Defining a library used to be easy. It was the place to go to borrow a book. While it is still that, today it is so much more! A part of the SHARE consortium, the Dwight Foster Public Library offers ready and easy access to over 2.5 million items within a five county area. Books, magazines, DVDs, sound recordings, downloadable media, or online access...we have it all...so you can too.

Where is the library going? During the library's expansion and renovation construction we will be relocating to the former Digi-Star building at 790 W. Rockwell Avenue. We anticipate that we will move in early March. Not sure where the new location is? Here is a map.
No Storytime in March There will be no storytime at the library in March due to the library's move to temporary quarters to accomodate our building project. Storytime will resume in June.
