The staff of the Lynn Public Library is dedicated to serving the needs of a diverse population whose interests range from scholarly research to cultural pursuits to entertainment. The Library encourages an environment where its patrons may inform, educate, and enlighten themselves. Our collection numbers almost 125,000 volumes, with over 30,000 in the Children’s Department alone. The large Reference collection is known for its emphasis on Lynn history, genealogy, the Civil War, business and law. The Circulation Department keeps current with all the best sellers.

The Lynn Public Library is one of 28 area libraries that make up the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE).

Do you still have a few library items at home that you have been holding onto during the pandemic? We kindly ask that our items are returned to share with other patrons. Items can be returned inside during our business hours or anytime at one of our drop boxes located outside the library. There will be no overdue fines for returned items at this time. All items will be quarantined for at least 2 business days before being checked in. Materials will still appear on your account while they are in quarantine. We are not accepting donations at this time.
