A public library is a cornerstone of a democratic society because it offers easy access to a wide variety of information. Libraries are also a place for people to come together, feel connected, and engage with others. Aurora’s public library is a lot more than just a place to check out books. We offer a multitude of services to support our growing community. So, whether you are looking for recreation, relaxation, or information, “check us out!”
The City of Aurora Alice M. Farr Public Library supports lifelong learning and enjoyment in an inclusive, welcoming environment that is a primary community destination. The Library provides equal access to quality information services, materials, and resources to all members of our community.
