Maxwell Memorial Library serves the Town of Camillus, on the western side of Onondaga County. Founded in 1918, Maxwell is housed in a circa-1868 former church on the corner of Genesee and Leroy streets in the village of Camillus. 

The library offers a wide variety of educational, enriching, and entertaining programs and events for all ages. We have book clubs, storytimes, movie showings, craft programs, guest speakers, and more - and all activities, programs, and services are free! Maxwell also has an excellent summer reading program for children through adults. All activities, programs, and services are free.
