The Colonial Heights Library was the first branch of the Sullivan County Library System and was organized in 1961. Originally housed in a garage of Reverend Pitzer Lyons, the library was transferred to his office at the Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church. Later the library resided in one room of the Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church. Volunteers of the community ran the library until 1962.
In 1976 it was moved into the Colonial Heights OMNI Center, which had originally been the church's parsonage. The Colonial Heights Friends of the Library raised money to furnish the new building. In 1995 the library was moved to a new facility at the former Pactolus Community Center near Sullivan South High School.
Internet access if from ternimals which are turned off 15 minutes before library closing.
