Call Directions Contact the organization

Rumford Public Library The Rumford Public Library was established in 1903 with a grant from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and designed by John Calvin Stevens. (364-3661)

Today, the library is a resource for both information and entertainment. Library cards are free of charge to individuals/taxpayers from Rumford, Hanover, Byron and Roxbury. Please bring proof of residence when you come to apply for a card along with a photo ID. Only valid cardholders may borrow library materials. Consult the circulation desk for current fees for nonresidents. If you are a Dixfield resident holding a Ludden library card in good standing, you may use your card at the Rumford Public Library, as well. All RPL items are loaned for two weeks. Please honor our due dates. You can renew items online, by calling in or in person. Renewals, requests and reserves may be placed online, by phone or at the circulation desk. Please call during business hours and speak to a staff member for the assistance. If an item has a hold on it for another patron, we may not be able to renew the item. RPL does not collect late fines, however, patrons will be financially responsible for items that are not returned or are returned damaged. Please have your card with you when you visit the library or call. You can place requests when online through the Minerva catalog or through the MaineCat catalog. We are part of the van delivery service, which facilitates getting items from library to library. If you need assistance with a book’s title or author or any part of the online process please feel free to stop by or call the library.
