Library Newsletter - April 2024

The Library will be CLOSED on Patriots Day, Monday, April 15

Warmer weather means that our mobile library is back on the road and making stops around town throughout the week!

Also, would you or someone you know benefit from a home delivery service of materials from the Chelmsford Library? If so, please fill out this quick form with your contact information to let us know of your interest. We don't have a guarantee of service at this time, but we hope to be able to improve our system to be able to serve you in the near future.
