Fall River Public Library

Fall River, MA










 

As Fall River was a very wealthy city back in 1899, they built a beautiful library. There was a renovation in 2001. Many of the best details are still visible to all. The art work and the architectural details are worth a visit. Tours are available from a long time librarian. Being in Fall River, of course they have a collection of Lizzie Borden artifacts. They have a bookmobile that travels throughout the city visiting schools, parks, senior centers… There are many events going on in the library. They have had some controversial issues. A recent of these was when there were transgender adults reading to children. News articles talked about parents being uncomfortable with the situation.
