The 9,285 square foot facility was completed in 1992 and dedicated in March 1993. This spacious, modern building replaced the Flora Carnegie Library building, a two-story yellow brick, which stood in Library Park from 1903 until 1990. In January 1990, the Carnegie building was deemed structurally unsafe and closed to the public. After a two-year building campaign, along with the generosity and assistance of a supportive community, the new red brick structure was completed. Inside, open cathedral ceilings and spacious surroundings create an atmosphere conducive to reading, relaxation, and reflection. Three reading areas and a centralized lounge area provide comfortable seating.

The Community Room has the capacity for up to 60 people and may be rented for training, informational or other meetings. Today the library has an annual circulation of over 30,181 items with annual library visits totaling over 27,371.
