History:
The Medford Public Library was established in 1855 and has served as a pillar of the Medford community since its founding. The original library moved to the Magoun Mansion at 117 High Street in 1875 and in 1960 a new library was built on the same site. In 2021, construction of the Charlotte & William Bloomberg Medford Public Library was completed. Today, the library receives over 220,000 visits per year and serves patrons from 0-102+ years of age with over 1,400 annual programs. Providing services to a rapidly changing population, the library remains a free, warm, supportive learning environment for all. Join library staff, trustees, foundation, friends, and supporters as we gather to mark this milestone and recognize the enduring legacy of our library in our City.
