Mead Public Library History

Mead Reading Club and the Library

The Mead Public Library was organized by the Mead Reading Club in 1937. The first library was quartered in an unheated building on the main street. This served the needs of the community until cold weather forced finding new accommodations.

The library moved two more times until in 1975, the town board designated a library board and provided the old fire barn as the library. The public library was dedicated Nov. 17, 1975.

One of the buildings used as a library, formerly the Ostenberg Salt House, now privately owned.
