Fairfield Public Library - Fairfield Woods Branch

In the 1930's, townspeople began to express a desire for library services in the Stratfield area. In 1936, the Stratfield School PTA opened a library in the school with a collection of one thousand donated children's books. In the early 1950's, the adult collection was housed in the Stratfield Firehouse, and residents used a small room there to pick up their reading materials. In 1956, the Fairfield Public Library opened a branch at one end of the Andrew Warde High School library. This arrangement continued for twelve years until the opening of Fairfield Woods Branch Library in 1969.
