Topsfield LIbrary

The Topsfield Town Library

The Topsfield Town Library, at One South Common Street, is a center for many cultural activities in town. The library has over 50,000 volumes which, per resident, is the highest in the Commonwealth. Due to the efforts of the Friends of the Library and a generous trust fund left to the library by a former summer resident of Topsfield, George Lambert Gould, the Library displays both permanent and visiting art collections, hosts concerts, lectures and film festivals, and has active children and teen programs.


The Library has a community meeting room which is a multi-purpose room that accommodates a wide variety of meetings, lectures, audio-visual presentations and exhibits.


The Library is a member of the Merrimac Library Valley Consortium which enables it to extend residential borrowing opportunities to encompass collections through the state and nationally.


Online access to the Library's catalog and to other information about the library is available through the Library's website. The Library may also be reached by:
