Live in Redfield

Library & American Legion Post 261 Community Center

Two buildings, side by side on Thomas Street. Books & educational services at one, community gatherings and much more at the other.

On the same block

Two of Redfield's most-used buildings sit next to each other on Thomas Street. The Redfield Public Library at 1112, and the Redfield American Legion Post 261 Community Center at 1116. Together they anchor a block that carries a lot of the town's weekly life.

Redfield Public Library

Redfield Public Library's brick exterior and entrance on Thomas Street under a blue sky.

The library is small, but it does not act like it. Programs run through the year for every age: a book club, children's storytime, craft and science afternoons, author visits, and summer reading. New residents can stop in for a library card at the front desk. The online catalog and the library's e-book and audiobook service let you keep reading from home.
