About Us

For more than 100 years, the Greenfield Public Library has been proudly serving our community. In 1915, Greenfield voted to establish the Greenfield Public Library. Greenfield received a $7,500 grant from the Carnegie Library Corporation for the construction of a library. The Carnegie Library Building served the community from 1916 to 1996. The library has resided in its current facility since then. Learn more about the Carnegie Library history and view historical documents here.

Books, CDs, DVDs, Hot Spots, public computers and public iPads. One library providing materials, computers, programming and information services to residents of Greenfield and the surrounding communities. Our service to you starts with our great staff. Our staff is here to assist you, from advising you on what to read next, to searching online databases. We invite you to get to know your library staff and the great services available.
