This is the public's library. Our mission is to enrich the educational, recreational, and cultural life of our community through materials, information, and programs that foster a lifelong love of learning.

Eleanor Murphy Public Library is temporarily closed for repairs due to damages caused by flooding. Please use either the Bailey Cove or Main libraries for services. We apologize for your inconvenience. A firm re-opening date has not been established. Thank you.

Summer Reading Sponsors

It takes a lot of time, resources, and effort to create a successful Summer Reading program. We are so grateful to our community sponsors who give year after year to help our library provide programs like Summer Reading. Please take a moment to visit their websites and their businesses. They care about the community, and they give back. We wouldn’t be here without them!
