Lawrence C. Falk Library

The Lawrence C. Falk Library offers at least 3,000 fiction, non-fiction, and biographies in the adult section. The collection includes books, books on tape, and videos for entertainment and education.

The Lawrence C. Falk Library is stocked with an extensive collection of current fiction and non-fiction bestsellers, audio books, and some DVD's. You may search using the legacy search platform.

The City is on a lease plan for our adult books, which enables the Library to receive newly published works the day they appear on store or library shelves. The plan allows for us to keep for our permanent collection 1 out of every 4 books we lease.

The library was named in honor of former Mayor Falk, who was instrumental in developing this important part of Prospect. Many of our books have been donated by residents since our opening on March 25, 2002.

What We Do

The Committee works to maintain the library’s excellent collection of current best-sellers, organizes book readings and special presentations, and holds two book sales per year. The library is predominately run by volunteers and is named in honor of Prospect Mayor Lawrence C. Falk, who created the library to serve the needs of city residents.

The collection contains most of the books on the public schools' reading lists, many classics, as well as books by the most popular modern authors.
