HISTORY
A conversation at the Fairmount School
PTA meeting in 1955 was the genesis of today's Fairmount
Community Library. The individuals involved put their
energies into finding out how and what was necessary
to start a library and then proceeded to raise the
funding. The library received an official charter
from the State in November of 1956, and in April of
1957 opened its doors. Since then the library has
changed its location twice and remodeled twice to
meet the needs of its community. As a small community
library, Fairmount encourages an open and friendly
atmosphere where people of all ages can find information
and entertainment. Fairmount encourages both aspects
in the belief that both information and entertainment
are important to the full development of an individual's
character.
