The first library began as a Mechanic’s Institute.  An original record book covering 1877-1892 is held by the Regional History Collection at UWO.  The exact location of that library is unknown.  When the County Library took over in 1963, the library was in the Ailsa Craig municipal building, in a small 18' x 22' room.  In March of 1985, the library was moved to part of the vacated fire hall in the municipal building.  In 1992 the library was expanded to take over all of the fire hall in the municipal building.

A multi-purpose centre was built on Main Street in 2000 (opened in 2001) to house the library, a community policing office and a satellite office for the new Municipality of North Middlesex.
