The Fairfield Woods Branch Library, like Fairfield Public Library, did not begin where it is now.
The Fairfield Woods Branch Library was originally located in the former Andrew Warde High School - now the home of Fairfield Warde High School - from 1956 to 1969. Before then, the PTA at nearby Stratfield School in 1936 opened a library in Stratfield School with 1,000 donated children's books, and a small adult collection of books was housed in a firehouse in Stratfield in the early 1950s.
The Fairfield Woods Branch Library, which opened in 1969, has about 75,000 books and is one of the busiest branch libraries in the state. The librarian at Fairfield Woods Branch Library is Nancy Coriaty.
The DiMenna-Nyselius Library at Fairfield University offers a wide range of resources and facilities for students and the public, including books, reference materials and exhibits. The location has many features, including group study rooms, a multimedia room, training rooms, instruction labs and a public computer lab. It also offers photocopy and printing services. There are various vending machines as well as a cafe offering sandwiches, salads and coffee. Check the main website for details on the floor plan or facilities or for details on library policies.
