Pollard Memorial Library, Public library in Lowell, Massachusetts, US.

Pollard Memorial Library is a public library in Lowell, Massachusetts, serving the local community with a substantial collection of materials. It provides access to electronic resources, databases, ebooks, and audiobooks for its patrons through membership in a regional library network.

The library was founded in 1845 and relocated in 1893 to Memorial Hall, a building created to honor Civil War soldiers from the area. A fire in 1915 damaged the upper floor, but restoration work preserved the building for continued use.

A corner of the library is dedicated to Jack Kerouac, who as a teenager often skipped classes to read here. The library named the Kerouac Corner in his honor in February 2015. Visitors can see this spot on the library floor.

The library sits at 401 Merrimack Street, next to Lowell City Hall, whose cornerstone was laid the same day in 1890. The main entrance opens onto Merrimack Street, and the building is a stop on the Lowell National Historical Park trolley route. The reference room and Memorial Hall are on separate floors, so plan which collection you need before climbing the stairs.

The second-floor Memorial Hall holds three Civil War paintings by French artist Paul Philippoteaux: Battle of Shiloh, Lee's Surrender at Appomattox and Siege of Fort Donelson. They were installed when architects Stickney and Graves rebuilt the floor after the 1915 fire, which destroyed $67,627.20 worth of material, artifacts and relics.
