As previously announced, the Library’s website is moving to a new vendor due to our current vendor closing down. The launch of our new site is scheduled for today, Wednesday, Sept 10 - and possibly into tomorrow. We are keeping our website address (sharonpubliclibrary.org) so this should be a seamless transition, with no interruption to service anticipated. If you experience issues with the website today (Wed, Sept 10) please contact the Adult Services Dept at reference@sharon.ocln.org. Thank you for your patience as we make this change..

The Mission of the Sharon Public Library is to serve the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of all members of the Sharon community by providing access to professional staff, a state-of-the-art facility, and quality materials, programs, and services.
