The Nahant Public Library

The Nahant Public Library was founded in 1819, the third oldest in Massachusetts after Franklin and Harvard. Our library became a free public library in 1872. The present library building was designed by the Boston firm of Ball and Dabney, and opened June 1, 1895, and was the first electrified building in Nahant. Interlibrary Loan The Nahant Public Library is a member of the Northeast Regional Library System, which includes more than 65 other libraries from whom we may borrow books and copies of magazine articles.
