Fayetteville Free Library
The Fayetteville Free Library began as a subscription reading room in 1906 when 50 public-minded citizens banded together to share their periodical subscriptions. The original Library, which charged a fifty cent membership fee, was at 114 E. Genesee Street. The Library grew rapidly and soon books, borrowed from the New York State Library, and children's services were added. In 1911, a permanent charter was received from the Board of Regents. The name was changed from "reading room" to "free library" meaning there was no longer any membership fee.
The Library remains true to its mission of providing free and open access and information in a lifelong learning center.
