Beautiful historical building, knowledgeable staff, great place to sit and read a book. The only thing I notice is the noise level is pretty high for a library. Is it not the norm any longer to be quiet and speak in hushed tones in a library?

I wonderful place to start on your discovery tour of one Americas most interesting small towns. This is one of the many structures built by Henry H. Rogers as gifts to the town.

lovely art work, shaped like a wee castle, iron open staircase surrounding the stacks. lots of videos...

Our gem of a library is housed in a stunning structure designed by a renowned architect who was a dear friend of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). I spent hours in the cozy Children's Room with my daughter, from her toddler days through elementary school. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable (of course) and extremely helpful. It's one of my favorite places,... More

Wonderful selection of books and music to check out. Amazing architectural gem, located next to another architectural gem, The Unitarian Church.

It feels like home, so comfortable, everyone is friendly, this place has a lot to offer children wwith their own reading room, the museum inside, it is just beautiful

Visit this library in the center of Fairhaven for its architecture and exhibits or just to find a quiet place to catch up on your reading. View the guest book with its interesting signatures including the Emporer of Japan!

See the Mark Twain manuscript and the Japanese room. Best seen as part of the Fairhaven walking tour

This is an amazing library. It's a beautiful building inside & out with many wonderful details. I recommend it to anyone who loves the history of the area & enjoys great architectural detail. They have great story time groups for all ages & do lots of programs for kids over the summer.
