About the Library
Established in 1900, the Bethlehem Library is located in the heart of town at 32 Main Street South. The present home, a classic brick structure, was dedicated in June 1969. More than 23,000 items are in the collection. Borrowers have access to interlibrary loans, computers and wireless internet, fax and copier service, discounted museum passes and a number of library programs designed to interest different ages.
Much needed improvements to the library were funded by combined contributions from the Friends of the Library, the Leever Foundation, Thomaston Savings Bank, and individuals. Library Services
