Table of Contents
The new Fairfield Area Library will open during a ceremony Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m.
With 44,803 square feet of space in its two stories, the new library is nearly twice as large as the existing Fairfield Area Library, which opened in 1976. The new library features about 54,000 books and other volumes, 100 public computers, a 96-person meeting room, a classroom, smaller conference and study rooms, a digital media lab, a recording studio, dedicated areas for children and teens, and a drive-up service window. The $29 million project was funded through the 2016 bond referendum.
The Fairfield Area Library is one of two Henrico County Public Library locations that offers Sunday hours. The library is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 6 pm. Friday and Saturday; and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The library is located at 1401 North Laburnum Avenue. The event will include refreshments and tours.
