The Fall River Public Library is a historic library in the heart of downtown Fall River. First established in 1861, the library opened in its current location in 1899 and was renovated in 2001. Still maintaining its 19th-century charm, the library now offers public access to 21st-century technology, along with programs and services for all ages.

Join children's librarian David Mello at the Lafayette-Durfee House on Thursday, October 15 for an evening of spooky stories in this fully restored colonial home!
Families will learn of the strange creature that roams the woods of New England called "The Tailypo," discover the ghostly secret kept by "The Lady in Grey," and chuckle at the surprise ending of "The Red, Red Lips!" These tales are a great way to celebrate the season, especially when shared in this home built in 1755!
An easy-to-make craft and raffle will follow the storytime. For ages 5 and up!

Visit us on Thursday, October 22 to see the library as you have never witnessed it before... possessed by the ghouls, ghosts and spectres of the Halloween season!
From 6 to 7:30 PM, you can walk through the chilly, hallowed halls to come face to face with beings only dreamed of in your darkest nightmares!
Recommended for ages 6 through adult. All visitors of the Haunted Library should enter through the North Main Street entrance. For handicap accessibility, please use our Elm Street entrance. Children who wish to avoid the walk-through may also enter on Elm Street to create a special Halloween craft in the Meeting Room!
PLEASE NOTE: The building will be closed from 3 PM-6 PM on October 22 in preparation for the event.
Take a journey through the haunted library… if you dare!
