Returning Borrowed Items

Most borrowed items may be returned to either Fall River Library branch or any SAILS library. The Main Library has an outdoor book drop, which is open at all hours for returning items. During the pandemic, we are asking people to return items in the book drop so that they can be quarantined before being returned to circulation.
Museum Passes, Commonwealth Catalog, and Interlibrary Loan items borrowed through the Fall River Public Library must be returned here in Fall River.


Computer and Wi-Fi

The library offers open Wi-Fi access inside and outside the building and public computers available from opening until one half-hour before closing. A library card or guest pass is required to reserve internet computers. The library supports free public access to the web.
