About Us.

ExtraordinARY.   VisionARY.   ImaginARY.

Established in 1976

The Roy R. Estle Memorial Library was dedicated on November 6, 1976.  The library was the generous gift from the late Minnie Estle in memory of her son, Roy. 
     After his death in 1969, Minnie honored him and his love of reading with a bequest in her will to donate the funds needed to build the library. 
     In 2001, thanks to a wonderful donation from the Labor family, along with other area residents and businesses, an addition was built and dedicated as the Doris Labor Program Room.

Our Goal

Working towards a bigger, better, library.

As our community grows, we are finding that our library is being utilized more and more.  So much, that in 2008 we moved our youth section to the Doris Labor room.  With this and the continued use of our book collection, computer stations, and public reading spaces we out grew our space again just a few years later.
     Thanks to the hard work of our library staff and volunteers, we are excited to announce that we now have a larger and updated library.  This addition and remodel brings added features such as a dedicated program room, dedicated study room, additional public computers, allow us to become ADA compliant, and much more.
     This is all because of the generosity of the Burnett family along with many donations from local residents and businesses.  Stop in soon to see our new space!
