This building was constructed by the Winnsboro Trade School. Next, the old telephone office, Prairie and Pine, the old Masonic Lodge building, the parish owned building at 209 Main Street and finally the present location 705 Prairie Street in the restored Walters's Building. This library completed in February of 1995 consists of 14,500 square feet and nearly tripled the size of the library. The first library offered books, magazines and newspapers as well as reference and children's services. Since that time, art prints, phonograph records, interlibrary loan, copier machine, books on tape, videos, large print books, microfilm, and the on-line computer have been added to the collection.
Patrons find many mediums in which to satisfy their information needs.
