The Fall River Public Library is a historic library in the heart of downtown Fall River. First established in 1861, the library opened in its current location in 1899 and was renovated in 2001. Still maintaining its 19th-century charm, the library now offers public access to 21st-century technology, along with programs and services for all ages.
