The first library in town dates to 1879 when a railroad excursion trip raised money for an reading room. In 1894, a committee of eight residents formed the Turner Reading Room & Library Association and opened in two rooms of the Bolles Opera House. From 1929 until 1953, the library was housed in three downtown locations before a dedicated library building opened at 332 E. Washington St. on May 15, 1953. In 1986 the Library District was formed, converting it from a municipal library. On October 9, 1993, the current building was opened at 118 W. Washington St.
