Cary Memorial Library

Cary Memorial Library is a public library on Massachusetts Avenue with books, digital resources, and research databases for everyone. The building also includes gallery spaces for rotating art exhibitions and hosts educational programs for different ages.

The library was founded in 1869 when a community member made a generous donation to start a public collection. These early beginnings became the foundation for an institution that grew over many decades.

The library shows Lexington's history through displays and collections that give visitors insight into how the town developed over time. Rotating exhibitions make it possible to discover the local past in a direct and understandable way.

The library is easy to access and offers different services for all types of visitors. Whether you are looking for information or want to join activities, there are many opportunities available.

The building houses four rotating gallery spaces with changing art collections, including a 16-foot-long Idea Wall in the living room area. This creative space lets visitors actively take part in art displays instead of just watching from the sidelines.
