The new library is the result of support from the Fairfield community, a growth in technology, and lack of space for new materials and programs. The building project was a joint effort between the city of Fairfield and Lane Public Library. The library is located in the Village Green area, 1485 Corydale Drive, Fairfield, OH. The building is three times the size of the old library at 25, 000 square feet.

Teen Zone
The Teen Zone is decorated in red and blue with a very hi-tech look that is designed to appeal to teens. Teens are able to read, surf the Internet or watch TV.

Children's Department
The Children's Department is bright and colorful, decorated in green, yellow, orange and blue with one area featuring a 40 foot ceiling with stars. You'll definitely know that you're in the Children's area when you pass through the entrance featuring 3-dimensional shapes. The room also has a special area for Story Time.

Circulation Services
The Circulation desk features a custom-made wood panel wall highlighted with black trim. The large desk holds four computers and three cash registers. This should help to eliminate checkout delays. Four self-checkout stations are also available for your convenience. In a hurry? Visit the Fast Lane drive-thru to pick up your reserved items. The drive-thru opens at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Conveniently drop-off materials at the walk-up book return located at the park side entrance or the drive-up book return located opposite the drive-thru.

Information Services
A separate Information Services area allows for more efficient customer service. The reference collection has been expanded to include more titles of interest to businesses, students, or individuals doing research. The magazine collection now boasts a collection of 300 subscriptions. Newspapers have increased to 25 subscriptions. There are numerous computers available for searching the library catalog, surfing the Internet, or word processing. The business area will provide users with a typewriter, photocopiers and other supplies.

Computer Lab
The new Computer Lab features twelve computers. Classes are being offered including the basics of using a computer, how to search the Internet, genealogy and using the Lane Public Library reference databases. When not in use, the room will be opened to the public.
