The first library
opened in Ilderton Presbyterian Church in 1918. In early 1925
the books were moved to the home of Robert Calvert. Early in
1933, another move was completed, to Alex W. Scott’s farmhouse.
The library was located at the Scott’s until 1966, when it moved
to rented space in the lower level of the Ilderton Legion Hall
(the former Continuation School) and became a branch of
Middlesex County Library.
In 1994 a new
library was built in Heritage Park in Ilderton. The Arva branch
was closed, and the new library was named London Township
Library. After London Township became part of the Municipality
of Middlesex Centre in 1998 the name was changed back to
Ilderton Library.
