Originally built as a school and library as a gift from Edward A Goodnow, completed in 1884. The deed stipulated that the rooms used as a school would be moved when the library needed the additional space. The school was closed in 1906.

Originally the east half of the building was used as a public library and the western half as a schoolhouse. Around the turn of the century the town built a schoolhouse for the students and the library took over the entire building. The east half currently houses all fiction, audio and video, young adult, and the director’s office. The west wing houses the non-fiction and reference collection, children’s room and technical service space. With the renovation we transformed the basement into a story hour room, kitchen, small meeting room and Historical Society space.
