About Ferguson Library

The Ferguson Library in downtown Stamford offers versatile event spaces within the Main Library (DiMattia Building) and the Dudley N. Williams, Jr. Auditorium. Whether you’re planning an author talk, film screening, or community program, these venues provide configurable layouts, accessible facilities, and convenient downtown amenities. We’ve got you covered to secure your seats and plan your visit with ease.

Key spaces include the Dudley N. Williams, Jr. Auditorium (Main Library) with flexible room setups (Theater, Cabaret, and more) and the smaller Auditorium at the Harry Bennett Branch with a compact capacity. Parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining support a smooth attendee experience. Read on for practical details and trusted local recommendations.

Note: The South End Branch has temporarily relocated to the Lathon Wider Community Center (34 Woodland Ave) with an anticipated 2026 reopening, and will later move to a temporary space above Prime at 78 Southfield Ave during the transition. The Main Library remains at the DiMattia Building, and the Ferguson Library continues to host films, author visits, and Civil Rights–related programming along with other cultural events.
