HADLEY BRANCH LIBRARY
Hadley Branch Library opened its doors in
June 1964, the first branch library constructed with taxpayer dollars.
It was named for Chalmers Hadley, the city librarian who founded the branch
library system in the early 1900s.
By 1990, Hadley's cramped quarters could no longer serve its growing base of
customers, In August of that year, voters approved a $91.6 million bond issue
to fund a new Central Library building and $19.7 million worth of improvements
to branch libraries. Dramatic renovation to Hadley Branch Library was
completed and the library reopened in June, 1993.
Over the years, the library has been loved for its friendly staff, services to
neighbors of all ages and a fine collection. The library offers not only books
in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese but has many other types of materials.
Hadley Branch Library has an extensive collection of videos in 3 languages,
numerous books-on-tape, music compact discs for children, CD-ROM games, and
magazines for people of all ages!
