Stoneham Public Library

Stoneham Public Library is a library building featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with Roman brick walls and a distinctive roofline. The structure includes a decorative square archway entrance and was expanded during the 20th century.

The library began with a 1903 gift from Andrew Carnegie and opened to the public in 1904. A significant expansion of the structure took place during the 1930s.

The library has long served as a hub for learning in Stoneham, providing resources and programs that connect residents with knowledge and each other. Its collections reflect the community's changing needs and interests over time.

The library sits on Main Street in central Stoneham and is easy to locate and reach. Visitors can find information about its collections, digital resources, and member benefits once inside.

A distinctive cupola crowns the roof as a result of a 1931 expansion to the building. This addition was made possible through a bequest from Annie Hamilton Brown, who wished to benefit her community.
