Welcome

     The Lawrence Memorial Library was given to the town of Bristol for $1.00 by Mr. William Lawrence, local business man and Addison County Sheriff. He dedicated the library to his two deceased wives, Minnie Peet Lawrence and Lockie Partch Lawrence. Although the library has been extensively renovated, care has been taken so that the library would still look very familiar to Mr. Lawrence. Please come in to visit the library which Mr. Lawrence said in 1911 was, "...not an elaborate affair, but it is substantial, plain, modest, like the characters and lives of those whose memory this new home for the library is to commemorate."

The library is located at 40 North Street, two doors down from the fire station and across from the Federated Church in beautiful downtown Bristol.

The mission of the Lawrence Memorial Library is to provide free access to information, services and programs to nurture the intellectual and cultural life of the Bristol community. We encourage you to visit the library in person to become acquainted with the many resources and services we offer.
