Upcoming Holiday Weekend

Fairfield Public and Fairfield Woods Branch Libraries will close at 5:00 pm on Thursday, July 3rd. We will be closed Friday through Sunday, July 4 through July 6. Happy Independence Day!
Our new system is here!
 
We appreciate your patience as we work through the new software system for the library. The app has also been updated, so check your app store. You'll need to add back in your library card account numbers after the update, so write them down first or take a screenshot before you update.
 
We are still working through some connection problems for external databases, so some resources like Consumer Reports, Reference Solutions, and Value Line can be accessed only from the library. We hope to have our study room booking issues corrected by next week; in the meantime, please call us if you would like to book a study room. 
 
There will be no text message notifications from the library until fall 2025. Visit fplct.aspendiscovery.org to check on your email notification preferences, turn on reading history, connect all your family library accounts, and more!
