Millicent Library

Best public library by supporting population I've visited. Old great architecture and incredibly well curated selection for their space.

We visit the library almost every week! My boys love to read in the library and we borrow CDs too for the whole family to watch during weekends with popcorn or cookies and milk. The ladies working there are very nice and approachable. Literally helps you with every way they can and they're very sweet too. We love visiting the library of all places. Very beautiful old building with an amazing architecture. The walls the windows and the cabinets are really pretty and it feels good to visit such places all the time and admire it at the same time.

I sure miss Carolyn as the Director of the Library. She responded to my emails promptly.

I live a city away from Millicent, and actually have a library not even two minutes up the street from my house. But I will absolutely go out of my way to visit Millicent. The librarians are amazing. And super helpful and so kind. The variety of books,movie, CD's are impressive. Not to mention the library itself is just absolutely gorgeous. It's all together a very impressive library. I love spending time in their. I definitely recommend it to people even if they don't really have any interest in borrowing a book, or partaking in any of the many items and events Millicent has to offer. Just stop in and sneak a peek. It's a gorgeous historic building and it's a really cool spot to check out if you're taking in Downtown Fairhaven and it's history. You can learn to appreciate Millicent for more than just it being an amazing library. You won't be let down, I promise!!!

I used to go to the beautiful Millicent library every week back in the 1970’s when I lived close by in New Bedford. One day while sitting at one of the thick, ancient oak tables reading I noticed another oak table smoldering in a spot caused by the sun’s rays focused strongly through the window and heating a spot on the table. It started to smoke badly and I told a librarian before a fire started. So many years later I still remember this and have never had any other “spontaneous combustion” moments again in my life.

The Millicent Library is absolutely beautiful and stocked with almost anything you could be looking for. The inside and outside of the library are gorgeous and the staff is always nice and willing to help. Not only do they have a great selection of books, they also have audio books and tons of DVDs too!

Nice kids area had a cute barn with some animals, puzzels, little table n chairs, clean and nice books but it not separated at all from the study area n rest of library n my girl is only 22months so when she started to cry it really disrupts everyone so we left. The librarian was very sweet gave her a sticker.
