    I went every single week on Saturdays when I was a kid for several years. I only remember having an…read moreerror with checking out a couple times. They have an above-average selection, comfortable areas to read in, beautiful exterior and interior, helpful librarians, storytime for kids and events for the community that are wholesome unlike so many other libraries. I moved to an area with a much smaller library and ran through their crummy selection in 2 years without even trying, and my college library has unfriendly librarians and a censorship problem plus obscene displays, but this library is all good in my book.

    The north branch opened on May 14th, 2011 and I'm already addicted! Addicted to books that is!…read more The library is beautiful architecturally and very state-of-the-art. There is a library self-checkout, drive through book drop off, meeting rooms, coffee/snack machine in the lobby, fun kids section and tons of books, audiobooks, DVDs, music - you name it! The whole book search and check-out process has been significantly streamlined and made very efficient. I usually have books from the other Peoria libraries sent to the north branch, and instead of waiting for the librarian to try to find your book, they now have "holds" in a special alcove section, alphabetized by YOUR last name, so that you can quickly find the book yourself, check-out and start the reading fun. The other cool thing about the north branch is that it has a "bookstore," similar to (but not as extensive) as the Lakeview Museum book court. The used books are EXTREMELY cheap, with a range of 20-80 cents a book. Everything is just so new and shiny! Even the seating area reminds me of a collegiate study library. Very nice indeed!

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! Fairfield was one of the first recipients (if not THE first) of the Carnegie Library fund to build libraries in rural areas. The Carnegie Library is now a museum and located just a few blocks away, which is quite apt.

    I am a lover of libraries, and having recently moved here from Cambridge, Massachusetts, I have…read morebeen so happy to discover the Fairfield Public Library. They seem to be able to find me any book I'm looking for, if not in-house then through interlibrary loans. I am quite busy with my work right now, but I'm so looking forward to participating in some of the writing programs that are held here. I make frequent use of the public Wi-Fi and study rooms. This is a godsend to me. It's a very pleasant and beautiful setting. It's a joy to spend time at the library. I also appreciate that there are so many tables and internet spaces, a copying machine, and a lot of very good books. Someone has been very selective that for a relatively small library (compared to a big city), it has a wonderful selection of books. I also love the books for sale and the book sales. There are many special features and programs for the community as well. The staff is beyond wonderful. It's a great perk to living in Fairfield, just knowing the library is here and I love going here as much as I can. I agree that the library seems like a community meeting space. It's a wonderful place to spend time reading, researching, looking at magazines (a wonderful collection) and books. I feel so lucky to have this library available to me.
