The Bristol Public Library opened in 1892. The newest renovation, completed in 2006, has extensive public meeting facilities, a computer lab, free Wi-Fi, and houses a diverse collection of print, and digital media. In the first year of its existence the Bristol Public Library owned fewer than 4,000 books. Today the entire collection includes over 200,000 books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, e-books, audiobooks, digital magazines, movies and music.
