Monson Free Library

About Me

I’m a library, with clock tower and resident wraith. I've been standing around for one-hundred and twenty five years, and though I lack mobility, there is an advantage to having thousands of books in your gut: like remarkable people paying me visits, and animated librarians keeping me kissable.

On another note, our collection grows "exponentially" with new books, music CDs, DVDs, magazines, videos, and all other time travel devices. I’m also on a regional exchange with over 120 libraries, so if you can't find what you need, chances are we can.

I’m an internet junky. So if you need research material for school, projects, papers, hybrid mutant experiments, and creative endeavors, THIS PLACE holds a wealth of information without leaving the comfort of home.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



An online database covering a wide range of subjects, such as literature, science, and careers.

Reads, Rants and random thoughts from your Monson librarian. "An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them."
