History

Formed by the Mattydale School Mother’s Club in 1942, the library moved several times before opening at its permanent location next to the Roxboro Road Middle School in 1968. In 2002, that building was demolished to make way for construction of the current building. Fun fact: The library is located on land next to Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum’s childhood home (1866-1882).
