This small library also seems to function as sort of a public community meeting space for Fairfield. It's located right off Main Street, and has plenty of parking, plenty of tables, free wifi, and lots of books.
There's plenty of natural lighting in this place, as it's covered with windows. It makes for a relaxing place to get out a book and read for a spell.
My favorite thing was the geneaological area that they're keeping. They have old obituaries, family trees, and newspaper articles about old family names, maps of old plats of land, and all sorts of stuff to look up historical facts. Kudos to whoever is keeping up those files.
The library also offers a kids section, where they can even sort of play and read by the window without disturbing the patrons. It's not the quietest of libraries, but it offers so many features that are great benefits to the community. The library offers all kinds of public classes, speeches, clubs and meetings here. This is a great place!
