History Of The Ann Farwell
Library
Nestled in the heart of Milford, the Ann Farwell Public Library was started through the efforts
of Jeanne Minhinnick and Ann Farwell in 1951, when they arranged 2,000 donated books on the
town hall stage and opened the door to library service in Milford. By 1993 the library had
grown so much that the community, led by some dedicated volunteers, built a new, fully
accessible library to serve their needs. The library is wheelchair
accessible through the front entrance by ramp. Disabled parking is also
available.
Today the branch has over 12,000 items in the collection. For children, there are board books,
picture books, easy reading, young reader's fiction, VHS, DVDs and audio tapes. For adults,
there are current best sellers, old favorites, classic literature, books on tape, large print,
fantasy and science fiction, and magazines, both current and back issues. The library also has
non-fiction for all ages on most subjects, a quick reference section,
several online databases including iBistro, the library's online catalogue access,
plenty of local history and genealogy, interlibrary loan service, children's programming and 3
public computers with free internet access.
