About the library:

The Middletown Free Library, located in Lima, is a busy place these days — on average, over 300 people per day walk through our doors.

Since its inception in 1956, the Library has expanded from a small book bus to a full-sized library, carrying books, CDs, DVDs, video games, audiobooks and a large selection of current magazines. In 2014 the library added a makerspace, CreateSpace@MFL, offering our community access to cutting edge technology and programming such as 3D Printers. The library also acts as a great community center, offering many programs for patrons of all ages. 

The library provides the highest level of service to all library users through appropriate and usefully organized resources; equitable access; and accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to all requests.
​
The mission of the Library is to help the people of our community achieve their full potential through the transformative power of information, imagination & ideas.
