Then and Now

FAYETTEVILLE FREE LIBRARY

The library at 111 E. Genesee Street –

our home from 1922 – 2003.


• The search for a new home in which the library could grow and provide new services to its patrons ended at the former Stickley factory.

• Plans and dreams came to life with the help of architects and staff
