The Townshend Library is a simple one story white clapboard building. The entrance is centered on the gable end of the building. The door treatment has nice detail with sidelights on either side. There is an ell off the back of the building.
The Townshend Public Library has existed in several town locations. As early as 1899, a collection of books for use of the townspeople was located in the village schoolhouse. The library moved to Leland and Gray Seminary in 1909 and remained there until 1915. For many years thereafter the book collection was housed in the village elementary school and the Town Hall. The day after Labor Day in 1968, the town library with its collection of 4,000 books, moved to its present location in a building given by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lada-Mocarski on land donated by the town. The Townshend Library now circulates approximately 10,000 items a year and the collection of over 12,000 items consists of a variety of formats. The library also offers the free use of three computers and wireless service as well as various programs for all ages
