The library is a member of the Minerva consortium of Maine libraries (shared catalog system)[2] and participates in the MARVEL! statewide virtual library service which provides access to full-text articles, citations, and abstract information from newspapers, magazines, and journals.[3]

Opened in 1952, the library currently occupies the Iverson House, formerly a private residence (built in 1908).[4] An addition, doubling the library's size, was constructed in 1995.[5] Another expansion to the library was planned and voted on in November 2014. Efforts to expand are moving forward. For more information, visit www.falmouthmemoriallibrary.org/our-new-library.
