Lawrence Public Library

Lawrence Public Library is a public library in Lawrence, Kansas housed in a modern two-story building on Vermont Street. The collection includes books, digital resources, and educational materials to serve various needs.

The library was established and grew into a central educational institution in Lawrence supported by public funds and the Friends & Foundation organization. This backing proved essential for its development into the resource center it is today.

The library serves as a gathering place for the community and hosts events like book clubs and reading programs for different ages. You will find collections in both Spanish and English, reflecting the diversity of the city.

The library is open different days throughout the week, with extended hours until 8 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on weekends. Check the hours before visiting if you plan to go at an unusual time.

A special feature is the mobile library unit called Dottie that travels regularly throughout Lawrence, bringing materials directly to neighborhoods and community centers. This service reaches areas that might otherwise have limited library access.
