History of the Library

The Mexico Public Library was established in 1964 by Mexico's "New 
Century Club" and was located in a small rented storefront on Main Street in 
Mexico.  In 1973 it was decided that a new library should be built, however, 
no suitable site was located.  In 1979 a donation was made to the 
Library which allowed it to be moved to the current location, just a half 
block east of the original location.  The current building originally housed 
the beginning of Grandma Brown's Beans and it was the family of Lulu "Grandma" 
Brown who made it possible to have the facility that we have today.

About 10 years ago another donation was made to the Library that 
enabled the Board of Trustees to purchase the building next to the library and 
renovate for expansion of the library's collection into that space.  A new 
children's reading areas was opened in the summer of 1997 and a public 
computer access area was developed in 1998.  

In 2004, more renovation was done to add a conference/study room.  
Automation of the library collection was completed in 2005.  In 2008, thanks 
to a Gates Library Grant as well as local donors, the library was able to add 
3 computer workstations and wireless internet access.
