Comment on Facebook

The Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library, which opened in 1966, serves as the public library for Bristol Borough and the surrounding community. It recently underwent a comprehensive interior makeover, and was rededicated on June 5, 2005. The Library's energetic staff serves a patron base of over 20,000 members. It maintains a collection of 86,000+ items and affords "lovers of learning" the best in print and electronic mediums. The Library offers picturesque views of the Delaware River, is open six days a week, and in serving as a Borough gathering place offers programs for babies, preschoolers, children, teens, adults, and seniors.
