Fairbury Public Library | The Fairbury Public Library strives to serve the community of Fairbury and the surrounding areas with educational, technology, and literature resources.

Welcome to StoryWalk®at Fairbury City Park

A Storywalk® combines physical activity with books to help build children’s interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for all! It begins on the southeast side of the Frontier Fun Park near the gravel parking lot. From there, follow the story by walking around the circle!

New at the Storywalk®: Look for the letters on the book pages. String them together to learn the Storywalk Phrase. When you know the phrase, come to the library, tell a librarian, and get a small prize!

Now Featured:

Squirrels chit-chitter-chatter, foxes swoosh-whoosh-rush, a deer stomp-stomp-stamps, and a hawk scree-scree-screeches. Into these quiet, NOISY woods, readers follow two frisky wolf pups yip-yap-yowling and grr-ruff-ruff-racing as they find their way back to their pack. Children will love calling out the interesting animal sounds throughout this enchanting, fast-paced chase through a lush forest.

We are excited to announce that we will continue to offer Mango Languages!

At home, in your car, anywhere you go, you can learn a new language! All you need is your library card! Over 70 languages to choose from! Ask us and we will help you get started today learning a foreign language!

Would you like to explore historic editions of the Fairbury Journal-News from the comfort of your home with just your library card? Well, now you can!

The Library is partnering with Newspaper Archives to digitize old issues of the newspaper currently available on microfilm that will then be available through our library’s subscription.

The project was initiated, and partially funded, by a former Fairbury resident. This is not a library funded project, so the remainder of the funds need to be raised through private donations. If you would like to help, donations can be made to the Fairbury Public Library Foundation and dropped off at the library.
