History of the White Pigeon Library

Have you ever wondered what the library looked like in earlier times?

The legend is that in the early days of the settlement, White Pigeon's library consisted of a small collection of books kept in a box in the village blacksmith's shop. The earliest date found for reference to our library is 1853.
