c Library is dedicated to being an integral part of the community where people of all ages can meet in a friendly, accessible, and comfortable environment. The Blackstone Free Public Library opened its doors on July 20, 1889, with a transfer of books from the former Blackstone Athenaeum and Library Association. For many years, library stations were maintained in Millville and Blackstone. Shelf space was rented in private homes with paid district carriers transporting books to these locations. In the mid 1930s, the library moved to the Town Hall on St. Paul Street. By 1978, the library occupied 1,374 square feet of the lower level. The need for a larger library became apparent as the town grew. A Planning and Design Grant was submitted to the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners in 1999, followed by a Library Construction Grant in 2001. Both grants were awarded with the balance of funds approved by the voters of the Town of Blackstone. The Grand Opening Ceremony took place on June 13, 2004.

Blackstone Public Library will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2026 in observance of Labor Day.
Flyer is text overlaying a photograph of a steam train on a winding stone bridge. The colors of the photograph are cool greys with undertones of green. The train is pictured coming around a
winding bend in the bridge, displayed across the bottom of the photo, with an impressive plume of steam escaping into the air above and mingling with the grey sky behind the text of the flyer.

signed into law legislation creating a national Labor Day holiday in early September; meanwhile, troops in Chicago brutally worked to stop a labor strike by railroad and Pullman sleeping car
company workers.
