Abbot Public Library 235 Pleasant Street, Marblehead, MA 01945

Welcome to Abbot Public Library, a vibrant community hub located at 235 Pleasant Street, Marblehead, Massachusetts. Our library is dedicated to serving the diverse needs of our patrons with an extensive collection of resources and services.

Please note that the library elevator is currently out of service. However, we offer a wide range of digital resources for library card holders, including e-books, audiobooks, movies, music, TV shows, Chromebooks, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Our patrons can also enjoy passes and promo codes to select local museums, reserve computers or meeting rooms, and even arrange for homebound delivery.

Our recently renovated space features a redesigned main level with three small meeting rooms. The lower level hosts the Children’s Room, Teen Center, Carten Gallery, Event Center, and a new makerspace. With a focus on community engagement, Abbot Public Library regularly hosts events for all ages, making it a cornerstone of the Marblehead community.

Explore our collections of fiction, mysteries, biographies, and more tailored for kids and teens. We invite you to take a virtual tour of our new library with MHTV, led by Library Director Kim Grad, and learn more about our reopening.

We are excited to announce our grand reopening on July 10th, following the completion of our renovations. We thank everyone who visited our booth at the Pride Flag Raising Ceremony on June 1, and we encourage you to join us for future events.

Please be aware that in preparation for our move back to 235 Pleasant Street, the library will close at 5 pm on April 27, 2024, and remain closed for approximately six weeks. For more information, refer to our FAQ list.
