Lynn Public Library

About

The Lynn Public Library serves a diverse community with interests ranging from scholarly research to culture and entertainment. Its collection numbers almost 125,000 volumes, including more than 30,000 in the Children’s Department. The large reference collection is known for its depth in Lynn history, genealogy, the Civil War, business and law, while the circulation department keeps up with current best sellers. Programs run from children’s activities to adult education classes.

The library’s digital offerings are broad. Adult cardholders can stream movies, shows and documentaries through Kanopy, and patrons can read manga and graphic novels through Comics Plus or borrow e-books and audiobooks with the Libby app. New users can sign up for an eCard online without visiting, and the account can later be upgraded to a full card at any member library. The library also offers services and resources to support patrons with disabilities.
