Portland is overbranched compared to every regional peer and will retain a high ratio of locations.

The towns around Portland that would be considered part of the Portland metro area also have their own libraries. Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, and Westbrook all have libraries.
