This modern, 6,046-square-foot facility will be flexible, fully accessible, and sustainably designed to meet the evolving needs of our community.

Site clearing officially began at the future home of Stamford Library at 139 West Main Street, carried out by Boyle Excavating Inc. Following the completion of this work, the site will be secured with fencing and remain enclosed until full construction of the new library begins.
Community Survey
For generations, the Churchill Building has housed the library, serving Stamford and surrounding communities. However, the building is owned by the village of Stamford and the time has come to build a new home which will allow us to meet growing needs with a vibrant, sustainable, and community-centered library. We want to know what you love about the library, what you value, and what we can improve. Whether you grew up here or have just arrived, our shared efforts will keep the community strong for generations to come – and give us something to be proud of!
