The library strongly supports the concept of lifelong learning that learning does not begin or cease with formal education, but enhances the quality of life at any age. The library was built in 1916-1917 with enthusiastic support from citizens led by Mrs. J.A. Munger. Citizens pledged continued funding for books, staff and maintenance. During 1993-1995, the Carnegie was expanded and remodeled to become a handicapped accessible modern building with an additional 8,000 sq. The library serves the 11,000 residents of Marion, Bono, and Spice Valley South townships.
