The Plainville Public Library helps taxpayers save money in a number of different ways. By using the library and taking advantage of the free resources and information, the residents of Plainville help their own pocketbooks. They don’t have to pay to borrow print books or to download e-books or audiobooks to their mobile devices. They don’t have to pay to borrow a DVD or music CD. From the comfort of their own home, they can go online and access the Library’s various databases for up-to-the-minute information. Yet for those in our community who don’t own a computer, the Library saves them money by providing free public computer access.
The Plainville Public Library hosts many events and workshops for children of all ages that can be registered for even if you are not a resident of Plainville.
