About

There has been a library in the town of Hampton Falls since 1780.  In 1901, John T. Brown purchased the Christian Baptist Meeting House, furnished the building as a library and presented it to the town on August 25, 1901.  In 2000, the overwhelming majority of voters at the town meeting voted to appropriate funds for a new library.  On July 14, 2001, more than one hundred volunteers moved 13,000 items from the old library to the new library, and the new Hampton Falls Free Library was dedicated on August 25, 2001, marking the centennial of the first library’s dedication.
