Girl who works at library coughs throughout the day, every day.

I'm a big proponent of public libraries. There's truly something for everyone here. Books on every topic (of course) but also movies/ videos, music cds, audio books, internet access, fishing pole lending, and on and on. If you haven't been to a public library lately, check one out! Update 7/12/2022: still a great community resource.

Excellent venue for those seeking knowledge. The library staff is always helpful. The entire library is organized & clean. The books, movies, etc. are in abundant supply. Thank you for being in Portsmouth.

Questions & Answers

Is there a book club at the library for adults

Yes! We actually have 3 book clubs - one through the Historical Society, our Third Tuesday of the Month Book Club, and our YA Fiction for Adults book club (the last Tuesday of every month)

Can I use the book drop to return books and if not how do you return them?

You can return library books in the book drop. If someone in your household is ill, please hold on the the books until everyone is well. Library items aren't due until July 1st, so there won't be any fines if you choose to wait to return them. Please don't put book donations in the book drop or outside the door. Our Book Nook is not open and we don't have space to store donations.

Does the library supply 2018 tax publications?

We do get Federal tax forms and booklets. They aren't in yet, but we are expecting them. The IRS is one of the agencies affected by the government shutdown so I'm not sure if that will impact when we get the forms in. . We do usually MA forms, but they haven't come in yet either. RI state forms need to be requested directly from them. You can call us at the reference desk if you want to find out if we have them in.
