Public library service in the Ruskin community traces its origins to 1916 when the library was housed in private homes. In 1929 the collection, largely culled from collections of private citizens, moved to the Chamber of Commerce Building. At that time the Ruskin Woman's Club operated and maintained the collection of materials. In 1940, the collection moved again, this time to the Woman's Club building. In 1963, a Library Association was formed to raise funds for the construction of a permanent library building.
The Commongood Society donated the land, and in 1965 ground was broken. The present building opened on June 5, 1966 and an addition for the children's area was added in 1985. Presently the building holds more than 45,000 volumes including large type and Spanish language materials. In addition, there are extensive paperback, video and periodical collections.
