Please be advised that the elevator at the Newburyport Public Library will be undergoing non-emergency necessary repairs starting Monday March,10 2025 and will be unavailable for the duration of the work.  We understand that this will limit accessibility for residents with mobility issues to reach the Archives, second, and third floors. and we are committed to ensuring continued access to library services.

During this period, the Newburyport Public Library will remain open ans provide our regular services.  For those with mobility issues, the NPL will provide the following temporary accommodations:

1.      Library Staff Assistance: For residents who require assistance accessing library services, staff will be available at the main entrance to help guide and provide support including:

a.      Archival and Reference research

b.      Printing and faxing services

c.      and Book retrieval from the 2nd and 3rd floor

2.      Digital Library Access: We encourage all residents to utilize the library’s online resources, including e-books, audiobooks, and digital materials, which remain fully accessible during this time.

3.      Alternative Accessible Locations: Neighboring libraries in Salisbury, Rowley, Newbury, Ipswich, West Newbury, and Amesbury are alternative accessible locations for residents to receive library services.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. This work is needed to ensure that Newburyport Public Library continues to be accessible to all residents.  If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Library staff by calling 978-465-4428 or visit the Library website at newburyportpl.org.
