Title
Towanda Illinois District Library
Description
The Towanda library was established in 1939 with help from the Federal Works Agency Project Administration. In 1943, the town assumed complete responsibility of the library.
In August of 1964, the library was closed due to a lack of funds. Library board members and other volunteers raised funds to successfully reopen the library. In June 1967, the Township Tax was passed and the library became officially known as the Towanda Township Library. In 1974, the library abolished all overdue fines by adopting a no-fine policy.
The library changed names to The Towanda District Library when the district was formed on Feb. 10, 1988. The library was housed in several locations in Towanda before beginning construction of a new building in late 1988. The new building opened on Feb. 7, 1989 at 301 S. Taylor St. in Towanda. This building was funded by an Illinois Secretary of State building grant and with special reserve funds.
