History

William Allan Wilde gave the Acton Memorial Library to the Town as a memorial to its Civil War veterans in 1890. The building was expanded in 1967, and a second major expansion and renovation was completed in 1999.

The Acton Memorial Library is located at 486 Main St. (Rte. 27) in Acton Center. Take Rt. 2 to Exit 42 onto Route 27, heading North. The Library is 1 mile on the left next to the Town Hall, across from the monument on the Town green. The Library has several meeting and study rooms.
