Bridgeport Public Library

The Bridgeport Public Library serves as the Principal Public Library for the City of Bridgeport, the largest municipality in Connecticut. A city of 140,000 residents in 16 square miles, Bridgeport is one of the most densely populated cities in the U.S.

We believe that libraries can change people’s lives and are a cornerstone of our democracy. The Bridgeport Public Library provides opportunities for our residents and taxpayers to pursue lifelong learning, cultural and economic enrichment and enjoyment. To accomplish this mission, we offer free and open access to creative works, knowledge and information from diverse perspectives.
