This is the public's library. Our mission is to enrich the educational, recreational, and cultural life of our community through materials, information, and programs that foster a lifelong love of learning.

Eleanor Murphy Public Library is temporarily closed for repairs due to damages caused by flooding. Please use either the Bailey Cove or Main libraries for services. We apologize for your inconvenience. A firm re-opening date has not been established. Thank you.
