The theme for National Library Week 2025 is Drawn to the Library. What's the draw? Everything!
Quincy Public Library offers something for everyone in the community, from 1 month to 1080 months and everything in between. Of course, we have the books on the shelves that are just waiting for you to take them home. In addition to books, we have magazines, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, graphic novels, and video games. Beyond our physical collections, we offer a huge collection of virtual resources for both education and relaxation.
When not serving up delightful reads for you, we deliver a huge array of programs for every age group. Picture it, a day at the library: start with Toddler Time, send the tweens to Minecraft Club, drop the teens off at Teen Takeover, then the adults learn how to make their own sourdough starter. BOOM, day made. Take a look at our calendar to plan your visit!
Or join one of our book clubs. Or volunteer with the Friends of the Library. Or do a puzzle with friends. Or...you get the picture. Whatever your interest, find yourself drawn to the library today!
