Seabrook Library

Lending, reference and a reading room. The Historical Society is upstairs.

Seabrook Library is the town’s public library and is maintained by Seabrook Town Council. It has a lending library, a reference section and a reading room.

The reading room has a long table, good light and the day’s newspapers. Readers are asked not to complete the crossword.

Books are lent for three weeks and may be renewed at the desk. Fines are small and are collected.

The Seabrook Historical Society has the room above, reached by the stairs beside the issue desk. Back issues of the Seabrook Chronicle are not held at the library. They are kept at the Chronicle’s office and in the reference section at Seabrook Secondary.
