Fairfield Library Association is the September 2020 City of Fairfield Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month.
During the COVID-19 pandemic Fairfield Library has found a way to help members check out books, with their Drive-Thru Book Pick Up.
In addition, they are still providing Story Time for their youngest fans, by hosting it virtually on zoom on Wednesdays.
