On April 28, 1876 the Wardsville Library Association and Mechanics Institute was formed, and received a grant from the Bureau of Agriculture to help buy books.  The library was located in a room rented from Alexander McCowan, Lot 16, on the north side of Main Street.  In June 1881, the library was moved to a room added to his tailor’s shop by William Mimna, on Lot 18, north side of Main Street.

In 1908 funds were raised in the community to purchase a building from Mrs. Alex McIntyre, for $155, to house the library.  The library remained there for more than ninety years.  During the years of World War I any money raised had been spent on the war effort, so in 1920 an appeal went out to current and former members of the Wardsville community for funds to improve and redecorate the library.  The response was generous. 

When Wardsville became part of the Municipality of Southwest Middlesex in January 2001 the Wardsville municipal office was renovated and the library was relocated there. The official opening was on June 8, 2001.
