Established in 1954, the library is committed to providing our community with access to intellectual, educational, cultural and recreational information. The library serves the communities of Palmyra
and North and South Londonderry. The library has been located
on South Railroad Street in Palmyra since 1970, but some recent
renovations have brought the library into the twenty-first
century. Additions of new technology, including high-speed
Internet access, have helped to enhance the services offered,
and aesthetic changes have helped to make the library warm
and welcoming. Please stop by and check out our ever-growing
collection of materials.
