19 Meadow Street, Florence, MA 01062     Mary Ann Tourjee, Director      413-587-1500

Welcome to Lilly Library. For over one hundred years, our independent public library has been a distinctive Florence landmark and community resource.  In 2005/2006,  we completed a $2,500,000 renovation and expansion project, and we proudly re-opened our doors in September 2006.  Click here to see pictures of our Grand Re-opening Celebration. 

 
New Library Hours - Effective July 1, 2009
Due to the financial crisis that we are facing statewide and locally, budgets for FY2010 are being reduced. Based on the current budget projections for the Lilly Library, our hours of service will be reduced. We are saddened to have to reduce our hours at a time when we are seeing dramatic increases in library use.
