Fairfax Community Library
Welcome
The Fairfax Community Library is located at Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax, Vermont. Our physical and mailing address is 75 Hunt St. All Fairfax residents may sign up for a free library card. Non-residents are welcome to use the library and may get a card for a $15/yr. fee. Or, if your home town library is a member of the Homecard System, and your account is in good standing, we will honor your current home library card here.
We are having some technical difficulties with the link to our catalog from our webpages. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Until we get the matter resolved, you can access our catalog (and your account) by typing (or copy/paste) the following web address into your address bar:
