Chelmsford Public Library

We will be CLOSED on the Fourth of July, of course, but keep in mind that the main library will also close EARLY at 5pm on Wednesday, July 3, due to the downtown road closures around the Country Fair and Thursday's parade. The MacKay branch in North Chelmsford will be open its regular Wednesday hours, from 3-6pm!

We have just restocked the Pop Up Library with a pile of great new books, especially large print titles, and including THIS! Kristin Hannah’s The Women is the most sought after book so far this year, with hundreds of people on the wait list even five months after it was published! We will have this copy available today at the Senior Center from 11 am until noon for the first patron who wants it!

Full house at Navigation Brewery for Trivia Night with the Library! Thanks to all who came out and a special thank you to the Navigation Brewing Co. staff for hosting us in a great atmosphere 🍻

It’s a little warm? But nowhere near as humid as last week! Come get a book at Chelmsford Village until 4:30!

A reminder that we're open 9:30 am to 8:30 pm, Monday through Thursday, and 9:30 am to 5:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. Our air conditioning is working fine! Read a book, newspaper, or magazine, play a game, work on a jigsaw puzzle, use a computer, or just sit and relax!

Due to the extreme heat in the forecast this week, we will be canceling our afternoon Pop-Up Library stops on Tuesday and Thursday when temperatures are expected to be well above 90 degrees! We will still be visiting the Chelmsford Swim and Tennis Club this morning!
