The library was opened in 1911 using a Carnegie grant of $10,000. It was a library from 1911 to 1966. Currently it's a museum. The building was designed by W.H. Weeks. Weeks incorporated pedimented central portico supported by Greek Ionic columns in the architecture. The building was renovated in the 1970s and became a local historical landmark in the 1980s.
