The newly renovated Fowler Library opened for business on March 26, 2011.
The Concord Free Public Library consists of two libraries that are situated on the two ends of Main Street in Concord, MA - Main Library (129 Main Street) and Fowler Library (1322 Main Street). Both Main and Fowler buildings are cherished local landmarks that serve as the social, cultural and educational center of the community.
The Main Library renovation project was completed in 2005 with over 85% of the funds donated by individuals and families in Concord.
 We are now seeking your financial support in helping us bring the Fowler Library to the 21st century to meet Concord community's needs. (Photo, left: A corner of the current Fowler lower level.)
