The Rye Public Library is a community hub dedicated to fostering lifelong learning, discovery, and creativity. It provides unrestricted access to a wide array of materials, programs, and technologies designed to inform, educate, and entertain. The library's mission is to be a friendly and inviting place, serving as the cultural heart of Rye by facilitating the free flow of ideas and information for all residents. They offer diverse services including digital media borrowing (movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks), online learning resources, job and career assistance, and access to databases for genealogy research. The library also hosts a vibrant calendar of events, from children's storytimes to adult workshops, and features special collections like historical archives in the New Hampshire Room. Recently reopened after radon remediation, the library also offers unique items like portable radon detectors for checkout, further enhancing its role as a valuable community resource.
