Lyme was established by a charter in 1761; the first library was formed on January 20, 1798 and called “the Social Library in Lime.” In 1908, the town voted to support a public library called the Lyme Town Library. By the 1930s, the library had outgrown its space in the Lyme School and the town accepted a bequest to build a separate library building in memory of Sidney Converse, to be called the Converse Free Library. It was completed in 1936. An addition was added to the building in the early 1980s. The collection today includes over 30,000 physical items to lend, in the form of books, periodicals, DVDs, and books on CD. The library houses and maintains the school 's collection also, sharing its resources with the Lyme Elementary School across the street through the efforts of the librarians in each building.
